You used "started" in the first and second sentences. To avoid this repetition, I suggest a verb that relates specifically to time.

He started to take down the upper cabinets and reattached them a little bit lower. (This doesn't sound right to me.)
He started to take down the upper cabinets, and he reattached them a little bit lower. (IDK if this fixes the problem.)
I like @Lionel's suggestion of "he started by," but I'm not sure that it aligns well with "he reattached."
I tried some variations, but I couldn't decide if they were grammatically correct!
He started by taking down the upper cabinets and reattached them a little bit lower. (?)
He started by taking down the upper cabinets, and he reattached them a little bit lower. (?)
He started by taking down the upper cabinets; then he reattached them a little bit lower. (?)
He started by taking down the upper cabinets, which he reattached a little bit lower. (?)
When I am confused like this, I choose a structure I know is correct!
Around noon, our kitchen project design manager stopped by home and showed me some tile samples.
"stopped by" and "came over" (stop by & come over) both imply that you are in a place, and the person in question is joining you there
We had already had talked it before andabout tiles, but she just wanted to confirm itmy choice.
You don't need "already" and "before" in the same sentence. One is enough.
"it" doesn't clearly refer to something in a previous sentence. The closest thing is "tile samples"
In speaking, you could use "we talked about it before" meaning "we talked about that topic," but in writing it's best to be precise, so that your reader doesn't have to pause and figure things out.
I choose a simple, white, and glossy square tile.
Tomorrow the another project manager will come here and install our countertops.
"the other" (if there are two) or "another" (if it is just one more and we don't know the total number)
Feedback
When you move beyond simple sentences in your writing, grammar errors become harder to fix, and questions about what is correct become harder to answer. If I am in doubt, I usually change the sentence structure to something I feel confident is correct.

The worker started his work around 9 am again.

Around noon, our kitchen project design manager stopped by home and showed me some tile samples.
"Home" is not necessary. "Stopped by" is a common expression by itself, with the "here" implied. You could also say, "stopped by the house."

talked about it OR discussed it
"but" is better than "and" because the second part is surprising, given the first part.
I choose a simple, white, and glossy square tile.
I don't like to overcorrect punctuation for language learners, but really this should probably be "simple white

Great work! Remember to consistently use the past tense.
Is it annoying to be there during all the construction? Lots of noise?
The worker start his work at around 9 am again.
He started toby takeing down the upper cabinets and reattached them a little bit lower.
"started by" gives the nuance that this is the first thing that this person did.
while "started" would simply means that he has begun that task at that moment.
After that, everything went smoothly.
