About New Orleans Elite Cabinets: Cabinet Pros in LA
We are a shop first and a sales operation second. The person who measures your kitchen has built one, and the boxes going into your house were cut and assembled by people whose names we know.
Over 15 years of doing that across New Orleans and Greater New Orleans teaches you one thing early: an old house on soft river soil is less like a building than like a boat at a dock. It is stable.
It is just stable the way a moored boat is stable, and cabinetry has to be fitted with that in mind instead of against it.
Material and installation are the two places a low bid hides, and both are invisible once you are looking at a finished door.
Our carcasses are 3/4-inch moisture-resistant plywood with dado-and-glue joinery, drawers are solid maple and dovetailed on full-extension Blum undermount slides, hinges are Blum or Grass soft-close, and painted finishes are sprayed in catalyzed conversion varnish in our own booth. We build to KCMA and ANSI A161.1 standards on CARB Phase 2 compliant panels, with FSC-certified material available on request.
We also think most people overspend on door style and underspend on drawer boxes and slides, which are the parts you touch ten times a day. Then we install it properly: shimmed off the high point, scribed to walls that are rarely plumb, and re-adjusted a few weeks later once the house has moved.
The housing stock does the rest of the talking. A raised Creole cottage, a shotgun with a kitchen tacked onto the back in the fifties, a sound 1990s tract kitchen in Kenner and a house rebuilt from 2006 onward are four different jobs, and we price them as four.
The work runs from kitchens, vanities, closets and garage storage to built-ins, entertainment centers, pantries, laundry rooms, islands, bar cabinets, mudrooms, countertops, refacing and commercial casework.
Whether it is a full custom kitchen in a century-old Uptown house, closets and a laundry in Terrytown, exam-room casework for a clinic on Veterans, or refacing in Kenner, we design it, build it here and install it with our own crews. Free in-home design, an itemized quote, and a written workmanship warranty on everything we make.

How New Orleans Elite Cabinets works
How a job with New Orleans Elite Cabinets runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation. Written workmanship warranty on every job backs the finished work.
What we will not do
We do not quote a cabinet job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in New Orleans.
Where New Orleans Elite Cabinets works and who we work with
New Orleans, LA first, then the surrounding communities of Greater New Orleans: Metairie, Kenner, Marrero, Terrytown, Harvey, Estelle, Gretna, River Ridge and more. Each of those has its own page with local detail rather than a copy of this one.
Work splits roughly between homeowners and commercial property — offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA boards across Greater New Orleans. Start with the New Orleans services, the New Orleans Elite Cabinets homepage, or just call (833) 632-3603.

What New Orleans Customers Say
Full kitchen in an 1890s house where nothing was square or level. They shimmed and scribed everything, ran the cabinets to the ceiling, and came back a month later to re-align the doors without being asked.
Three quotes for new cabinets and these were the only people who explained the difference between plywood and particleboard instead of just handing me a number. The dovetail drawers feel like furniture.
They told us refacing was the smarter spend and rebuilt the one base cabinet under the sink that had gone soft. New doors, fronts and hardware in about a week and it looks like a new kitchen.
Reception desk and break-room casework for our office, hit the schedule exactly, and the lowered ADA section at the counter was right the first time. We will use them for the next buildout.
Our kitchen was put in after 2006 and the boxes were fine, so they converted the slides and hinges to soft-close, added roll-outs and a pull-out beside the fridge. Feels like a different kitchen for a fraction of the cost.
Garage cabinets hung on a ledger well off the slab, moisture-resistant plywood, and a workbench top that takes abuse. They measured around the truck doors so we can still park in there.
