Cabinet in Metairie, LA
Metairie is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Jefferson Parish, and with 143,507 residents in 2020 it is the largest community in the parish and the fifth-largest CDP in the country.
Most of it sits on Metairie Ridge, a natural levee left behind by an ancient branch of the Mississippi that the Acolapissa used as a road long before French settlers arrived in the 1720s.
Sharecropping farms covered the area until urbanization got moving in the 1910s, and the upscale tracts laid out off Metairie Road in the 1920s are still called Old Metairie.
The rest filled in quickly after the war: Interstate 10, the Earhart Expressway and Veterans Memorial Boulevard set the grid, Lakeside Shopping Center opened on Veterans in March 1960 as the first regional mall in the New Orleans area, and by the 1970s the bars and clubs of Fat City had become the local nightlife district.
The 17th Street Canal forms the boundary with New Orleans, Lake Pontchartrain the northern edge. Rainfall averages 62.5 inches a year and 77 days reach 90 degrees or hotter.
Three housing eras here mean three different jobs. Old Metairie's 1920s and 1930s houses have plaster walls, tall ceilings and a kitchen that was tacked onto the back at some point, so those get full custom casework, scribed and shimmed, with door styles that answer to the trim already in the room.
The 1950s through 1970s ranch houses that make up the bulk of the community came with a framed soffit over the wall cabinets and 30-inch uppers; pulling the soffit out and running doors to the ceiling gains a whole shelf of storage and is the single most requested change we make on this side of the parish.
In the newer subdivisions closer to the lake the boxes are usually fine and the layout is the problem, so the budget goes into an island, a pantry and drawer conversions rather than a demolition.
Commercial work is a real share of what we do here too, with reception desks, break rooms and exam-room casework for the offices and clinics strung along Veterans and Causeway, installed on off-hours schedules where a tenant cannot lose a day.
About Metairie, LA — and why local matters here
Metairie sits in Jefferson Parish with a population of roughly 143,507, close enough to New Orleans that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include Lakeside Shopping Center, Veterans Memorial Boulevard, the Earhart Expressway, Metairie Ridge.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Metairie properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Jefferson Parish, and a cabinet contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

Cabinet work we do in Metairie, LA
New Orleans Elite Cabinets covers the same range of work in Metairie that we do in New Orleans — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Custom Kitchen Cabinets — Custom kitchen cabinets in a New Orleans house have to solve two problems at once: the humidity, and the fact that very little in an older house here is level. We design, build, and install full custom kitchens from 3/4-inch moisture-resistant furniture-grade plywood, then shim and scribe them into rooms that have been quietly settling on soft ground for a century.
- Bathroom Vanities — A custom bathroom vanity is the one piece of cabinetry in the house that lives under a water supply in a room that turns into a steam bath twice a day, which is why it usually fails first. We build vanities with sealed interiors, a solid plywood floor in the sink base, and hardware picked for a wet room instead of a dry one.
- Walk-In Closets & Wardrobes — Walk-in closets and wardrobe systems return more per dollar than anything else we build, because the room already exists and hardly anybody is using it properly. A single rod with one shelf above it wastes roughly half the volume of a typical closet, and replacing it with a designed layout usually doubles what the same footprint holds.
- Garage Cabinets & Storage — Garage cabinets turn the least organized room on the property into the most useful one, and around here they have to survive conditions no interior cabinet ever meets. We build garage storage in moisture-resistant plywood or powder-coated steel, wall-hung wherever the framing allows, with finishes and hardware chosen for a space that is hot, damp, and occasionally underwater.
- Home Office & Built-Ins — Home office and built-in cabinetry is what turns an awkward spare bedroom, a dead corner, or a blank parlor wall into the part of the house people comment on. Built-ins are a different product from furniture pushed against a wall: they use the full depth and height available, scribe tight to the plaster, and lose the dust gap and the wobble.
- Entertainment Centers & Media Walls — Entertainment centers and media walls are the built-in most likely to be designed around a television that will be replaced in four years, which is the one mistake worth planning against. We build media walls that hide the equipment, handle the heat and cabling properly, and are dimensioned so the next screen still fits without a rebuild.
