Our Cabinet Services in New Orleans, LA

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.

Laundry Room Cabinets
Laundry room cabinets are the fastest and cheapest room in the house to fix, and most laundry rooms around here are one wire shelf away from being a genuinely good workspace. We build laundry cabinetry with a folding counter, real detergent storage, somewhere to hang things, and hampers that live inside the casework instead of on the floor.

Pantry Systems
Pantry systems decide whether a kitchen gains or loses about a third of its practical capacity, and most builder pantries are deep fixed shelves where groceries go to be forgotten. We design pantry storage around one principle: if you cannot see it without moving something else, you do not really own it.

Cabinet Refacing, Refinishing & Painting
Cabinet refacing, refinishing, and painting are three routes to the same destination, and which one suits your kitchen depends on the condition of the boxes rather than on how tired the doors look. We assess the carcasses first and tell you honestly which route makes sense, including the times when the answer is none of them.

Cabinet Hardware & Organizers
Cabinet hardware and interior organizers are the cheapest upgrade in a kitchen and the one that changes daily life the most, which is a strange pairing most people only discover after spending thirty thousand dollars on the cabinets themselves. We install and retrofit hardware and organizers across Greater New Orleans, including on cabinetry we did not build.

Soft-Close & Pull-Out Systems
Soft-close and pull-out systems are the mechanical difference between cabinetry that feels expensive and cabinetry that only looks it. They are also the difference between hardware that still works in twenty years and hardware that gets sloppy in three.

Countertops
Countertops are the surface you touch more than any other in the house, and picking one is mostly a question of how much maintenance you are honestly willing to do. We template, fabricate, and install quartz, granite, solid surface, and butcher block, and we set them on cabinetry that has been leveled properly so the seams stay tight instead of opening up by Christmas.

Islands & Breakfast Bars
Kitchen islands and breakfast bars are the piece everyone gathers around and the piece most often sized wrong, because it is the one element people specify by how it looks instead of by how the room moves. We design islands starting from clearances and traffic flow, then work outward to storage and seating.

Wine & Bar Cabinets
Wine and bar cabinets are the smallest thing we build that collects the most compliments, and in this climate the wine half of that comes with a technical warning most shops will not give you. We build wine storage, wet bars, dry bars, beverage centers, and coffee stations, and we will tell you plainly what a cabinet can and cannot do for a bottle.

Mudroom & Entryway Storage
Mudroom and entryway storage decides whether the first ten seconds of coming home are pleasant or aggravating, and it is almost always the last thing anybody thinks about. We build drop zones from a full wall of lockers down to a single well-made bench in a back hall that is only four feet wide.

Commercial Cabinetry & Millwork
Commercial cabinetry and millwork is a different trade from residential work, built to different standards and expected to survive use no home kitchen ever sees. We design, build, and install commercial casework for offices, medical and dental practices, clinics, retail, restaurants, hotels, schools, and churches across Greater New Orleans.

Laundry Room Cabinets

Cabinet Refacing, Refinishing & Painting
Cabinet refacing, refinishing, and painting are three routes to the same destination, and which one suits your kitchen depends on the condition of the boxes rather than on how tired the doors look. We assess the carcasses first and tell you honestly which route makes sense, including the times when the answer is none of them.
Refacing keeps the existing boxes and replaces everything you see: new doors, new drawer fronts, new hardware, and matching wood veneer or laminate on the face frames and exposed end panels.

- new doors and drawer fronts
- veneer refacing
- cabinet door replacement
- spray-finished cabinets
- conversion varnish refinishing

Cabinet Hardware & Organizers
Cabinet hardware and interior organizers are the cheapest upgrade in a kitchen and the one that changes daily life the most, which is a strange pairing most people only discover after spending thirty thousand dollars on the cabinets themselves. We install and retrofit hardware and organizers across Greater New Orleans, including on cabinetry we did not build. Hinges and slides are the mechanical heart of a kitchen and the first place builder-grade work saves money.

- spice drawer inserts
- knife blocks and tray dividers
- trash and recycling pull-outs

We fit and retrofit Blum and Grass soft-close hardware and pull-out storage on new cabinets and on existing ones.
- soft-close hinges
- soft-close drawer slides
- Blum Blumotion

We template, fabricate, and install quartz, granite, solid surface, and butcher block, and we set them on cabinetry that has been leveled properly so the seams stay tight instead of opening up by Christmas.

- undermount sink cutouts
- countertop templating and installation
- backsplash and full-height slabs
- countertop edge profiles

Islands & Breakfast Bars
Kitchen islands and breakfast bars are the piece everyone gathers around and the piece most often sized wrong, because it is the one element people specify by how it looks instead of by how the room moves. We design islands starting from clearances and traffic flow, then work outward to storage and seating. Clearance is not negotiable and it is where most island plans come apart.
- custom kitchen islands
- breakfast bars

- island seating overhangs
- islands with sinks or cooktops
- island storage and drawers
- microwave and wine fridge islands
- two-tier islands

Wine & Bar Cabinets

- beverage center cabinets
- wine refrigerator surrounds
- glass-front bar cabinets
- stemware racks
- bottle storage
- bar countertops

We build drop zones from a full wall of lockers down to a single well-made bench in a back hall that is only four feet wide. The design rule is that storage has to be easier than the floor, or the floor wins.

What New Orleans property owners ask us
Which cabinet services does New Orleans Elite Cabinets handle?
Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across New Orleans and Greater New Orleans. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.
Can I combine more than one service in a single job?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling cabinet work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.
Do you give free estimates for every service?
Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
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.
