New Orleans Elite Cabinets provides professional commercial cabinetry & millwork in New Orleans, LA for residential and commercial properties across Greater New Orleans. 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.
The specification changes first. Commercial casework is generally built to AWI standards in economy, custom, or premium grade, and the grade belongs in the documents rather than in somebody's assumption.
Surfaces move toward high-pressure laminate, thermally fused laminate, or solid surface instead of stained wood, because a reception counter takes a hundred hands a day and a break room counter takes coffee, and both have to wipe clean and resist chemicals.
Edges get 3mm PVC banding rather than thin tape, since thin tape peels inside a year in commercial service. Hardware moves up to institutional grade: heavier hinges, slides with real cycle ratings, and locks where the contents warrant them.
Medical and dental casework has its own rules. Sealed seams, no unfinished interiors, chemical-resistant tops, sinks with correct clearances, integrated solid surface where cleaning demands an unbroken surface, and sharps and supply storage sized to the practice's workflow. Exam rooms are repetitive, which helps, but they have to be identical, which means real shop drawings and tight tolerances rather than improvisation in the field.
ADA compliance is not optional and it is where commercial jobs get caught late. A transaction counter needs a compliant lowered section of the right length and height with knee clearance. Break room sinks and work surfaces need clear floor space and reach ranges. We design to it from the start and note it on the drawings so nobody discovers it at inspection.
Hospitality is a large share of the work in this city, and it brings its own demands.
Bar and back-bar millwork in a room that is wet, hot, and full every night wants marine-grade or moisture-resistant substrate, stainless or solid surface where liquid sits, and a finish that survives daily cleaning.
Restaurant service stations, host stands, banquette bases, and hotel casegoods all have to coordinate with health department requirements and with a schedule that does not permit a dark week.
In a French Quarter or Warehouse District buildout, add tight access, no loading dock, and a historic shell where nothing is square — we field-verify and build for the opening we measured rather than the one on the plan.
Across all of it, two things decide whether a commercial job goes smoothly: shop drawings and site coordination. We produce real drawings, field-verify before fabrication, and coordinate with the general contractor, the electrician, and the plumber so the blocking, the power, and the plumbing are where our casework needs them to be.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — moisture-resistant plywood boxes, solid maple dovetail drawers, Blum and Grass soft-close hardware, full-overlay and inset doors, framed and frameless European construction, catalyzed conversion varnish — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Orleans and nearby communities including Metairie, Kenner, Marrero, Terrytown.

Materials, equipment and how we do commercial cabinetry & millwork
The difference between commercial cabinetry & millwork that lasts and commercial cabinetry & millwork that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with moisture-resistant plywood boxes, solid maple dovetail drawers, Blum and Grass soft-close hardware, full-overlay and inset doors, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every New Orleans job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of cabinet work in Greater New Orleans means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
