Itai of Elite Kitchen & Bath custom-designed a beautiful, highly functional, and extremely high-quality kitchen wall unit to replace an aging one. He was patient, listened carefully and made minor adjustments until the design was exactly what we wanted, then followed through with the sourcing of materials from overseas and final assembly by expert installers. All of this proceeded while the world was in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic. Old vs. new wall units are pictured. We couldn't be more pleased with the result.

The Elite Kitchen and Bath and Express Contracting Team and Owners provide exceptional service and work. They renovated a home for us years ago and later, an apartment in NYC. Honesty, integrity, high-quality workmanship and products, are terms that apply to them. They recently made some updates to our NYC apartment that they renovated for us several years ago. We enjoyed the same attention to detail and fine service for our small updates as we received when they performed our full renovations. You can count on a seamless and worry-free experience, plus you absolutely feel as if though, you are

We had our two bathrooms redone and our kitchen completely gutted and redesigned by Yeheskel Sharbani of Elite Kitchen and Bath and Express Contracting. Although the job was a major one and took a long time, the results were worth it! From the start Robin at Elite Kitchen and Sharbani gave us such good advice about the design and fixtures. The showroom was beautiful and everyone was helpful. The people that worked on site were courteous and kept things as neat as they could since we continued to live in the apartment during the remodel. We are very pleased with the results! Our apartment is beautiful

Express Contracting/Elite Kitchen and Bath took my small co-op kitchen, gutted the whole thing, moved the sink, installed 3 kinds of lighting and turned it into a full-size dream of a kitchen complete with granite table, clotted cream cabinets with architectural details and stone-effect porcelain floor. I don't think I will ever be able to move because I have not seen a more perfect small kitchen in the whole metropolitan area! I have to add that the work took approximately 2 months, and not only was the workmanship impeccable but also the workers were extremely nice and kept the area very clean

We had a small job - new quartz countertop and subway tile backsplash. The quality of the work was exceptional from start of demolition to completion. Each of the workers were courteous, clean and extremely diligent. Very professional. Our kitchen looks new. Thank you Elite.
