Frequently asked questions
WHAT DOES A NEW KITCHEN INSTALLATION WITH ELITE CARPENTRY AND RESTORATIONS INCLUDE?

We handle the entire process — custom cabinetry, built-in islands, flooring transitions, lighting integration, and full trim work. Every kitchen is designed and built on-site with premium hardwoods, MDF, or European-style slab doors to match your vision and lifestyle.
What are hidden doors and how do they work?

Hidden (or “secret”) doors are custom-built to blend seamlessly into the wall, bookcase, or paneling. Using European-style pivot hinges or magnetic touch-latches, they open smoothly while remaining invisible when closed — perfect for wine rooms, pantries, offices, or safe rooms.
What do modern style door casings look like?

We craft simple, architectural casings with flat or very subtle ¼-round profiles, 3½–5½ inch widths, and mitered corners. Available in paint-grade or stained hardwood, they create a seamless, frameless appearance that complements open-concept homes and modern interiors.
