Why Kitchen Specialization Matters
Why Choose Kitchen Specialists Over General Contractors?
Here’s what sets Elite Kitchen & Bath apart in North Idaho: while general contractors juggle everything from roofing to room additions, we’ve spent years perfecting the art and science of kitchen renovations. We know every challenge these spaces present, every opportunity they offer, and every detail that transforms a functional kitchen into the heart of your home.

Kitchen Transformation Story
From Cramped and Outdated to Open and Inspiring
We understand the daily frustrations of a kitchen that doesn’t work for your life. Whether it’s inadequate storage, poor workflow, or a style that feels stuck in the past, these issues affect how you cook, entertain, and connect with family every single day.
Common Kitchen Frustrations We Solve:
1
Wasted Storage Space
Cabinets that are too deep, corners you can’t reach, and pantries that become black holes where items disappear. We design smart storage solutions: pull-out drawers that bring everything to you, corner systems that actually work, and pantry organization that keeps everything visible and accessible.
2
Inefficient Workflow
Layouts that create traffic jams, force you to walk miles while cooking, or separate you from family and guests. We optimize the kitchen triangle and create natural gathering spaces that keep you connected while you work.
3
Inadequate Lighting
Dark corners, harsh overhead lights, or insufficient task lighting that makes cooking difficult and the space feel uninviting. We layer ambient, task, and accent lighting to create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion.
4
Limited Counter Space
Never enough room for meal prep, daily mail, kids’ homework, or entertaining. We maximize usable counter space and create designated zones for different activities.
5
Disconnected from Daily Life
Kitchens that feel separate from the home’s flow, making you miss conversations and family time. We create open, connected spaces that become natural gathering points.
