Elite Kitchens and Bathrooms

Elite is a cabinet shop first. The cabinets for its kitchens and bathrooms are built in its own workshop in Langley, then installed in your home by the same company, which is a different deal from buying boxes off a shelf and hiring someone else to fit them.

What they do

• Custom cabinets: kitchens, bathrooms and other rooms such as dens and laundry rooms, built to your measurements
• Doors and inserts: custom doors and organizer inserts for drawers and cupboards
• Countertops: quartz, porcelain, quartzite and granite
• The finishing pieces: sinks, handles and hardware, all shown in the showroom

They offer free in-home consultations, and their designers draw the plan in 3D. A free guide on what to look for in a quote is on their home page.

Who is behind it

The founder and owner is Ken Jungling. He trained as a joinery journeyman at BCIT, spent years in cabinet and furniture shops, and started Elite in Maple Ridge in 1990. The business moved to its Langley location in 1991. The site also names an operations manager and a kitchen designer on the team.

Before you go

The showroom is at 196 Street, reached by the overpass near Willowbrook; the contact page has route videos from Surrey, North Langley, South Langley and Cloverdale. Posted hours are Monday to Friday 8 to 5 and Saturday 8 to 3:30, closed Sundays and holidays, though Google lists Wednesday as closed, so a call to 604-533-4541 first is a good plan. They also post kitchen design ideas on their blog, most recently on 2027 trends.
