Manhasset, NY ยท Since 1984Manhasset, NY
Founded by Yeheskel Sharbani and now led by his son David, Elite Kitchen & Bath designs your kitchen in-house and Express Contracting builds it, with one point of contact from first sketch to final walkthrough.
Elite Kitchen & Bath has offered luxury kitchen remodeling in Manhasset and across Long Island's North Shore since 1984. It is a design-build firm and a licensed, insured general contractor, so design, engineering, permits, construction and installation all run through one team and one point of contact.
That team is still a family. Yeheskel Sharbani, an electrical engineer, started the company.
His son David grew up on its job sites and now leads it as president. Most work comes from referrals and repeat clients, and the owners stay involved in every project, from a new quartz countertop to a full gut kitchen.
Space planning, custom or semi-custom cabinetry, stone counters, appliance integration and lighting design, then construction by the same team. Popular requests include large entertaining islands, walk-in pantries, coffee and beverage stations and smart home features. The firm also designs Kosher kitchens and chef-style cooking spaces.
Spa-style primary baths with curbless and steam showers, large-format tile, skylights and wall-hung Italian vanities. Elite handles the plumbing, tile and glass as well as the design, and several of its Great Neck master baths were full extensions of the home rather than simple updates.
American and European cabinetry, including RUTT and Italian lines, plus appliances and finishes from partner manufacturers. Cabinet choices range from semi-custom to fully custom and imported luxury. Built-in wall units, hutches and bars are designed to the inch, and Elite won a Cesar Italian Cabinetry award for outstanding design.
Full-home remodels, Manhattan co-op apartments, extensions and interior and exterior work, all managed from the Manhasset office. Elite coordinates filing, zoning and permits in-house. Clients have stayed in their apartments during major remodels while the crew kept the work area neat.
The firm has been family owned for over 40 years and lists owner involvement on every project. Reviewers mention Dave Sharbani and designer Robin Dasilva by name.
Elite has won 9 NARI Contractor of the Year awards since 2014, PRO Platinum and Gold awards in New York, and David Sharbani was the 2024 Kitchen & Bath Design News Innovator of the Year.
The site posts real ranges for Long Island kitchens, from $35,000 for a cosmetic update to $300,000 and up for estate-level work, so you can plan before the first meeting.
One Google reviewer had only a quartz countertop and subway tile backsplash installed and called the work exceptional. The owners replied that they treat all jobs, large and small, with care.
Yeheskel Sharbani worked as an electrical engineer in a nuclear power plant before founding the company in 1984. His rule was to do it right the first time.
His son, David Sharbani, started working for him as a teenager, has spent over 38 years in design and remodeling, and is now president. David's mother, born in France, gave him his love of fine design.
Today David's team starts each kitchen by asking how you use the room now and how you want to use it. The team speaks English, Hebrew, Chinese, French and Polish.

A complimentary meeting about your goals, how you cook and entertain, your style and your investment range. Bring inspiration photos and rough measurements.
Your designer measures, then develops layouts, cabinet plans and finish choices. Appliances are chosen early because their sizes shape the cabinetry.
You review cabinetry, counters, fixtures and hardware in the Manhasset showroom. A design retainer is often applied toward your cabinet purchase.
Once drawings are approved, cabinets are ordered with a deposit and Express Contracting handles permits, construction and installation with one point of contact.
Before completion the team walks the project with you to confirm every element meets its standards and your expectations.
I LOVE my kitchen ! Remodeling is not for the faint of heart. But with the guidance of Elite Kitchen designer, Robin Dasilva, I was patiently assisted every step of the way through the process.
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.
