About us.

At Elite Design, we take immense pride in blessing the homes of Rhode Island with stunning, modern kitchens, bathrooms, and home additions. Founded by Paul H., our company was born from a deep-rooted passion for transforming spaces and improving the quality of life for our clients—especially those in need of accessible, comfortable, and beautiful living environments.

Paul’s journey into the world of remodeling began at a young age, inspired by his grandfather, a skilled landscaper who instilled in him a strong work ethic and a love for improving homes. However, it wasn’t until Paul witnessed his grandfather’s struggles with aging and mobility that his perspective on construction shifted. This experience sparked his mission to create innovative, handicap-friendly designs, specifically 1st-floor addition suites, to help those who face physical challenges remain in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by the people they love.

With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Paul’s dedication to finding and solving his clients’ most pressing remodeling problems became his driving force. He embarked on an extensive journey that took him to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, where he gained unparalleled expertise, managing over 25 full-service kitchen and bathroom remodels. There, Paul honed his craft, modernizing outdated spaces with contemporary flair and functionality. His experiences have shaped him into a true expert in the art of kitchen and bathroom design—always at the forefront of new trends, technology, and innovation.

Paul’s journey has now brought him full circle back to his hometown of Rhode Island. He is eager to share the wisdom, knowledge, and insights he has gained over the years with his community, always keeping his clients’ best interests at heart. His dedication to making remodeling projects seamless and stress-free is unwavering, and his deep understanding of the challenges homeowners face has propelled Elite Design to become a trusted name in the region.

When Paul isn’t transforming kitchens and bathrooms, he enjoys sipping a large Sunset Refresher with lemonade from Dunkin’ and taking long walks in the rain—both simple pleasures that help him unwind and stay connected to his roots.

We specialize in custom, modern designs that not only reflect your personal taste but also solve everyday challenges. Our team, led by Paul H., is committed to providing the highest level of craftsmanship, care, and attention to detail, ensuring that every project we take on leaves a lasting impact on the lives of our clients.
