Bonita Springs Elite Cabinets builds custom cabinets for Ave Maria homeowners, from villas to single-family houses. The community is about 36 miles northeast of downtown Naples, and we travel there regularly.

About Ave Maria

Ave Maria is a planned community in Collier County. It began in 2005, and a Stewardship Community District serves as its government. The 2020 census counted 6,242 residents with a median age of 35.6, and 2,227 housing units, 15.6% vacant.

The community covers about 5,000 acres after a 1,000-acre expansion approved in June 2023. Ave Maria University and a parish church anchor the town center. Homes include condominiums, attached villas and single-family houses. Most were built after 2005, so many households start with standard cabinets.

Upgrades for busy households

Kitchens

Standard cabinets improve with deeper drawers, pull-out trays and better hardware. A larger pantry also helps with bulk shopping. See custom kitchen cabinets.

Mudrooms

A bench with hooks and cubbies keeps backpacks off the counter. Each family member gets a spot. See mudroom cabinets.

Laundry rooms

Cabinets above the machines and a folding counter keep laundry day under control. See laundry room cabinets.

Home offices

Many households work from home. A built-in desk with file drawers hides paperwork. See home office cabinets.

Materials for newer homes

Ave Maria sits inland, but humidity still affects boxes and finishes. Plywood resists moisture better than particleboard. Durable finishes handle the wear of children and pets. In garages and laundry rooms, choose surfaces that wipe clean. Our materials guide explains the trade-offs.

District and association rules

Ave Maria runs through a Stewardship Community District, and many neighborhoods also have associations. Rules on access, delivery and work hours vary. Ask what applies, then share the details with us.

We handle the rest: consultation, design, building and installation.

Planning for a growing household

Family needs change quickly. A toddler becomes a teen, and a spare room becomes an office. Design flexible storage that can adjust. Adjustable shelves, modular drawers and neutral finishes age well.

Coordinating with builder warranties

Newer homes may still be under builder warranty. Check what changes could affect coverage before you alter walls, plumbing or electrical. Cabinets alone usually do not, but confirm the terms.

Garage storage for active families

Bikes, balls, pool toys and holiday boxes crowd a garage fast. Tall cabinets along one wall keep those items off the floor. Reserve a bench or counter for projects. Choose finishes that wipe clean after muddy days.

Pantry planning for bulk shoppers

Big shopping trips need big, organized storage. Deep pull-out shelves bring items forward. A cabinet for small appliances clears the counter. Group items by meal or use to make unloading groceries quick.

Matching cabinets to the community look

Ave Maria has a distinct architectural style. Choose door profiles and colors that complement it. Warm neutrals and simple lines suit many homes, and they age gracefully.

Sizing storage for a young household

Young families grow fast. Choose drawers over doors for kitchen bases, and add adjustable shelves in pantries. Build in room for a high chair, a bottle drying rack and a stack of lunch boxes.

Clear communication with neighbors

Shared walls and tight streets make courtesy important. Let neighbors know when deliveries arrive and when work will be loud. A friendly note goes a long way in a close-knit community.

Neighboring communities

We also work in Golden Gate, Lely and Gateway.

Ave Maria cabinet questions

Do you serve Ave Maria even though it is far from Bonita Springs?

Yes. The community is about 36 miles northeast of downtown Naples. Tell us early so we can plan delivery and install day.

Can I upgrade standard builder cabinets?

We can replace them, or refresh them if the boxes are sound. A consultation tells you which fits.

Do I need approval for cabinet work?

Interior work often needs less approval than exterior changes, but rules vary. Ask your association or district.

Can you build a home office in a spare room?

Yes. Built-in desks, shelves and file drawers fit a spare room. See home office cabinets.

What storage helps a busy family?

A mudroom bench, laundry cabinets and garage storage near the entry keep clutter out of main rooms.
