A family with deep roots in San Diego embarked on a comprehensive remodel in the hills of Del Cerro, a high-end, established community of industry professionals. This project perfectly illustrates the enduring relationships and stellar reputation that Holland’s Custom Cabinets has built over decades of local craftsmanship. To elevate and customize this home, Holland’s took on the role of general contractor, providing comprehensive project oversight from start to finish, and brought the family’s vision to life with precision and expertise.
Relationships Built on Longevity & Trust
When a homeowner lacks a general contractor or a designer, Holland’s Custom Cabinets steps in, uniquely positioned to guide the homeowner through ambitious projects to stunning results.
As Holland’s Director of Sales and Marketing, Randy Schreibman, remarks, “We’re not just building cabinets; we’re providing a complete solution. Our homeowners rely on us to guide them through the entire process, and we have the experience to do it.”
For this remodel, the second phase in a multi-project relationship with the family, Holland’s managed all aspects, including the granite countertops, appliances, electrical, lighting, and flooring. Bob Holland, Holland’s Founder and Vice President, spoke on his team’s ability to provide this seamless support. “Having been in this industry for so long,” Holland says, “we know that the best results come from a hands-on approach, from initial concept to the final touches.”
This type of ongoing relationship with homeowners is common for Holland’s, where a commitment to quality work often leads to repeat business across generations.

The Beauty of Del Cerro Home Transitional Walnut Custom Cabinets
The kitchen, the focal point of the home, features beautiful Del Cerro home transitional walnut custom cabinets. “The homeowners wanted the best of everything,” Schreibman says. “We love partnering with clients who feel passionately about their space and have a vision for what they want. Our team works hard to ensure that the aesthetics as well as the fit and function exceed their expectations.” This kitchen features innovative storage solutions, including large rollouts in the pantry and cabinets, which maximize space and create ease of use. “The homeowners were really pleased with that customization,” Schreibman adds.
The cabinets extend from the kitchen into the living room, creating a smooth visual flow. Above the couch, Holland’s cut into the wall and crafted a custom-built-in display case that provides a stunning architectural touch to the room. “This neighborhood has a unique pulse to it. A lot of the homes are more traditional, so clients look for an updated, elevated feel through customization. It’s all about finding ways to integrate their style into the existing footprint,” Schreibman notes.
Walnut Cabinetry Benefits & Characteristics
The beautiful walnut provides a strong visual anchor between the open kitchen and living room. Raised panels on the back and sides of the kitchen island create a finished, high-end look. This style of transitional walnut cabinetry is highly sought after for its timeless appeal. With rich, warm tones and a beautiful grain, walnut brings a touch of sophistication to any space. “Selecting the right materials is crucial,” Schreibman says. “The cabinets need to do more than fulfill an aesthetic vision; they need to solve the functional needs of the space.” Holland’s team provides expert guidance in selecting the right cabinets, ensuring every single detail of the remodel helps to elevate the space.

The Art of Project Navigation
From the Del Cerro home’s walnut transitional custom cabinets to the lighting and granite, the Holland’s team managed the project with a high level of care. This white-glove approach included handling a unique light fixture and a rare, costly piece of natural stone for the kitchen island. For Holland’s, the ability to work with such luxury materials is about more than just skill; it is about forecasting potential problems and having a clear plan in place. “We see ourselves as more than just a cabinet shop,” Schreibman says. “We’re project navigators. When you have a client investing in a one-of-a-kind slab of quartzite, it’s our job to foresee every possible challenge and have a plan in place. That’s the difference between a good job and a truly exceptional one.” The result is a space where every element, from the angled vent hood to the light fixtures and the Del Cerro home transitional walnut custom cabinets, works in perfect harmony.

Partnering to Elevate Your San Diego Home
Working with this family was particularly rewarding for Holland’s. As a notable San Diego family, their commitment to the city aligns perfectly with Holland’s local legacy. This project is a beautiful example of how custom cabinetry can elevate a home and how a professional team can manage a complex project with a reliable, personalized approach. “It’s a feel-good story to work with families who share our love for the city and who have deep roots in San Diego,” Schreibman remarks. The finished result is a testament to the deep-seated relationships and commitment to quality that Holland’s brings to every job.
