In the coastal communities of North County San Diego, a home often needs to evolve alongside the family living inside it. For many homeowners, a successful project is the ability to evolve their space—such as transforming a guest bedroom into an ADU (accessory dwelling unit)—without losing the cohesive feel of the original design. This transition requires a partnership built on transparency and a shared commitment to maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship over time.
Holland’s Custom Cabinets serves as a dedicated partner to both homeowners and builders by ensuring new additions integrate flawlessly within existing work. Holland’s collaboration with WNC General Contractors on this contemporary, minimalist remodel and expansion illustrates the value of a professional relationship built on trust and proactive care.

Transparency & Partnership in the Encinitas Community
The strength of a professional relationship is most evident when a team returns to a past project to help it grow. Six years after completing the original build for an Encinitas family, Holland’s reunited with WNC General Contractors to convert a portion of the three-story residence into a micro ADU.
During the planning phase for the new suite, a unique opportunity for transparency and support arose when a third-party material from the original build was not aging as expected. While this was an isolated issue with the raw material itself and not a manufacturing error, Holland’s viewed it as an opportunity to demonstrate its steadfast commitment to client satisfaction. “Our priority was correcting the issue and returning the product to its original quality and vision, regardless of how it transpired,” says Randy Schreibman, Holland’s Director of Sales and Marketing.
Strengthening Trust: The Right Thing To Do
Holland’s and WNC General Contractors prioritized the homeowner’s peace of mind by resolving the material issue behind the scenes. This allowed the family to stay focused and excited about their new expansion while Holland’s team handled the following:
- Cabinetry Refresh: Holland’s removed every door and drawer throughout the home to refresh them, returning kitchen, bathroom, and storage cabinetry to their original quality.
- Vendor Advocacy: The team directly contacted third-party product representatives to resolve the raw material issue, ensuring the process did not burden the client.
- Proactive Care: By treating the restoration as a standard of service rather than an obligation, Holland’s reinforced the trust the family—and WNC General Contractors—had placed in them years earlier.
Minimalist Encinitas Remodel and ADU Expansion
The design of this residence relies on ultra-high-gloss white cabinetry to reflect natural light from every angle. This aesthetic is defined by its clean lines, stainless steel appliances, and handle-less upper cabinets, creating a seamless, minimalist look and contemporary flow. Book-matched stone backsplash provides a visually striking focal point. The team expanded the home’s utility with several tailored solutions:
- Micro-ADU Conversion: A standard closet was expertly repurposed into a compact, fully functional kitchen for the new ADU.
- Integrated Laundry: Holland’s retrofitted a bathroom to include a streamlined laundry center, maximizing the efficiency of the residence’s floor plan.
- Aesthetic Unity: The team took great care in refinishing the previous woodwork and installing the new cabinetry, ensuring a seamless visual flow throughout the entire home.
Partnering With WNC General Contractors
For WNC General Contractors and Holland’s, this successful remodel, including a cabinetry refinish and ADU expansion, confirmed the value of a collaborative partnership that puts the client first. Because the WNC team operates in the same North County region where they live, the partners they choose must reflect their local reputation.
“It shows a lot when you make it right, no questions asked,” Schreibman adds. “It was important for us to leave the entire home in the same quality it was the day we first finished it. This is a standard that WNC General Contractors and Holland’s share passionately.”
