The commercial construction business in San Diego runs on two non-negotiable standards: on-time delivery and budgetary control. For commercial contractors and organizations, supply chain volatility—import tariffs, shipping delays, labor disputes—is a threat to the bottom line of projects and, by extension, client relationships.
The model at Holland’s Custom Cabinets is built entirely on control: domestically sourced, locally made, and locally installed. This level of end-to-end woodworking ownership in El Cajon is the only way to guarantee stable pricing and delivery.

Zero Risk: Total Control for Guaranteed Pricing
Don’t allow uncertainty to control your business. Holland’s supply chain model shields the project from outside market forces by combining operational ownership and institutional stability.
- Stability: The entire process is managed in-house at Holland’s El Cajon facility. Work happens locally, eliminating delays caused by shipping, port bottlenecks, and complex logistics.
- Price and Material Certainty: The company’s long-standing operation since 1977 and its second-generation leadership have both the institutional knowledge and relationships to protect customers and partners.
“Local manufacturing means Holland’s guarantees quality and pricing, and controls the delivery timeline. That security is our commitment to our partners,” says Holland’s Commercial Estimator, Ray Anderson.
Tariff Mitigation and Eliminating Other External Threats
Control over manufacturing eliminates major external factors that commonly derail commercial projects:
- Tariff Mitigation: Tariffs on raw materials and completed cabinetry incur significant taxes and disrupt set budgets. Cabinetry manufactured domestically in the U.S.A. is not subject to these import taxes, providing a decisive cost advantage that protects your bid.
- Labor Disputes and Material Shortages: The system is not dependent on a single material supplier and instead relies on long-standing relationships. This is key to weathering unexpected material shortages and labor disputes.
- Geopolitical and Weather Events: By avoiding reliance on international shipping and logistics, including cross-border transit, Holland’s projects are shielded from a myriad of external factors that can affect delivery timelines.
Woodworking Supply Chain Stability
A construction firm shouldn’t have to worry about a vendor’s supply issues exposing it to unexpected costs. Holland’s local control system ensures efficiency and cost predictability.
“The goal is to be the one vendor the contractor never has to worry about,” says Jed Richard, Holland’s President & CEO. “Not on quality, install, delivery, or budget. This allows the construction team to focus on overall build integrity and know that we have their back on quality, custom cabinetry. That consistency and support are the foundation of all of our long-term contractor relationships.”
Part of building and nurturing these relationships is Holland’s open shop policy. Contractors and their clients are invited to walk through not only the showroom but also the El Cajon workshop’s production floor. They can see the in-house team in action and the organized setup, confirming the quality of materials, craftsmanship, and project efficiency firsthand.
Credentials and Accountability
Holland’s is a licensed, bonded, and insured specialty vendor that holds Woodwork Institute certification. This level of industry credibility ensures the quality, accountability, and trust necessary for successful partnership on large commercial projects.
Woodworking supply chain stability is a key value that Holland’s brings to every commercial job. As the industry faces an influx of challenges in the final quarter of 2025 and into 2026, including tariffs on raw wood materials and completed cabinetry, Holland’s local control model is the definitive solution for a successful project, with guaranteed prices and timelines for custom, commercial cabinetry.
