Why is custom cabinets different in Central San Diego?
Older San Diego, Hillcrest, and North Park homes frequently have soffits, low ceilings, and out-of-plumb walls that stock cabinets cannot handle. We design custom cabinets around the existing conditions, raise the uppers to the ceiling line to kill the soffit, and add a matching built-in pantry wall. The result is a kitchen that looks like the room was always meant to be open and full-height.
