General Info:
Holcomb Cabinetry is a Better Business Bureau (BBB) accredited kitchen supply company that specifically focuses on the design and supplying of cabinetry, countertops and related kitchen & bathroom products. Located at 2505 Philadelphia Pike (the old Claymont Ace Hardware store), Holcomb is looking to use their 30 years of experience in the kitchen & bathroom remodeling, real estate and cabinet industries to have a major impact on the local community and surrounding areas. The new emphasis is to expand their cabinet and product lines to reach all quality and price points from the smallest home project to the most expansive renovation overhaul venture one can imagine. And there is no doubt that Holcomb has been involved in both. By sticking to what they do best, Holcomb has created a natural situation of partnering with the local contractors, builders and do it yourselfers for the installation and execution of their products and plans.
Don Holcomb is the sole owner of Holcomb Cabinetry. Although he was born and raised in Delaware, he started the company, in 1976, as a siding and roofing company in Colorado. When he moved back to Delaware to start his family in 1982, he initially worked for Cherry Kitchens. A year later he incorporated his own business and began building approx. 100 homes per year for the larger builders in Delaware, performing all the rough framing, decks, interior trim and cabinetry for their projects. In that same timeframe, he completely built 5-6 custom homes. He employed between 30-35 people until 1990 when he decided to specifically focus on kitchens. In 1990, Don opened up Holcomb Kitchens a full service installation company averaging 35-40 custom kitchens per year. The company installed all cabinetry, countertops, floorings, drywall, trims, tile, hardwood flooring and handled any wall removal and/or structural changes including the installation of structural steel beams when necessary. In 2012, Don changed his business model again as well as the name of the company to Holcomb Cabinetry. The new emphasis would be focusing on designing and providing cabinetry and related products kitchen and bath products to homeowners, contractors and builders.
