CGI Construction in Pacifica, CA | San Bruno Construction
We provide independent CGI construction service across Pacifica, from cabinet installs and refacing to quartz and granite countertop work. We’re not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, and we don’t pretend to be. What sets our CGI work apart here is simple: we know which side of Highway 1 your house sits on, and we spec every cabinet box, hinge, and drawer glide differently based on that fog-belt split. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate from San Bruno Construction.
Why Pacifica Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Most contractors in Pacifica treat CGI cabinets like any other box they screw to a wall. We don’t, because we’ve spent years working these runs into mid-century stucco-and-wood-frame homes where the marine layer never really leaves. Noel Carvalho, our owner, trained in construction technology at Skyline College in our CGI service in San Bruno, where he learned to read plans and think through load paths before a single tool comes out of the truck. That same habit carries into every CGI install we do in Pacifica: we check the wall before we hang the cabinet, and we check which way the fog blows before we pick the hardware. We source genuine CGI replacement doors, glides, and hinges where they’re still available, and switch to quality aftermarket soft-close hardware only when the OEM line is discontinued. You get a straight answer on repair versus replace, not a sales pitch.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Pacifica
- Rusted or seized drawer glides and door hinges. Ocean-facing kitchen runs on the west side of Highway 1 in Pacifica stay damp year-round from salt-laden fog. The factory glides on CGI cabinetry can seize within a decade out there. We replace them with sealed aftermarket soft-close hardware and re-align the drawer faces so they ride clean again.
- Swollen or delaminating cabinet boxes at the toe kick and sink base. Older Pacifica kitchens with original mid-century framing often trap winter moisture at the floor line. Particleboard and MDF-core CGI boxes absorb that damp and start to puff. We cut out the failed sections and rebuild with sealed plywood-core boxes where the layout allows it, or reface the full run when the swelling is too far gone.
- Factory finish blistering or peeling on south- and west-facing uppers. The marine layer hits these elevations hardest in Pacifica. When the finish on CGI shaker doors starts lifting, we strip, prime, and refinish if the wood is sound. If the fiberboard core has soaked through, we order genuine CGI replacement doors for a clean color and grain match.
- Quartz and granite seams opening on hillside lots. Pacifica’s clay-heavy hillside soil moves with heavy winter rain. Mid-century floors and walls shift just enough to open seams between CGI countertop slabs and the backsplash line. We pull the slab, re-level the substrate, and re-seat the seam so moisture can’t wick behind it.
- Frameless vanity and bath cabinetry failing in small coastal bathrooms. Pacifica’s older coastal cottages often have tight baths with no exhaust fan. CGI frameless vanities in those rooms get soft at the base. We swap in marine-grade substrates where possible and seal every exposed edge before the new cabinet goes in.
CGI Service in Pacifica: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the checkable Pacifica fact nobody else writes about: houses on the west side of Highway 1 sit in the fog belt, and houses a few blocks inland on the east side don’t. That split changes everything about how CGI cabinetry holds up. A shaker run on an ocean-facing wall in the Linda Mar or Pedro Point area will need hardware or box work in half the time of an identical run over in Fairmont, where the fog burns off earlier and the air moves differently. We’ve pulled CGI cabinet runs from west-side kitchens where the glides were rusted shut and the toe kicks had swollen, while the same model cabinets on the inland-facing wall were still square and dry. So we spec and seal differently depending on which side of the highway your house sits on. That’s not a marketing line. It’s a construction decision we make on every CGI job in Pacifica. On a split-level stucco home off Linda Mar, we pulled a fog-soaked CGI shaker run where the sink-base toe kick had swelled and the glides were rusted shut, then reset the layout with sealed plywood-core boxes, new soft-close aftermarket glides, and a fresh quartz top tied into the existing backsplash line. The homeowner got a full small-kitchen refresh without touching the sound frames on the inland-facing wall.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Pacifica
We work across the CGI lineup that shows up most often in Pacifica homes: the Ready-to-Assemble all-wood shaker cabinets, the Euro-style full-overlay line with soft-close hardware, CGI quartz and granite countertop surfaces, and the frameless vanity and bath cabinetry. When a door, glide, or hinge fails, we check OEM availability first, because a genuine CGI replacement matches color and fit better than anything aftermarket. When the OEM line is discontinued, we move to quality aftermarket soft-close hardware that holds up against Pacifica’s salt air. No mystery parts. No “it’s close enough” matching. For broader CGI sales & service, we’re your local crew that actually stocks what Pacifica jobs need most.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Pacifica
No. San Bruno Construction is an independent Colma CGI service provider. We install, retrofit, and repair CGI products without any manufacturer authorization, partnership, or warranty endorsement. We source genuine CGI parts where available and use quality aftermarket hardware when the OEM line is discontinued.
A small kitchen remodel in Pacifica typically runs $9,000 to $20,000, depending on whether you’re refacing existing boxes or replacing them. Cabinet installation alone is $4,000 to $13,000, and countertops run $2,000 to $6,500. Call (866) 472-1908 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Most single-run cabinet repairs or refacing jobs finish in two to four working days once materials are on site. Full small kitchen remodels with countertops typically run two to three weeks, depending on permit needs and whether we’re working around Pacifica’s coastal development review on exterior changes.
We try genuine first. If CGI still makes the door, glide, or hinge your run needs, we order it. When the OEM line is discontinued, we switch to sealed aftermarket soft-close hardware that handles Pacifica’s salt air better than the originals in most cases.
We work on CGI Ready-to-Assemble all-wood shaker cabinets, Euro-style full-overlay lines, CGI quartz and granite countertops, and frameless vanity and bath cabinetry. If you have a different CGI line in your Pacifica home, call us and we’ll tell you straight what’s serviceable.
Service Areas Near Pacifica
Our Pacifica service area covers the full 94044 zip code, but we regularly run CGI jobs into the neighboring communities. CGI service in Broadmoor keeps us on the inland side of the fog line often, where cabinet boxes last longer and the work is more about layout than moisture repair. CGI service in Daly City has us handling similar mid-century stock, usually with heavier fog exposure on the west-facing slopes. We also work Colma, South San Francisco, and San Bruno for homeowners who want the same fog-belt-aware CGI approach without crossing a county line.
