CGI Construction in Lexington Hills, CA | San Bruno Construction
We provide independent CGI cabinetry and countertop service across Lexington Hills, from full kitchen remodels to cabinet refacing and quartz replacement. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different is that we sequence every project around Cal Fire’s wildland-urban interface (WUI) clearance, which is the real permit gatekeeper in this unincorporated Santa Cruz Mountains community. Led by Noel Carvalho, San Bruno Construction has installed and serviced CGI products in mountain cabins and ranch homes throughout the 95031 ZIP for years. We’re not a CGI dealer or authorized rep, just a local general contractor who knows these lines well. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate.
Why Lexington Hills Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI cabinetry behaves differently in a mountain home than it does in a valley tract house. Thermal and moisture cycling, unheated spaces, and settling on sloped lots all stress frameless cabinet boxes, doors, hinges, and countertop seams in ways a suburban installer never sees. Our crew has worked on enough Lexington Hills properties to know exactly where these failures show up, and we quote repairs honestly rather than defaulting to replacement. When a box is still square and solid, we reface it. When it’s delaminated or water-damaged, we say so plainly.
Noel grew up off El Camino Real in San Bruno and trained in construction technology at Skyline College, where he learned to read plans and understand load paths before ever swinging a hammer. That training matters when you’re resetting CGI cabinet boxes on a sloped Lexington Hills lot where the subfloor has moved a half-inch over thirty years. We coordinate every trade, pull permits, and handle the fire-clearance sequencing so you don’t have to manage three different vendors and a county inspector on your own. We also work with 50+ vetted brands across every renovation category, which means your CGI cabinets can be paired with counters, fixtures, and finishes that actually complement each other instead of whatever a single-line dealer happens to stock.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Lexington Hills
- Edgebanding delamination on frameless boxes. Unheated mountain cabins swing from dry fire-season heat to damp winter storms. That cycling causes the glue on CGI Euro-style frameless cabinet boxes to fail along the edgebanding. We strip, re-bond, and refinish rather than tearing out a box that’s otherwise solid.
- Warped doors pulling away from hinge plates. CGI full-overlay doors are precise, but when winter humidity follows weeks of dry heat, wood and MDF cores move. We see doors in Lexington Hills kitchens that have warped enough to bind or hang crooked off the soft-close hinge plates.
- Crazed and cracked painted Shaker doors. CGI painted Shaker profiles crack along the stile-and-rail joints when repeated humidity swings stress the finish. On shaded Lexington Hills lots where a cabin never fully dries out, this shows up within a few years.
- Chipped quartz seams at sink cutouts. Older cabinetry on sloped lots settles, and when the base under a CGI quartz top shifts, the stone takes the stress at its weakest points: sink cutouts and dishwasher openings. We reinforce the subtop and re-set the seam before replacing a slab that doesn’t actually need to go.
- Soft-close hardware that lost its dampening. Earlier CGI drawer glides and hinges use dampers that wear out, especially under heavy daily use in a mountain kitchen where deferred maintenance left the boxes out of square. We replace glides and hinges with genuine OEM CGI parts whenever they’re available.
CGI Service in Lexington Hills: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Lexington Hills is unincorporated Santa Cruz County, and nearly every construction project here has to clear Cal Fire’s wildland-urban interface review before a permit will issue. That fire-safe clearance inspection, not the building department, is frequently the real gatekeeper. Chapter 7A ignition-resistant building requirements govern decks and roof assemblies along with defensible-space review. What does that mean for a CGI kitchen or bath project? Any work that touches exterior walls, vents, or roof penetrations has to be sequenced around the fire-clearance sign-off before cabinets or counters ever get set. You can’t just schedule a countertop template and expect the inspector to show up next week. On a wooded sloped lot off the Lexington Hills back roads, our crew took on a ranch-style cabin where the original CGI frameless cabinets had delaminated along the edgebanding and the Shaker doors had warped off their hinges after years of dry summers and wet winters. We refaced the sound boxes with OEM-matched CGI fronts, replaced the soft-close glides and hinges, and set a new CGI quartz top with reinforced sink cutouts, but only after the county fire-safe clearance on the adjacent deck and roof vents was signed off. The WUI review gated the whole permit, and if we’d set cabinets first, we’d have been ripping them back out.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Lexington Hills
We work on CGI Euro-style frameless cabinetry with full-overlay doors and soft-close hardware, CGI Shaker-profile painted and stained cabinet lines, CGI quartz and granite countertop programs, and CGI vanity and bath cabinetry. For repairs we use genuine OEM CGI hinges, glides, and matched door and drawer fronts for color and profile consistency. Quality aftermarket hardware only comes in when OEM is discontinued and the original spec is no longer available. On older CGI boxes that are still square and solid, we recommend refacing and hardware replacement over a full tear-out. When frames are delaminated or water-damaged, replacement is the honest call. We keep common CGI hardware and touch-up materials on hand for faster Lexington Hills turnaround, and anything we don’t stock we can source quickly through our supplier network.

AfterCGI Service Pricing in Lexington Hills
Costs depend on the scope: a single cabinet reface is very different from a full kitchen with new CGI counters. Here’s what we typically see in the Lexington Hills market:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Full Kitchen Remodeling | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 – $13,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000 – $6,500 |
| Backsplash Installation | $800 – $2,500 |
| Kitchen Island Installation | $3,000 – $10,000 |
What drives the number up: fire-clearance sequencing delays, steep-lot access that makes material delivery slower, and any structural correction needed before cabinets go in. What keeps it down: refacing instead of replacing, and doing countertops and cabinets as one scope instead of two. A free estimate includes a site walk, measurements, and a written line-item quote so you know what you’re paying for before anything gets ordered. Call (866) 472-1908 to schedule yours.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Lexington Hills
No. San Bruno Construction is an independent service provider, not authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by CGI. We install and service CGI products because they’re a solid mid-range line that suits many Lexington Hills remodels, and because we know their failure points well enough to quote repairs honestly.
We use genuine OEM CGI hinges, glides, and matched door and drawer fronts whenever they’re available. Aftermarket hardware only comes in when OEM is discontinued or the original spec can’t be matched. On refaces, we match the existing CGI color and profile so the new fronts don’t look like a patch job.
Most refacing and countertop jobs run one to three weeks from template to final set, assuming the fire-clearance and permit side is already moving. A full kitchen with CGI cabinets, counters, and backsplash typically runs four to eight weeks. Lexington Hills WUI review can add time to any project that touches exterior walls, vents, or roof penetrations, so we sequence that sign-off early to keep the job moving. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific scope.
We work on CGI Euro-style frameless cabinetry, CGI Shaker-profile painted and stained lines, CGI quartz and granite countertops, and CGI vanity and bath cabinetry. If you’re not sure what line you have, send us a photo of the hinge and door profile and we can usually identify it.
We coordinate it, but we don’t pretend to be a fire-safety consultant. The county requires defensible-space review and erosion-control measures on Lexington Hills remodels, especially on sloped lots. We bring in the right specialists, get the sign-offs, and sequence the construction around them so your CGI cabinets and counters go in once and stay in. For an exact quote on your project, call (866) 472-1908. Estimates are free.
