CGI Construction in Lompico, CA | San Bruno Construction
We provide independent CGI cabinet, countertop, and surface installation and repair across Lompico, CA. The thing that separates our CGI work here from anywhere else in Santa Cruz County is simple: we plan around your road and your foundation before we ever unload a single box. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate on any CGI project in Lompico.
We’ve spent years specifying and correcting CGI cabinetry, countertops, and surface products in Santa Cruz Mountains homes, and we quote the honest fix rather than the manufacturer line. That’s what Lompico General Contractor work with CGI actually demands. From a shaker cabinet that’s swollen shut to a quartz countertop seam that’s opened up on a shifting pier-and-post foundation, we know how these products behave under real roof loads and real moisture. We serve the 95005 ZIP code and every steep side road in it. And while we’re independent, not authorized by CGI, our parts sourcing and install methods are built around what actually lasts here.
Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI cabinets and counters are the easy part. It’s the Lompico site conditions that make or break the job. Noel Carvalho, our owner, grew up in San Bruno and trained in construction technology at Skyline College, where he learned to read plans and understand load paths before a tool ever comes out of the truck. That training shows up on every CGI install we do in Lompico. We shim what needs shimming, stage materials where the road forces us to, and we don’t pretend a loaded truck will make it up a drive it won’t.
We carry OEM CGI door and drawer fronts when the boxes are sound, and we use quality aftermarket hinges and slides on older boxes where CGI’s own parts are discontinued. That’s the difference between a repair that matches and one that looks like a patch. For Lompico homeowners, that matters. You don’t want mismatched shaker fronts on a kitchen that faces the road, and you don’t want hinges that sag six months after the first wet winter.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Swollen and delaminating shaker doors at the bottom rail. Lompico’s winter rain drives humidity into older cabins with no vapor control, and CGI shaker doors absorb it right at the joint. The bottom rail swells, the finish lifts, and the door stops closing flush. We replace the doors and seal the install so it doesn’t come back next winter.
- Musty cabinet box interiors and loosening hinges on exterior walls. Cabinets mounted against uninsulated exterior walls on sloped lots go through seasonal wood movement. The box interior gets musty, and the hinge screws lose their bite. We correct the spacing, add blocking where the framing allows, and remount the doors so they stay square.
- Opened-up countertop seams and cracked backsplash silicone. Owner-built Lompico cabins often sit on pier-and-post foundations that shift seasonally. When the house moves, CGI quartz countertop seams separate and backsplash silicone tears. We pull the affected sections, re-level the substrate, and re-set the tops so the seam line stays closed.
- Chalked and cracked factory finish on south-facing walls. Summer sun through single-pane glass before wildfire season bakes CGI cabinet faces on the sun side of a Lompico home. The finish chalks, then cracks. We strip and refinish or replace the affected faces with matched CGI pieces and recommend glass or film if the exposure is severe.
- Out-of-square cabinet runs on framed walls that have moved. Decades of seasonal movement in redwood-era Lompico homes leave walls that aren’t square. A CGI cabinet install that ignores the wall ends up with doors that bind and drawer fronts that glance. We float and shim the run level, then adjust every door and drawer so they close flush.
CGI Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Lompico’s steep private roads are often too narrow or too soft for a loaded material truck, and that single fact changes how every CGI cabinet and countertop delivery has to be handled here. A standard 48-foot flatbed that works fine in Scotts Valley or CGI repair in Felton won’t make the turn up many Lompico drives, and a loaded box truck will sink a soft shoulder before it reaches the house. So we stage at the bottom of the drive, break the shipment down, and shuttle it up in loads a pickup can handle. That’s not a convenience decision. It’s the only way a quartz top arrives without a cracked edge or a cabinet run that’s sat in mist long enough to swell. On a sloped lot off Lompico Road, our crew remodeled a redwood-era cabin kitchen where the CGI shaker doors had swollen and delaminated along their bottom rails from years of winter humidity. We staged the new cabinet run and quartz tops at the bottom of the drive and shuttled them up in truckloads, then replaced the boxes with a sealed, properly spaced CGI install and floated a level countertop over the out-of-square wall. The homeowner got drawers that close flush and a backsplash line that finally reads straight. Good construction doesn’t announce itself – it just works, year after year.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Lompico
Our CGI work covers the lines most common in Santa Cruz Mountains homes: CGI Ready-to-Assemble kitchen and bath cabinetry, pre-finished shaker and slab cabinet doors, quartz and granite countertop programs, and specialty surface and backsplash panels. When a cabinet box is structurally sound, we order OEM CGI doors, drawer boxes, and matched panels so the finish and dimension match exactly. When the box is swollen or the layout doesn’t work, we say so and price replacement instead of reskinning something that’s failing. We keep a working stock of common CGI door sizes, hinges, and slides accessible for Lompico jobs, which gets your repair moving without waiting on a slow manufacturer batch.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Lompico
Often not. Lompico’s private roads and drives are frequently too narrow or too soft for a loaded box truck, so we routinely stage materials at the bottom and shuttle loads up. Tell us your drive conditions when you call and we’ll plan the staging point from the first visit.
If the box is sound, we replace the doors with OEM CGI fronts and seal the install so winter humidity stops getting to the bottom rail. If the box itself has swollen or the frame has shifted, replacement of the run is usually cheaper over the long term than reskinning a failing cabinet. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll come look before recommending either path.
The tops themselves hold up, but the seams and silicone often don’t when the house moves seasonally. We re-level the substrate and re-set tops so the seam stays closed. If your foundation has significant movement, we’ll tell you that before we install anything that will just open up again.
It pushes us toward sealed, non-porous surfaces that won’t trap ember residue and toward finishes that won’t chalk under heat loading. It also means we don’t leave exposed wood edges on south-facing walls where summer sun bakes through glass. A Lompico kitchen carries different material demands than CGI in Mount Hermon or the same kitchen in town.
A focused update with new CGI cabinet doors, quartz counters, and a backsplash typically runs $8,000 to $25,000 in Lompico, depending on access and what the foundation does to the install. A full kitchen remodel lands between $14,000 and $45,000. Call (866) 472-1908 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
