CGI Construction in Boulder Creek, CA | San Bruno Construction
If you’re searching for CGI construction service in Boulder Creek, the short answer is this: we’re an independent San Bruno Construction crew that installs, retrofits, and repairs CGI cabinetry and countertop systems across the 95006 ZIP, and the thing that separates our work here is that we plan every CGI kitchen around moisture, slope movement, and wildfire rebuild realities that flat-lot contractors never see coming. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that a cabinet box hung tight against a damp canyon wall in Boulder Creek will fail in ways the same box never would down in San Bruno. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate, and we’ll show you what we mean.
Why Boulder Creek Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’re not a CGI distributor, and we’re not factory-authorized. We’re a general contractor that has spent years installing and retrofitting CGI cabinetry and countertop systems across the Santa Cruz Mountains, from Felton CGI service to full kitchen rebuilds on fire-damaged properties and single-cabinet swaps in older redwood contemporaries. That independence matters because we recommend what actually fits the room and the hillside, not what a manufacturer program tells us to push.
Noel Carvalho, our owner, trained in construction technology at Skyline College and has run residential projects across San Mateo County for more than two decades. When he looks at a Boulder Creek kitchen, he’s thinking about load paths, drainage, and how a CGI Euro-style frameless box will behave five winters from now on a shaded canyon slope. That’s the difference between a kitchen that holds up and one that swells apart after two wet seasons.
We also carry OEM-compatible CGI hardware for supported lines, so we can match doors, hinges, and drawer glides instead of forcing you into a full replacement. For discontinued CGI boxes, we use quality aftermarket soft-close hardware that fits the existing footprint. Call (866) 472-1908 and tell us what you’re working with.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Boulder Creek
- Swollen frameless Euro cabinet boxes on canyon-slope exterior walls. Boulder Creek’s shaded slopes along the San Lorenzo River hold moisture in the wall cavity year-round. We regularly see CGI frameless boxes whose bottom panels have wicked that damp and delaminated at the seams. The fix is removing the affected box, adding vented or rot-resistant backer, and resetting sound doors and hardware on new material.
- Full-overlay door hinges and drawer glides that bind and sag. Mountain cabins expand and contract more than valley homes because of seasonal humidity swings, and CGI full-overlay hardware takes the brunt of it. After a few years of that movement, doors sit proud and drawers stick. We correct the alignment, replace worn soft-close glides, and sometimes add venting so the boxes stop moving as much.
- Quartz and granite CGI tops cracking at sink and cooktop cutouts. Hillside foundations in Boulder Creek shift, especially after heavy winter rain. When a slab moves even a fraction of an inch, the stress concentrates at those narrow cutout bridges, and hairline cracks appear. We reset tops on corrected substrates and check the cabinet base for level before the stone goes back down.
- Veneer lifting on south-facing cabinets during dry summer heat. A Boulder Creek kitchen facing a sun-exposed south wall with no cross ventilation gets hot and dry from June through September. CGI cabinet refacing and veneer that was stable through winter starts lifting at the edges. We re-adhere or replace the affected panels and talk with you about ventilation so it doesn’t keep happening.
- Rotted cabinet frames on wildfire rebuilds. After a fire, the rebuild is often rushed, and if the exterior envelope isn’t fully dried in before cabinets go in, moisture gets trapped. We scope a partial box rebuild where the frame is rotted rather than patching it, because a band-aid over rot in a Boulder Creek kitchen just means we’ll be back in two years.
CGI Service in Boulder Creek: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Boulder Creek that a generic CGI service page won’t tell you: the shaded canyon slopes along the San Lorenzo River hold moisture in the walls year-round. That’s not a figure of speech. We’ve pulled CGI frameless cabinet runs off exterior walls in this town where the bottom panels had swollen and delaminated after years of trapped moisture against the sheathing. On a redwood contemporary off the San Lorenzo River canyon slope near CGI service in Lompico, our crew removed a full CGI cabinet run where exactly that had happened. We replaced the rotted boxes with vented, rot-resistant-backed units, reused the sound CGI doors with new soft-close hinges, and reset the quartz top on a corrected substrate so it wouldn’t crack again. The same kitchen on a sun-exposed Scotts Valley lot would never have failed that way – and that’s the point. A CGI kitchen in Boulder Creek needs more ventilation and better backer detailing than the identical kitchen anywhere else in the valley. If you’re planning one, call (866) 472-1908 and let’s talk through it before the cabinets go in.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Boulder Creek
We work across the CGI line: Euro-style full-overlay frameless cabinets, Shaker and raised-panel door lines, quartz and granite countertop programs, and bath vanity and linen cabinet collections. Where the line is still supported, we match OEM CGI doors, hinges, and drawer hardware so the repair blends in rather than looking spliced together. On discontinued boxes, we use quality aftermarket soft-close hardware that fits the existing footprint, because a full teardown over a worn glide is the wrong solution for most Boulder Creek homeowners. We keep common CGI-compatible hardware in local inventory so turnaround on a single-cabinet repair doesn’t drag on for weeks.

AfterCGI Service Pricing in Boulder Creek
CGI service in Ben Lomond and across the mountains spans a wide range because every house is different. A single-cabinet hinge repair lands at the bottom of that range. A full kitchen rebuild on a hillside lot that needs structural correction before cabinets go in lands at the top. What drives cost here more than anywhere else is site access: narrow canyon roads limit what we can bring up in one trip, and that shows up in the labor line.
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $9,000 – $20,000 |
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 – $13,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000 – $6,500 |
| Kitchen Island Installation | $3,000 – $10,000 |
Every estimate is free and written out line by line. We walk the site, we look at the slab or the crawlspace, we check access, and we give you a real number. Call (866) 472-1908 to schedule yours.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Boulder Creek
Yes, if they’re installed with the right backer and ventilation. Frameless boxes hung tight against a damp exterior wall will wick moisture and swell at the bottom seams – that’s a Boulder Creek pattern we see repeatedly. We install CGI boxes with vented or rot-resistant backing on any wall that sits against shaded, damp ground, and we’ll tell you honestly if a given cabinet line is a poor fit for your specific lot. Call (866) 472-1908 for an exact assessment – estimates are free.
Yes. In most cases the doors and drawer fronts are still sound – it’s the box bottom panels that take the moisture damage. We remove the rotted boxes, rebuild them with rot-resistant material, and rehang your original CGI doors with new soft-close hinges if the old ones are shot. You keep the look, and the kitchen doesn’t cost what a full replacement would.
They crack more when the foundation moves and the top was installed on an unlevel or shifting cabinet base. Hillside slabs and pier-and-beam systems around Boulder Creek move seasonally with rain and drought. We check level and substrate condition before any quartz goes back down, and we build in proper support at sink and cooktop cutouts where the stress concentrates. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll take a look at what you have.
Wildfire rebuilds in Boulder Creek are subject to defensible-space and fire-hardening requirements, which affect the exterior envelope first. But the interior sequencing matters too: if cabinets go in before the structure is fully dried in, trapped moisture finds its way into the boxes. We coordinate the whole rebuild – exterior and interior – so the kitchen doesn’t get installed into a still-wet shell. That’s one contract and one accountable crew, not three vendors pointing at each other.
It can. Some Boulder Creek driveways and canyon roads won’t take a full-size delivery truck, so we stage materials at the nearest accessible point and bring them up in smaller loads. That adds some labor time, and it’s part of why we always do a site visit before quoting. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll come measure access before we give you a number.
