CGI Construction in Tiburon, CA | San Bruno Construction
We provide independent CGI service across Tiburon – cabinet installation, refacing, and repair for the line’s RTA, Shaker, and slab product families. What makes our CGI work different here is that we plan every install around Tiburon’s hillside reality: out-of-plumb walls, pier-supported floors, design review, and driveways that punish a delivery truck. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate.
San Bruno Construction is not a CGI-authorized dealer or manufacturer affiliate. We’re an independent general contractor with deep hands-on experience installing and remodeling around CGI cabinetry across Marin. Our CGI sales & service work spans the full line, and we coordinate every trade on the job – so you get one accountable point of contact from demolition through final hardware adjustment.
Why Tiburon Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve spent over a decade installing and remodeling around CGI cabinetry in Marin, which means we already know the line’s box dimensions, fascia options, and hardware quirks before the first cabinet leaves the truck. We know which soft-close slides ship on which door profile, what the RTA all-plywood boxes can and can’t tolerate, and when a reface makes more sense than a full replacement.
Our crews walk hillside Tiburon jobs regularly, so we plan CGI installs around slope logistics and design review instead of discovering those constraints mid-build. As a Tiburon General Contractor, we understand local hillside challenges firsthand. Noel Carvalho, owner at San Bruno Construction, trained in construction technology at Skyline College and has spent two-plus decades running residential projects across San Mateo and Marin counties. He’s the one who taught our team to check a floor for level before ordering a single cabinet box. Good construction doesn’t announce itself – it just works, year after year.
We’re licensed, insured, and bonded, and we pull permits when the scope calls for it. For Tiburon homeowners, that matters because this town’s design review process doesn’t blink at kitchen and bath cabinet work – but it does care about anything that touches the exterior envelope, view corridors, or structural changes.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Tiburon
- Swollen or delaminating lower-cost CGI cabinet runs. Hillside homes in Tiburon often take winter moisture through a vented crawlspace or a deck ledger that’s been leaking for years. Thin-panel backing on lower-cost CGI boxes absorbs that moisture and swells. We open the wall, confirm the moisture source is fixed, and either replace the affected boxes with all-plywood CGI construction or reface the run if the boxes are still sound.
- Failed soft-close hinges and drawer glides on older custom homes. Tiburon’s mid-century houses sat for decades, and the cabinet boxes were often shimmed onto walls that were never plumb to begin with. That compounds hinge wear. We source genuine CGI hinges and slides when the production line still runs them, and move to quality aftermarket soft-close hardware when a legacy pattern has been discontinued.
- Warped or finish-checked doors on west-facing hillside elevations. Long dry-summer sun through full-height view windows, common on Tiburon’s slope-facing kitchens, does real damage to wood door fronts. We’ve replaced CGI Shaker doors that checked and warped from decades of afternoon exposure, then reconfigured the new run so the sun hits less surface area.
- Refaced doors delaminating from mid-century boxes. When the original framing is twisted – which shows up constantly in stilt-and-pier Tiburon homes where floors are never truly flat – a reface can fail if the installer didn’t bring the boxes back to a real datum first. We level and shim before any CGI veneer or door goes on.
- Access problems before the cabinet work even starts. Narrow, steep driveways on Tiburon’s upper slope turn a normal cabinet delivery into a logistical problem. We plan material staging, delivery timing, and sometimes hand-carrying runs up a set of stairs. The goal is no surprises on install day.
CGI Service in Tiburon: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what most people don’t realize about kitchen and bath work in Tiburon until the old cabinets come out. Most of the housing stock up here is mid-century and older custom homes built into slopes, with decks cantilevered over ravines and stilt-and-pier foundations underneath. That means the cabinet run almost always has to follow a wall that is out of plumb and often sits over a floor that was never truly level. If you measure the old boxes and order new ones to match, you build the same problem back in. So our our Home Remodeling in Tiburon starts with shimming and leveling CGI cabinets to a real datum, not just measuring the old boxes. We shoot the wall and the floor with a laser before we order a single cabinet. On a hillside street off the upper slope, we pulled a mid-century kitchen whose CGI Shaker doors had checked and warped from decades of afternoon sun through a full-height view window. The wall behind the run was two inches out of plumb over a cantilevered section, so we shimmed and leveled a new CGI all-plywood cabinet run to a set datum, replaced the failed soft-close slides, and finished the layout around the existing view corridor before reinstalling quartz counters on the island.
That’s the difference between a cabinet installer who shows up with boxes and a general contractor who knows Tiburon’s houses. We plan for the slope, the framing, and the view corridor before demolition starts. It’s why our CGI jobs here hold up.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Tiburon
We work on the full CGI product range: Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) all-plywood cabinet boxes with soft-close drawer slides, Shaker-style and slab door cabinet lines used in kitchen and bath remodels, Sausalito CGI service options like cabinet refacing doors and veneers over existing mid-century boxes, and base and wall cabinet runs configured for islands and pantries. Our parts approach is simple. We source genuine CGI doors, hinges, and slides when the cabinet run is still in production so finishes and dimensions match exactly. When a legacy hinge pattern is discontinued, we turn to quality aftermarket soft-close hardware that drops in without modification. If a CGI box has swollen or delaminated rather than just worn hardware, we tell owners honestly that replacement usually beats patching, especially where a future remodel is already on the table.
For Tiburon turnaround, we maintain relationships with CGI distributors and CGI in Chinatown supply houses across Marin, so common hardware and door profiles get ordered fast and staged for your access conditions – not left on a truck at the bottom of a hill.

AfterCGI Service Pricing in Tiburon
Here’s what Tiburon homeowners can expect for CGI cabinet and kitchen work. These ranges reflect current Marin market pricing, and every project gets a written line-item quote before work starts – no change orders because we missed a measurement.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 – $13,000 |

What actually drives the quote in Tiburon is access, leveling scope, and whether the old boxes come out clean. A steep driveway that requires hand-carrying cabinet runs adds labor. A wall that’s three inches out of plumb over a cantilevered floor adds shimming time and sometimes structural consulting. A reface on an existing sound box costs less than a full replacement, but only if the box is worth keeping. Call (866) 472-1908 for an exact quote – estimates are free and we walk the site before we price anything.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Tiburon
Yes. That’s the default condition for many Tiburon kitchens, not an exception. We level and shim the cabinet run to a set datum before installation, which accounts for the wall and the pier-supported floor underneath. Call (866) 472-1908 to have us assess your kitchen’s exact conditions.
The all-plywood CGI RTA boxes hold up well when properly installed. The lower-cost boxes with thin-panel backing are the ones that fail when moisture intrudes near a deck or crawlspace. We’ll walk you through which CGI construction suits your home’s exposure and which areas need moisture remediation before cabinets go in.
Interior cabinet replacement doesn’t trigger design review on its own. If the project touches exterior walls, window openings, or view corridors – common when reconfiguring a hillside kitchen to capture more light or a better view – it may. We check before ordering anything. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll verify what your specific scope requires.
Sometimes. If the original boxes are structurally sound and square enough to bring level, a CGI reface with new doors and veneers is a solid option. In stilt-and-pier homes where the original boxes were shimmed onto twisted framing, a reface often fails because the boxes themselves have moved. We inspect and tell you straight which path makes sense. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free on-site assessment.
We stage deliveries for the driveway’s actual grade and width, sometimes splitting the run into smaller loads and hand-carrying the final stretch. It adds time and labor, which is why access is always part of our quote, never a surprise at the end.
