CGI Construction in Bonny Doon, CA | Workshop Contractors
We’re Workshop Contractors, and we provide independent CGI cabinet and countertop service across Bonny Doon. That means installation, refacing, repair, and full kitchen remodels built around CGI’s all-plywood shaker lines, Euro-style melamine boxes, and quartz or granite slabs. What makes our CGI work different here comes down to this: we plan every cabinet run and countertop seam for fog-season moisture, wildfire-season dust, and the narrow mountain roads that complicate delivery. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate.
Why Bonny Doon Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Noel Figueroa, our owner and general contractor, learned framing and finish work from the tradesmen who built half the houses on his street in Ontario, then spent decades working everything from ground-up residential builds to full commercial tenant improvements. That background matters when a cabinet order shows up wrong or a countertop seam won’t sit tight against a wall that hasn’t been square since 1972. We know how to adapt.
More than that, we’ve spent years installing and remodeling around CGI cabinetry and fixtures in the Santa Cruz Mountains, so we know how factory-built CGI boxes, drawer systems and finishes behave in a fire-hardened, high-humidity ridge climate. We are an independent contractor – not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by CGI – and we bring that hands-on familiarity to every Bonny Doon project. We source genuine CGI replacement doors, drawer boxes and hardware where the factory line is still supported, and we use quality aftermarket soft-close glides and hinges when OEM parts are discontinued or back-ordered. Build it right the first time. The second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy about it.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Bonny Doon
- Fog-and-condensation swelling at cabinet toe kicks and end panels. Bonny Doon sits at 1,500 to 2,000 feet, cooler and wetter than the coast below. In unheated cabins, indoor humidity swings hard between wet winters and dry summer fire season. Plywood and melamine edges absorb that moisture, swell, and start to split or delaminate. We replace damaged panels, seal exposed edges, and reset cabinet runs on dry, level subfloors.
- Painted and thermofoil CGI finishes blistering on south-facing cabinet faces. Single-pane windows in older redwood cabins let direct sun beat on cabinet doors all afternoon. Thermofoil and painted finishes eventually blister and peel. We reface or replace those doors, and we’ll talk straight with you about which CGI finish holds up better given your window orientation.
- Drawer-glide and hinge wear from wildfire-season dust and ash. Older Bonny Doon homes without ember-resistant vents pull fine dust and ash into the kitchen during fire season. That grit works its way into drawer glides and hinge mechanisms, causing drag, grinding, and premature wear. We swap to quality aftermarket soft-close hardware and can coordinate vent upgrades while we’re in the room.
- Moisture wicking at countertop seams and backsplash joints. Winter rain drives hard against aging wood siding on many Bonny Doon homes. When water finds its way to the cabinet run, it wicks into seams and joints. We set quartz and granite tops with tight, properly supported seams so driven rain can’t find the joint, then repair the water-damaged cabinet boxes behind them.
- Structural water damage to cabinet carcasses. If a cabinet box has structural water damage we tell homeowners straight – refacing and panel swaps are cheaper, but a rotted or swollen carcass gets replaced. No shortcuts on a box that’s holding up your countertop.
CGI Service in Bonny Doon: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Bonny Doon’s rebuild patchwork after the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex means the same road can have a new Chapter 7A ignition-resistant home next to a 1970s redwood cabin. Off Empire Grade or Pine Flat Road, a CGI kitchen or bath scope may need noncombustible surround detailing and ember-resistant venting on one lot and CGI repair in Felton-style moisture repair on the next. Our material plan changes lot by lot. A contractor working the Santa Cruz flats never thinks about whether the cabinet wall should be sheathed in ignition-resistant material, or whether the vent behind the range hood needs 1/8-inch mesh. In Bonny Doon, those questions are part of the job. That’s the difference between a cabinet installer and a contractor who actually works this ridge.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Bonny Doon
We work across the CGI line: Ready-to-Assemble all-plywood shaker cabinets, the Euro-style flat-panel melamine series, semi-custom painted and glazed cabinet lines, and CGI quartz and granite countertop slabs. When a factory line is still supported, we order genuine CGI sales & service replacement doors, drawer boxes, and hardware. When OEM parts are discontinued or back-ordered – and that happens more than you’d think with older lines – we source quality aftermarket soft-close glides and hinges that hold up to Bonny Doon use. We don’t keep a warehouse of inventory on the mountain, but we stage materials in the flatlands and bring them up only when the road and weather cooperate. That keeps your project moving without clogging your driveway with pallets for three weeks.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Bonny Doon
Yes, with proper sealing and ventilation. CGI’s all-plywood boxes hold up better than particleboard alternatives in high-humidity conditions, but toe kicks, end panels, and any exposed cut edges still need sealing. In unheated cabins where humidity swings hard, we recommend soft-close hardware with better dust resistance and cabinet runs set on a sealed subfloor. Call (844) 384-3361 for an evaluation of your specific kitchen.
Almost always. Older Bonny Doon cabins rarely have square walls or level floors, so we measure and shim every run rather than trusting factory dimensions. CGI’s RTA and semi-custom lines give us flexibility on cabinet width and depth, and we can match door styles and finishes to existing runs when the line is still supported. If it’s discontinued, we’ll show you the closest current match before ordering.
Often, yes. If your home predates current Chapter 7A standards, we’ll discuss noncombustible surround detailing and ember-resistant venting as part of the material plan. Not every project triggers a full hardening scope, but on CZU-rebuild lots and adjacent properties, it’s the responsible conversation to have. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll assess your specific lot.
We stage materials off the mountain and bring them up only when road conditions allow. For narrow or unpaved access, that means smaller trucks, scheduled deliveries, and sometimes hand-carrying the last stretch. We’ve done enough Bonny Doon projects to know which roads a full delivery truck cannot navigate. If your driveway has a tight switchback, tell us when you call – it changes the logistics plan and the timeline.
Yes, as long as the cabinet boxes are structurally sound. Refacing replaces doors, drawer fronts, and hardware while keeping the existing boxes. If the carcass has water damage or swelling, refacing won’t fix it – we’ll tell you straight and quote a replacement instead. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free assessment and exact quote.
