CGI Construction in Mission District, CA | Workshop Contractors
We provide independent CGI cabinetry and countertop service throughout Mission District, handling everything from full kitchen remodels to cabinet refacing and quartz repair. The one thing that separates our CGI work here from a generic install is knowing what pre-1906 wood-frame buildings and buried-creek moisture do to cabinet boxes and countertop seams. If you’re in the 94110 ZIP and your CGI cabinets are binding, swollen, or seam-split, call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate.
Why Mission District Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve spent years pulling CGI cabinets, quartz slabs and finish packages out of Mission District Victorians and post-1950 infill apartments, and we know how those materials behave in damp, soft-story buildings that have already settled once. Our crews read the same CGI spec sheets and installation clearances an authorized dealer would, and we order direct – independent, brand-fluent, and not tied to any manufacturer’s warranty program.
Noel Figueroa, our owner, learned framing and finish work the old-school way: on job sites before he was old enough to rent a truck, under tradesmen who built half the houses on his street. That background is why we approach a CGI install in the Mission as a structural problem first and a cabinet job second. We’re a CGI sales & service contractor who also handles the framing, subfloor, and waterproofing underneath the finish work. One contract, one schedule, one team accountable for how the entire system interacts.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Mission District
- Swollen MDF and particleboard carcasses in ground-floor kitchens. Much of the Mission sits over the buried Mission Creek culvert and filled bayland. Damp wicks up through slabs and never dries out, so toe kicks and bottom panels swell and crumble. We replace damaged boxes and install proper vapor barriers before resetting cabinets.
- Sagging or delaminating cabinet boxes in 1906-era flats. Floors in these buildings are often out of level by two or three inches. Installers who shim instead of scribe leave CGI boxes twisted, which binds hinges and drawer glides. We re-level and re-hang, then adjust every glideset.
- Quartz seams and edge failures around galley-kitchen sinks. Tight Mission flats tempt cutters to fit slabs before cabinets are fully set. A slab templated to an unleveled run will crack at the seam within a year. We template after install, always.
- Warped lacquered CGI door and drawer fronts in unventilated bathrooms. Many Mission remodels never added an exhaust fan. Repeated steam cycles warp flat-panel lacquer fronts. We correct ventilation and replace or reface the fronts.
- Soft-story shear forces stressing cabinet anchoring. In buildings with unreinforced ground floors, seismic movement works cabinet anchors loose. We secure CGI runs with structural blocking and earthquake-rated fasteners where the retrofit didn’t extend to interior partitions.
CGI Service in Mission District: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Much of the Mission sits over the buried Mission Creek culvert, so CGI kitchen and bath installs here routinely hit foundation and drainage surprises – unexpected voids, saturated fill, or a prior owner’s unpermitted pier – that trigger plan changes after cabinets are already ordered. That’s a Mission-specific condition Noe Valley or Potrero Hill jobs rarely show. SF DBI’s historic resource review adds another layer: any pre-1945 building in the survey zone needs preservation sign-off before structural work. Your CGI cabinetry can be ordered, but if the window wall can’t move, the layout must adapt. We plan for both conditions from the first site walk, not after the RTA boxes show up.
On a Valencia Street soft-story Edwardian, we opened a ground-floor kitchen for a full remodel and found the CGI cabinet run bearing on a floor joist bay that had rotted from creek-fill moisture, with the existing boxes swollen at the toe kick. We sistered and bolted the joists, re-leveled the subfloor, and set new CGI Shaker cabinets with quartz counters templated after install. The drawers finally closed true. The client kept the original layout because SF DBI’s pre-1945 historic review made moving the window wall a months-long detour.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Mission District
We work on the full CGI catalog: Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) all-plywood cabinet lines, flat-panel and Shaker-style lacquered door collections, quartz and granite countertop programs, and vanity and bath cabinetry lines. On anything still in production, we use CGI OEM hinges, glides and touch-up kits. Discontinued hardware gets matched with quality aftermarket equivalents only after we verify bore pattern and weight rating. On a Mission Victorian we’ll usually repair and re-hang a sound CGI box rather than replace it, but a water-damaged carcass over the creek fill is a replace – no honest way to save swollen board.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Mission District
No. We are an independent CGI sales & service provider serving Mission District. We are not a CGI-authorized dealer and not affiliated with the manufacturer. We source CGI products direct and install them to factory spec, but warranty claims route through the manufacturer, not us.
We use OEM CGI hinges, glides, and touch-up kits on any product line still in production. For discontinued hardware, we match aftermarket equivalents only after confirming the bore pattern and weight rating match the original spec. We’ll tell you which is which before ordering.
Most full CGI kitchen remodels in Mission District run four to eight weeks once permits are issued. The wildcard is SF DBI preservation review: anything in a pre-1945 building that touches exterior walls or structural elements can add weeks. We flag that risk at the first site walk.
We service CGI Ready-to-Assemble all-plywood cabinet lines, flat-panel and Shaker lacquered door collections, quartz and granite countertop programs, and vanity and bath cabinetry. If you have a CGI product not on that list, call and we’ll confirm coverage before scheduling.
A full kitchen or bath remodel in 94110 typically pulls an SF DBI building permit, plus plumbing and electrical permits if you move fixtures or circuits. If the building is pre-1945 and in a historic resource survey zone, expect a preservation review that may limit layout changes. Working in a rent-controlled unit adds tenant coordination rules a lot of Mission jobs trigger. We manage the full permit package. Call (844) 384-3361 for an exact scope – estimates are free.
