CGI Construction in San Bernardino, CA | Workshop Contractors
We provide independent CGI cabinet, countertop, and shower enclosure installation and repair across San Bernardino. We are not an authorized CGI dealer, and we say that up front. What makes our CGI work different here is simple: before we order a single box or slab, we check what the Cajon Pass wind, the desert sun, and this city’s older foundations have already done to the structure around it. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate on any CGI scope in San Bernardino.
Why San Bernardino Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Noel Figueroa, our owner and general contractor, grew up in the Vineyard neighborhood of Ontario, where the houses were framed by tradesmen who passed along their hammers and their habits. He learned construction at Chaffey College, on job sites around the Inland Empire, and has spent the years since running projects from ground-up builds to full remodels in San Bernardino’s older downtown blocks and the ranch tracts spreading east and west. That background matters when you are working with CGI product, because the product is only as good as the wall it hangs on and the floor it sits on — the same standard we bring to every CGI service in Muscoy. We know how CGI cabinetry, quartz slabs, and frameless shower enclosures actually perform in this city, and we plan for the conditions that cause them to fail. You get one contractor who understands both the material and the house around it. For us, that has always been the point.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in San Bernardino
- Thermofoil and laminate door skins delaminating at the edges. In tracts across 92404 and 92405, we regularly see CGI cabinet doors where the thermofoil has peeled back at the bottom corners. The cause is usually a long run of San Bernardino summers with weeks above 100°F, combined with fine wind-blown dust that works its way into the seam and abrades the adhesive over five to seven years.
- Frameless cabinet boxes racking out of square. Many of the 1950s-70s ranch homes here sit on slab-on-grade foundations over expansive clay that has been deflecting for decades. A CGI frameless box depends on a dead-flat installation surface. When the floor has moved, the boxes twist, doors bind, and drawers stop closing clean.
- Quartz and granite seams opening and edges chipping. If a cabinet run is set on an un-level floor and the slab is templated on top, the stone will move with the cabinet. We see seam separation and chipped edges in San Bernardino kitchens where the original install skipped the re-leveling step.
- Frameless shower glass out of plumb and hardware pitting. Century-old homes near downtown and the south side have walls that have settled well out of vertical. Installing a CGI frameless enclosure against an un-plumb wall causes rollers to bind and glass to sit crooked. Hard water from the city’s aging supply lines adds pitting on hinges and clips over time.
- Water damage behind cabinets from old galvanized plumbing. In the older blocks around 92410 and 92411, galvanized supply lines are still in service. When one leaks inside a wall, the first sign is often a swollen cabinet box or a countertop seam pulling apart. Repairs that ignore the plumbing fail again within a year.
CGI Service in San Bernardino: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
There is a specific challenge in San Bernardino that we almost never see in newer subdivisions to the south or west: unpermitted construction from decades of owner-additions. In the older south- and east-side blocks around 92410 and 92411, a lot of the homes we enter have had a garage converted, a room added, or a wall moved without a permit ever being pulled. When we open up a wall to set a CGI cabinet run or frame a shower, we frequently find that the room itself was never legally built. That means the code-correction plan and permit have to clear before any new CGI box or pan goes in. A clean-record tract home in a different part of the city, or a job needing CGI in Highland, lets us order and install on a normal schedule. An older San Bernardino home often needs us to fix the room before we touch the product. We handle both, but the sequence matters, and skipping it is how a five-figure remodel turns into a building department problem.
On a Craftsman bungalow off the older south-side blocks near 92410, we opened up for a CGI cabinet and quartz countertop install and found original knob-and-tube wiring feeding the kitchen wall plus a rear addition with no permit on record. We pulled the code-correction scope first, got the circuit and the addition legalized, re-leveled the slab-on-grade floor, and only then set the CGI boxes and templated the slab — a process similar to any CGI repair in Loma Linda. The countertop seams are still tight years later because we fixed the floor before the stone.
CGI Models & Products We Service in San Bernardino
Our teams install and repair CGI Euro-style frameless cabinetry, including the full-overlay thermofoil and melamine door fronts and the shaker and raised-panel door series. We also work with CGI quartz and granite countertop slabs and CGI framed and frameless glass shower enclosures. On the parts side, we use CGI OEM hinges, slides, and door fronts whenever they are still available so the finish and fit match. When a line is discontinued, we step to quality aftermarket hardware and tell you before we order. For San Bernardino turnaround, we keep common CGI hardware components and touch-up materials on hand, which reduces the wait when a repair is small enough to handle without a full replacement. For larger scopes, we work through our full CGI sales & service selection and order direct. We also stock shims, leveling systems, and slab-setting materials for the uneven floors and out-of-plumb walls this city throws at us.

FAQs – CGI Construction in San Bernardino
The peeling is almost always from heat and dust working together. San Bernardino summers above 100°F soften the thermofoil adhesive, and fine wind-blown dust from the Cajon Pass corridor gets into the seam and abrades the bond. After five to seven years, the edges lift. We can reface with new CGI door fronts or replace the doors entirely, and we will tell you which makes sense for your kitchen. Call (844) 384-3361 for an exact quote.
Yes, but not right away. If we open the wall and find an unpermitted addition or conversion, the code-correction plan and permit have to clear before any new CGI cabinet box or countertop goes in. We handle the entire correction as part of the scope. Plan for a longer schedule on that type of job, and call (844) 384-3361 to have us look at the space first.
CGI quartz holds color and finish well in high heat, which is one reason we recommend it for San Bernardino kitchens. The risk is not the stone, it is the cabinet run underneath. If the cabinets are set on an un-level slab floor, the quartz seams can open and edges can chip. We re-level before we template, and that step is the difference between a countertop that stays tight and one that fails in a few years. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free measurement and quote.
The glass and hardware will survive. The wall behind them might not. Galvanized plumbing in older San Bernardino homes leaks inside the wall, and the first visible sign is often water damage at the shower base or a cabinet seam pulling apart. We check the supply lines and the wall framing before we set any CGI shower enclosure. If the plumbing needs replacement, we scope it first. Call (844) 384-3361 and we will walk the bathroom with you.
For cabinet and countertop work, the wind itself matters less than the dust it carries and the rattling it causes on homes with loose framing. In foothill homes near 92407, we see higher interior dust loads, which accelerates wear on cabinet hardware and can force dust into thermofoil seams. For roofing scopes, the wind uplift rating matters more than the CGI product, and we factor that into every exterior scope we quote. Call (844) 384-3361 to schedule a site walk.
