CGI Construction in San Bernardino, CA | Milpitas Construction
We provide independent CGI cabinet, countertop, and shower enclosure installation and repair across San Bernardino. What separates our CGI work here from a box-store install is simple: San Bernardino mixes 1940s wood-frame bungalows near downtown with fire-rebuild construction along the foothill edges of 92407, and those two houses demand completely different approaches before a single CGI box gets hung. We plan for both. Call (877) 752-4194 for a free estimate on CGI cabinet, quartz, or frameless shower work in San Bernardino.
Why San Bernardino Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI cabinets and countertops are only as good as the wall and floor behind them, and San Bernardino’s housing stock tests that every day. The post-war tract homes on the west and south sides sit on settled pier-and-beam subfloors that make out-of-level cabinet runs common. The older bungalows near downtown have stucco-over-sheathing walls that wick moisture into anything mounted tight. We’ve been working inside these houses long enough to know where the trouble hides before it shows.
Ken Stafford built his trade on exactly this kind of work, starting with construction technology training at Evergreen Valley College before spending two-plus decades on ground-up builds and remodels that had to hold up to real-world conditions. That background means we don’t just assemble CGI repair in Loma Linda and product elsewhere. We level it, shim it, support it, and spec the right hardware for the house in front of us. We’re an independent installer, not authorized or endorsed by CGI. That independence lets us call an honest shot on repair versus replacement without a brand rep in our ear.
We keep OEM CGI hinges, slides, and assembly hardware on hand for the product lines we service, and we carry quality aftermarket soft-close and leveling components for when OEM is back-ordered or an old San Bernardino wall needs structural bracing before the cabinet ever touches it. From the roofline to the kitchen counter, one contractor, one conversation.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in San Bernardino
- Cam-and-dowel joint failure in RTA cabinets. CGI Ready-to-Assemble Shaker cabinets ship flat and assemble on site. When the floor is out of level, those cam joints open up within a year or two. We see it constantly on the west-side tract homes where pier-and-beam subfloors have settled over decades. We level the base, build a proper sub-frame, and re-hang the boxes with OEM hardware.
- Back panel and toe kick swelling from stucco moisture wicking. Older San Bernardino bungalows near downtown were often built without house wrap behind the stucco. Cabinets mounted tight to those walls pull moisture into the back panels and toe kicks, and within a few years you get swelling and delamination. We add a moisture barrier and proper standoff before reinstalling CGI boxes.
- Cracked CGI quartz over sagging cabinet runs. A cracked countertop at a sink cutout or an unsupported span is rarely a quartz problem. It’s a cabinet-run problem. Downtown bungalows with soft framing let the cabinets sag, and the quartz cracks when it bridges a void. We fix the support structure before we ever set a new top.
- Leaking frameless CGI shower enclosures. A 1940s bathroom floor slopes toward the original drain, and when a shower pan gets set on that slope, the curb and hinge plates leak. We see it on older San Bernardino homes regularly. The fix is a level pan and proper waterproofing, not more caulk at the curb.
- Refacing mismatches on 1950s-1960s cabinet boxes. San Bernardino homes from that era often have original face-frame cabinets that are still square but look wrecked. We reface those boxes with CGI doors and drawer fronts, keeping the OEM hinges and slides consistent so the retrofit doesn’t fight the existing footprint.
CGI Service in San Bernardino: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
San Bernardino’s fire-rebuild corridor along the foothill edges of 92407 and its 1940s wood-frame blocks near downtown put the same crew on two totally different jobs in one week. We stock for both stucco-over-sheathing rehab and modern WUI-rated assembly at once. That’s not something a generic CGI in Rialto or a Redlands installer has to plan around the same way. In a single week, our crew might fire-harden a new build up high in 92407, then drop down to a west-side bungalow to rebuild an out-of-level CGI cabinet run and set a quartz top with a proper sink support. The materials, the fasteners, the waterproofing details, the sequence of work, all of it changes between those two jobs. If a CGI provider doesn’t understand the difference between a 1940s wood-frame house and a fire-hardened foothill rebuild, the cabinets may look the same on day one and perform very differently by year three. We plan for that split reality because it’s the actual reality of working in San Bernardino.
On a 1940s bungalow off the west-side blocks near downtown, we pulled out a failing CGI RTA cabinet run whose cam joints had opened over a settled, out-of-level floor. We built a level sub-frame, re-hung assembled CGI Shaker boxes with OEM hardware, and set a CGI quartz top with proper sink support before turning to the bathroom’s tub-to-shower conversion. The same week, our crew handled a CGI service in Muscoy on a foothill-edge rebuild in 92407, where the job was fire-defensible exterior detailing rather than interior. That’s the schedule we plan around here.
CGI Models & Products We Service in San Bernardino
We install and repair the CGI lines San Bernardino homeowners actually use: Ready-to-Assemble Shaker cabinetry, assembled all-plywood Shaker and raised-panel cabinet lines, the CGI quartz and granite countertop program, and CGI frameless glass shower enclosures. For parts, we use OEM CGI hinges, slides, and assembly hardware wherever the product line calls for it. Where OEM is back-ordered or an old wall needs structural bracing first, we use quality aftermarket soft-close and leveling components and tell you exactly why. We don’t patch a water-swollen back or glue over delamination. A blown center panel or moisture-damaged box is a replace, not a patch. We’d rather tell you that straight than sell you a repair that fails in a year. Our full CGI sales & service expertise covers the product side. For installation, repair, and remodel work across the city, that’s what our San Bernardino service area page covers.

AfterCGI Service Pricing in San Bernardino
CGI in Highland and San Bernardino prices out differently depending on whether we’re working in a 1940s bungalow that needs floor leveling and moisture control first, or a newer foothill build where the structure is already square. That’s the honest answer. Here are the ranges we quote most often for San Bernardino homeowners:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 – $13,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000 – $6,500 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
What drives the number is the condition of what’s behind the CGI product: floor leveling, wall flatness, moisture barriers, and structural support all factor in. Our free estimate walks you through each line item, by brand name, so you know what you’re paying for before any work starts. Call (877) 752-4194 for an exact quote on your San Bernardino project.

FAQs – CGI Construction in San Bernardino
Yes, in most cases. The walls in a 1950s San Bernardino bungalow are typically stucco over sheathing, which can hold CGI cabinets fine as long as we address two things first: floor leveling for the base cabinets and a moisture barrier at the wall. We don’t need to tear out walls. We need to prepare them properly, often with added standoff and structural bracing where decades of settlement have taken their toll. Call (877) 752-4194 and we’ll give you an honest read on your specific house.
It’s almost never the quartz. West-side San Bernardino tract homes from the post-war era sit on settled pier-and-beam subfloors, which sag the cabinet runs. The CGI quartz then cracks over unsupported spans or at sink cutouts because it’s bridging a void. The fix is repairing the cabinet structure and adding proper sink support before the new top goes on. Whoever does the work has to understand the floor issue, or the crack comes back. Call (877) 752-4194 for a structural assessment before you replace the top.
Same crew, different materials and different sequencing. A foothill rebuild in 92407 calls for WUI-rated exterior detailing, fire-defensible assemblies, and modern framing standards. A downtown retrofits on a 1940s wood-frame bungalow needs stucco-side moisture control, floor leveling, and structural bracing before interior work starts. We stock for both and schedule them intentionally, because San Bernardino routinely puts both jobs on the same week’s board. If you’re planning either kind of project, the interior CGI work still needs the same level of preparation, just different specifics. Call (877) 752-4194 and tell us what part of San Bernardino you’re in.
The leak usually shows up at the curb and hinge plates, but the cause is almost always a pan that wasn’t set level. In a 1940s San Bernardino bathroom, the floor slopes toward the original drain, and a pan set on that slope shifts the weight of the glass and lets water pool at the curb. A cracked or leaking pan is a different animal entirely, usually a waterproofing failure under the tile. We diagnose which one you have before we recommend glass or pan replacement. Call (877) 752-4194 for an assessment.
We use OEM CGI hinges, slides, and assembly hardware wherever the product line calls for it, and we keep a working stock of those parts for the San Bernardino homes we service. When OEM is back-ordered or an old wall needs added structural bracing, we use quality aftermarket soft-close and leveling components and tell you exactly what we’re doing and why. We don’t hide parts sourcing behind vague language. Call (877) 752-4194 if you want a straight answer on your repair.
