CGI Construction in Lompico, CA | Milpitas Construction
We provide independent CGI service and installation across Lompico, and the one thing that sets our work apart here is that we plan every CGI window, door, shower, and cabinet order around this canyon’s unincorporated-county rules, CalFire WUI screening, and steep, shaded terrain. We’re not authorized by CGI, but we know their product lines well, and we’ll tell you straight when a CGI unit is right for a Lompico build and when it isn’t. Call (877) 752-4194 for a free estimate.
Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Most construction crews working Lompico got their start on flatland Santa Cruz tract homes. That matters because CGI products perform differently when they’re set into redwood-and-rustic cabins on pier-and-post foundations, shaded by second-growth redwoods, and hit with months of fog drip. We’ve spent years servicing CGI windows, sliders, shower enclosures, and cabinetry up and down Lompico Road and West Drive, plus CGI in Ben Lomond and nearby mountain communities, so we know how these materials actually behave in this damp, fire-country environment, not how they look in a catalog.
Ken Stafford leads our work here. He grew up around Milpitas back when it was still mostly warehouse lots and family-owned shops, trained in construction technology at Evergreen Valley College, and has spent more than two decades on residential builds and remodels that have to hold up to Bay Area soil shifts and seismic quirks. His dad was a finish carpenter, and Ken inherited the same standard: do work you’re not embarrassed to stand behind. That’s why we spec OEM CGI parts when the unit still warrants them and tell you honestly when replacement beats repair. This is CGI sales & service grounded in field experience, not showroom theory.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Flashing failures and sill rot behind CGI windows and doors. Lompico gets heavy winter rain and near-constant fog drip. Water finds its way behind frames set into older redwood walls, especially where the original flashing was just caulk. We pull the unit, rebuild the rough opening, and flash it to shed water off the hillside.
- CGI slider and patio door tracks seizing with redwood needles and moss. Debris accumulates fast in this canyon. When weep holes clog, tracks fill, rollers bind, and water backs up into the interior. We clear the drainage path, replace worn hardware, and when the frame itself is compromised, we’ll tell you replacement is the honest call.
- Mold at the caulk line on CGI shower enclosures. Many Lompico cabins have limited ventilation and year-round humidity. Enclosures that were sealed with standard caulk develop mold and a dulled finish quickly. We re-seal with marine-grade material and fix the ventilation problem instead of just hiding the symptom.
- CGI cabinetry swelling at the toe kick and sink base. Pier-and-post floors move, and many older creek-side cabins never had a proper vapor barrier. That combination delaminates cabinet bases. We repair what’s salvageable and rebuild with materials that tolerate the moisture cycle.
- Warped or misaligned CGI door slabs from structural movement. Slope creep and seasonal moisture swings push frames out of square. A door that rubs or won’t latch is often a sign the rough opening needs resetting, not just a hinge adjustment. We address the opening itself.
CGI Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The thing most outsiders miss about Lompico is that there’s no city building department. It’s unincorporated Santa Cruz County, so every CGI window swap, shower replacement, or kitchen remodel that changes the exterior envelope routes through County planning and gets screened against CalFire defensible-space and WUI rules before approval. A window replacement on a Lompico Road cabin isn’t just a size-and-glazing decision. It’s a materials-class and permit-sequencing decision. The same applies to kitchen work if you’re changing wall assemblies. A flatland contractor who’s never dealt with County planning or fire-hardening reviews can lose weeks figuring out the sequence. We’ve handled enough Lompico jobs to know what triggers a WUI review, what passes on the first submittal, and how to order the work so the project keeps moving while permits process. When you work with us across the Lompico service area, that local knowledge is what keeps your timeline intact.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Lompico
We service the full range of CGI residential product lines you’re likely to find on Lompico cabins: residential windows, sliding glass doors, exterior entry and patio door units, shower enclosures and bath fixtures, and the cabinetry and countertop programs. On older CGI units that are still structurally sound, we fit OEM parts when they’re available and offer quality aftermarket seals, hardware, and flashing when OEM is out of production or the weather window won’t wait — the same approach we take with CGI repair in Felton. We keep common retrofit hardware stocked for faster turnaround on mountain-cabin sizes. If your CGI unit is already failing at the frame or sill in this damp canyon, we’ll usually say so and steer you toward replacement rather than patching something that won’t survive another wet season.

What drives cost here is access and prep. Deliveries up Lompico Road with limited turnout space, pier-and-post foundation work, WUI materials upgrades, and County permit review all add time and line items a flatland job doesn’t carry. Our free estimate walks through every one of those items in writing, so you know what you’re paying and why. Call (877) 752-4194 to schedule one.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Lompico
Do I need a county permit to replace CGI windows on my Lompico cabin? Yes, in most cases. Lompico falls under unincorporated Santa Cruz County, and any window swap that changes the exterior envelope, opening size, or glazing class needs County review, often with a CalFire WUI screening attached. Call (877) 752-4194 and we’ll tell you what your specific project triggers.
My CGI sliding door track keeps filling with redwood needles and leaking – repair or replace? It depends on the frame. If the track and rollers are intact and the only issue is clogged weep holes and degraded seals, repair is straightforward. If the frame has rotted at the sill or the rough opening has shifted, replacement is the honest call. We’ll inspect and tell you straight.
Can CGI shower enclosures hold up in a damp Lompico cabin? They can, if they’re installed and sealed for high humidity. The problem is usually the caulk and the lack of ventilation, not the enclosure itself. We re-seal with marine-grade material and address airflow so the finish stops dulling and mold stops forming at the line. Call (877) 752-4194 for an assessment.
How does defensible-space compliance affect a CGI kitchen or window project in Lompico? Any project touching the exterior envelope gets screened against CalFire defensible-space and WUI rules. That can affect window glazing class, frame material, and even wall assembly details. We sequence permits so kitchen work can continue inside while WUI review runs on the exterior portion.
Can we get material deliveries up Lompico Road for a big CGI kitchen or bath order? Yes, with planning. Steep, narrow sections and limited turnaround space mean we stage deliveries smaller and coordinate timing with you. We’ve done full cabinet and slab deliveries on Lompico Road, but it takes a delivery plan, not just a truck showing up.
