CGI Construction in San Antonio Heights, CA | San Bernardino Contractors
We provide independent CGI cabinet, countertop, and kitchen construction service across San Antonio Heights, CA. The thing that sets our CGI work apart here is simple: we re-level and re-fit cabinetry on slopes that move, and we build kitchens that have to pass San Bernardino County fire-safety code, not a flat-lot city checklist. San Bernardino Contractors has been fitting CGI Euro-style and all-wood cabinet lines in foothill homes for years, and we know exactly what these boxes do when the ground under them shifts. Call (855) 473-5620 to schedule a free estimate for your CGI sales & service needs in 91784.
Why San Antonio Heights Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Ruben Castillo, our owner, grew up in the Westside neighborhood of San Bernardino watching his uncle frame garages and reroof houses on a tight budget. That education never left him. He went on to complete construction technology training at San Bernardino Valley College, where he got serious about load paths, plan reading, and not cutting corners on anything structural. So when a San Antonio Heights homeowner tells us their CGI cabinet doors are dragging after a wet winter, we don’t just swap hinges. We look at the floor, the slope, the drainage against the canyon-edge wall, and the way the frameless box has racked over time. If it’s not built right the first time, you’re just paying for it twice. We bring that same read-the-whole-job discipline to quartz countertops, full kitchen remodels, cabinet refacing, and every CGI product we install or repair here. And because we’re a local San Antonio Heights service area contractor, we know exactly what the County will ask for on a hillside remodel.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in San Antonio Heights
CGI cabinetry is well-built for what it is. But what it is doesn’t always hold up on a sun-blasted, fire-zone hillside. Here’s what we see most often in San Antonio Heights kitchens:
- Thermofoil door skins peeling on west- and south-facing walls. The dry Santa Ana cycles bake the laminate until it blisters away from the MDF core. We’ll tell you honestly whether re-fronting is worth it or whether the doors are done.
- Frameless boxes racking out of square on settled floors. Hillside homes creep. Sloped lots settle. When the floor moves a quarter inch, frameless CGI cabinets show it first – doors gap at the top, drawers drag on the bottom rail. We re-level, re-shim, and re-align the whole run.
- Particleboard boxes swelling at the toe kick and sink base. Winter slope drainage backs up against canyon-edge walls, and the moisture wicks into the cabinet box. By spring the base is delaminating. We fix the drainage, then the cabinet.
- Worn overlay hinges and sagging drawer slides under heavy stone tops. Granite and quartz are heavy. Old CGI hardware wasn’t always spec’d for that load. We replace the hardware with quality aftermarket slides and levelers when OEM parts are discontinued.
- Fire-zone remodels that trigger defensible-space code. A kitchen remodel in the wildland-urban interface can pull in requirements for fire-rated assemblies, ember-resistant materials, and clearance work around the home. We plan for that before the first cabinet gets ordered.
CGI Service in San Antonio Heights: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
San Antonio Heights is unincorporated county territory. That one fact reshapes every remodel we do here. When you live in the 91784 foothills, your permits route through San Bernardino County building-and-safety, not a city counter in CGI in Upland below. And because the whole community sits in a high fire-severity wildland-urban interface zone, a kitchen remodel often has to satisfy defensible-space requirements and fire-rated assembly standards that a flat-lot home in the city never triggers. A kitchen permit here isn’t just about cabinets and counters. It can pull in requirements for ignition-resistant siding, ember-resistant vents, and clearance around decks and outbuildings. That’s not red tape. That’s what keeps a canyon-edge street from burning. We’ve worked enough of these hillside remodels to know when the county inspector will want to see the drainage plan, when they’ll flag the old single-pane window over the sink, and when a retaining wall question turns a simple cabinet job into a structural conversation. That’s the San Antonio Heights reality. A general contractor who only builds kitchens on flat ground doesn’t know it.
CGI Models & Products We Service in San Antonio Heights
We install, CGI repair in Claremont, and reface the full spread of CGI product lines: Euro-style frameless full-overlay boxes, all-wood plywood-box shaker and slab door lines, raised-panel and thermofoil doors common in older foothill kitchens, and CGI quartz and granite countertop programs. When the line is still supported, we source genuine CGI replacement doors, hinges, and drawer hardware. When OEM parts are discontinued, we use quality aftermarket slides and levelers and tell you plainly what we’re doing and why. We’ll also be straight with you when a sound box is worth re-fronting versus when slope movement or water damage means replacement is the honest call. That’s the difference between a parts-swapper and a contractor who takes the whole house seriously.

FAQs – CGI Construction in San Antonio Heights
Are you an authorized CGI dealer or manufacturer affiliate?
No. San Bernardino Contractors is an independent general contractor. We install and service CGI products but we are not manufacturer-authorized, affiliated, or endorsed by CGI. We don’t pretend otherwise, and we don’t need to. Our working knowledge of their box construction, hardware, and finish lines comes from years of fitting them in real foothill homes, not from a certification.
Do you use genuine CGI replacement parts?
Yes, where the line is still supported. We source genuine CGI doors, hinges, and drawer hardware when they’re available. When OEM parts are discontinued – and CGI has discontinued some hinge and slide lines over the years – we use quality aftermarket hardware and tell you exactly what we’re installing and why.
How does slope drainage affect a CGI kitchen install on a canyon-edge lot?
When winter rain pushes water against a canyon-edge wall, the moisture seeps into the base cabinets from the toe kick and sink base. Particleboard cores swell and delaminate. That’s why we tie cabinet work into the drainage plan whenever a San Antonio Heights kitchen shows water damage. Fix the water first, then the cabinet. Call (855) 473-5620 if your lower cabinets feel swollen or soft near the floor.
Which CGI models do you service?
We work on CGI Euro-style frameless full-overlay cabinets, all-wood plywood-box shaker and slab lines, raised-panel and thermofoil doors, and CGI quartz and granite countertop programs. If you’re not sure what you have, take a few photos of the cabinet interiors and hinges – we can usually identify the line from the box construction and hardware.
How much does CGI cabinet repair cost in San Antonio Heights?
Simple hardware replacement – hinges, slides, drawer glides – typically runs $200 to $600 per cabinet depending on parts and access. Re-leveling a whole cabinet run that’s racked on a settled floor runs higher, often $1,000 to $3,000 depending on how far the floor has moved and how much re-shimming is needed. Re-facing a run of sound boxes with new doors and hardware typically costs between $4,000 and $13,000. Call (855) 473-5620 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
