CGI Construction in Sausalito, CA | Framework Contractors
We provide independent CGI cabinet, countertop, and vanity service across Sausalito, from hillside view homes above Bridgeway to waterfront cottages along Richardson Bay. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different is logistics: nearly every delivery is craned or hand-carried over neighboring roofs because there’s no staging space and no rear alley. We’re the crew that plans for that before the first box leaves the warehouse. Call (844) 681-3590 for a free estimate.
Why Sausalito Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Sausalito homeowners call us because we know CGI’s product lines the way a mechanic knows an engine, and we bring that expertise to every Tiburon CGI service we perform as well. We’ve installed and serviced CGI Ready-to-Assemble cabinet runs, semi-custom plywood-box lines, and their quartz and granite countertop programs in kitchens from the flats to the Headlands. Noel Carbajal, our owner, grew up learning finish work and framing the hard way, and he’s spent three decades figuring out what holds and what fails when salt air and slope movement are part of the job. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, so our recommendations are based on what actually works in a Sausalito kitchen, not what a corporate program tells us to push.
We keep OEM-compatible parts on hand for common CGI hardware issues and we’re straightforward about when a door can be refaced versus when a box has to go. That matters here. You don’t want to discover mid-project that a replacement door won’t match your existing run because nobody measured the turn at the bottom of your deck stairs.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Sausalito
- Thermofoil and laminate door skins delaminating at the edges. Salt air off Richardson Bay keeps kitchen walls humid year-round, and we regularly see CGI thermofoil doors peeling along the bottom edges in waterfront and hillside homes. The fix is usually new OEM doors, but only after we confirm the wall cavity isn’t wicking moisture behind the cabinet run.
- Particleboard and MDF box cores wicking moisture at toe kicks and sink bases. Many Sausalito homes sit on grade beams over damp crawlspaces, and we’ve pulled swollen boxes where winter rain crept in under poorly flashed deck doors. If the substrate is dry and the box is sound, we repair and reseal. If the core has swollen, full replacement is the honest call.
- Soft-close hinges and drawer glides corroding and losing adjustment. Salt air is brutal on metal hardware, especially on exterior walls facing the bay. We swap in aftermarket soft-close hinges and slides with better corrosion resistance when the OEM part is discontinued or underperforming in this climate.
- Quartz and granite seams opening on pier-and-grade-beam floors. Hillside foundations flex with seasonal moisture, and rigid seam joints can’t always follow. We set quartz and granite with flexible seam sealant and we shim the cabinet bases first so the stone isn’t fighting an out-of-level floor.
- Cabinet runs out of square on sloped lots. Floors in older Sausalito homes are rarely level, which throws the entire cabinet line off. We level and shim before we hang anything, because a square base is the difference between a kitchen that holds and one that sags in two years.
CGI Service in Sausalito: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing that most contractors don’t account for until it’s too late. On the steep streets above Bridgeway, like those winding up toward the Headlands, there is no rear alley and almost no street staging. Every CGI cabinet box, every quartz slab, every vanity has to be craned over a roofline or hand-carried between neighboring homes. We measure every stair turn, deck rail, gate, and clearance point before we order a single box. That changes how we specify a job: panel counts, box dimensions, even door swing direction get locked in early so nothing arrives that can’t physically reach the kitchen. A Sausalito General Contractor page might not tell you that. A generic CGI page won’t either.
Salt fog off the bay adds another layer: fasteners and hardware need to be marine-spec where possible, and seam sealant needs flex because the ground under these pier-and-grade-beam homes moves more than a slab-on-grade house ever will. Build it right the first time – the second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Sausalito
We work on CGI’s full cabinet range: Ready-to-Assemble all-wood lines common in mid-century and remodel-replace kitchens, semi-custom plywood-box cabinetry with soft-close hardware, and their bathroom vanity and linen cabinet collections. For countertops, we install and service CGI quartz and granite programs paired with their cabinet lines. Our parts approach is simple: we use CGI OEM doors, drawer fronts, and hardware when matching an existing run, and we switch to quality aftermarket soft-close hinges and slides where the OEM part is discontinued or where corrosion resistance matters more. We keep common CGI door profiles and hardware stocked locally so Sausalito turnaround doesn’t stall waiting on a freight shipment.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Sausalito
Yes, and we do it regularly. We measure every stair turn, deck rail, and gate before ordering, then bring boxes up by crane or hand-carry them between homes. It’s slower than a flat-lot delivery, but it’s the only way to get full-size cabinet boxes into kitchens on the steep streets above Bridgeway, just as we do for CGI repair in Belvedere. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll walk your access route during the free estimate.
The most common cause is salt air and marine fog keeping the wall cavity humid year-round, which attacks thermofoil and laminate edges where the skin is thinnest. We fix the moisture source first, then replace the doors with OEM or matched aftermarket skins. If we just slapped new doors on without addressing the damp, you’d be calling us again next winter.
Yes. Hillside foundations in Sausalito flex with seasonal moisture, so we set quartz and granite with flexible seam sealant and shim the cabinet bases level before the stone goes down. A rigid seam on a moving floor will open within a season or two. Call (844) 681-3590 for a quote on your specific kitchen.
Yes, we pull permits and coordinate inspections as part of the job. Sausalito’s hillside and waterfront building rules are strict, and we’d rather have the paperwork done right than have a remodel flagged later. The permit line item shows up in your written estimate.
We service and match existing CGI runs even if we didn’t do the original install. We’ll match door profiles and finishes as closely as the OEM catalog allows, and we’ll tell you honestly if a discontinued finish means a full reface makes more sense than trying to match one door. Estimates are free: (844) 681-3590.
