CGI Construction in Bloomington, CA | Framework Contractors
We provide independent CGI cabinet and countertop installation, refacing, and repair across Bloomington’s 92316 ZIP. We’re not an authorized CGI dealer, and we say that before anything else because it matters. What makes our CGI work different here is simple: we know how these cabinets fail in Bloomington specifically, and we know the county permitting path that goes with them. For a free estimate, call (844) 681-3590.
Why Bloomington Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI’s all-plywood shaker boxes and thermofoil door lines show up constantly in Bloomington’s 1940s through 1970s stucco tract homes and owner-built additions. We have installed, refaced, and repaired enough of them to know exactly how they behave when a slab shifts, a Santa Ana wind event bakes the exterior wall, or a sink base sits on a slab with no moisture barrier. Noel Carbajal, our owner, grew up patching stucco and reroofing porches in Santa Ana before studying construction at Santiago Canyon College. Three decades of that work teaches you to spot the cabinet install that was shimmed onto a bowed wall versus one that was furred out properly. When Bloomington homeowners call us about CGI cabinets, they get that experience, not a parts-swap guess. We stock OEM-compatible hinges, glides, and door stock for common CGI lines, and we know which repairs hold and which ones just delay a box replacement. Our CGI sales & service work is independent, never manufacturer-affiliated, and never authorized.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Bloomington
- Thermofoil and laminate door skins peeling at the edges. Bloomington sits in the hot, dry Rialto-Colton basin, and the summer heat cycling against a west-facing kitchen wall stresses thermofoil edges until the skin lifts. We see this on runs that sit unshaded against an exterior wall, where the door heats up daily.
- Swollen sink base and dishwasher opening case boxes. Older Bloomington homes often have slabs with no moisture barrier. A slow drain leak that would just puddle on concrete wicks straight into particleboard or MDF case material. By the time the door looks off, the box may already be soft.
- Doors and drawer fronts out of alignment. Expansive clay soils in parts of the 92316 area move slabs seasonally. Over time, cabinet runs rack, and fronts that looked fine at install start catching. We level and re-shim where the boxes are sound.
- Hinge and drawer-glide hardware stripped out of screw holes. We find this a lot in houses where cabinets were hung directly on bowed or patched studs. The installer shimmed the face, but the hinge screws only caught the shim, not the framing. It holds until someone leans on a drawer.
- Countertops cracked over failed boxes or shifted slabs. A quartz or granite top is only as flat as what it sits on. When the floor moves or a cabinet case swells, the top flexes, and a seam opens or a corner cracks. We replace the box before we set a new top.
CGI Service in Bloomington: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Bloomington is unincorporated San Bernardino County territory, so every cabinet or countertop job we permit is pulled through San Bernardino County Building and Safety rather than a city counter. That matters more than most residents expect. When county plan check opens a file on an older 92316 property, it routinely surfaces a decades-old unpermitted garage conversion or added room attached to the same kitchen we are about to re-cabinet. Our CGI layout and cabinet order often has to wait on an as-built survey and legalization before finish work starts. On a mid-century stucco home off Valley Blvd, our crew opened a CGI kitchen remodel and found the “breakfast nook” was a converted garage bay with no insulation in the exterior wall and a slab with no moisture barrier under the sink run. The original CGI thermofoil uppers had peeled at the door edges and the sink base case had swollen, so we furred and shimmed the run plumb, swapped in moisture-rated boxes with soft-close hardware, and set new quartz before the county inspection cleared. Because the conversion was unpermitted, we documented the as-built conditions so the homeowner could legalize the room alongside the kitchen permit. This is Bloomington-specific work. A generic CGI installer who only hangs boxes won’t know to look for the unpermitted addition behind the kitchen wall, and the county inspector absolutely will find it.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Bloomington
We install and repair CGI’s Ready-to-Assemble all-plywood shaker cabinets, the semi-custom painted and thermofoil door lines, and the quartz and granite countertop programs, plus their vanity and bath cabinet lines. Our parts approach is straightforward: we match OEM CGI doors, hinges, and glides where the original line is still supported, and we use quality aftermarket hardware, soft-close hinges, full-extension glides, and moisture-resistant box upgrades, where OEM is discontinued or the OEM part is the weak point in a Bloomington kitchen. We keep the common soft-close hinge and glide stock on hand locally, which means no two-week wait for a replacement part on a one-cabinet repair. Our honest rule on repair versus replace: reface and re-hardware when the boxes are solid and only the fronts and hardware have failed. Replace the boxes when the case material has swollen or the cabinet has racked off-level. New doors on a failed box just fail again, and that’s money wasted.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Bloomington
Do I need a San Bernardino County permit to replace CGI cabinets in Bloomington? Yes. Bloomington is unincorporated county territory, so cabinet replacement that involves new electrical runs, a changed sink location, or structural work pulls through San Bernardino County Building and Safety rather than a city department. A simple door-and-drawer-front swap usually does not. Call (844) 681-3590 and we can tell you which bucket your project falls into.
My Bloomington kitchen has an old garage conversion behind it – does that stop a CGI cabinet install? It can. If the conversion was unpermitted, county plan check may require an as-built survey and legalization before finish work proceeds on the adjoining kitchen. We have handled this on Valley Blvd jobs and we document the as-built conditions ourselves so the legalization process moves faster, and we offer CGI repair in Glen Avon for similar unincorporated county properties.
Why are my CGI thermofoil cabinet doors peeling in this heat? Thermofoil doors peel when heat cycling breaks the adhesive bond between the film and the door core. In Bloomington’s dry Inland Empire summers, a west-facing cabinet run against an unshaded exterior wall cooks every afternoon. Once peeling starts, the fix is new doors, not glue. Call us for a door-and-hardware estimate.
The floor under my Bloomington kitchen cabinets is uneven – will new CGI cabinets sit level? Not unless the installer shims and furrs the run properly. Expansive clay movement and decades of settling leave slabs out of level throughout 92316. We level every cabinet run before hanging doors, which is the difference between fronts that line up for years and fronts that start catching after one season.
Can I get a CGI quartz countertop over cabinets that got wet near the sink? Only if the boxes are still sound. If the sink base case has swollen from a slab leak, a new quartz top will sit on a compromised box and fail again. We check the case material first, replace what’s soft, and then set the top. We also provide CGI service in Pedley. Call (844) 681-3590 for a free estimate.
