CGI Construction in San Bernardino, CA | Mason Remodeling
We provide independent CGI cabinet installation and repair across San Bernardino, and the one thing that sets our work apart here is honesty about the climate: triple-digit summers are not kind to particleboard, and we plan for it from the first measurement. If you’re north of the 210, up toward Verdemont, or down in the flats near downtown, we know the houses and we know the failure patterns. Call (803) 680-2547 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why San Bernardino Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve installed and repaired CGI cabinetry in hundreds of Inland Empire kitchens, and we’ve learned the hard way which joints hold and which doors drift when the temperature swings forty degrees between dawn and three o’clock. Isaac Pruett, our owner, grew up watching his finish-carpenter father check every trim line twice, and that habit stuck. Every crew member who steps onto your San Bernardino property is background-checked, uniformed, and introduced by name and photo before they arrive. You’ll see a photo ID badge at the door. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means we can tell you straight when a door is worth saving and when the box underneath is done. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every installation: if the work isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in San Bernardino
- Thermofoil peeling above the stove or dishwasher. San Bernardino’s dry heat doesn’t sound humid, but every pot of boiling water and every dishwasher steam cycle sends moisture straight up into the cabinet doors. The thermofoil lifts, wrinkles, and eventually peels off in sheets. We replace the damaged doors and, where the layout allows, add a heat shield behind the range.
- Particleboard core swelling at the sink base. A slow drip from a P-trap or disposal connection goes unnoticed for months, and by the time you see the base swelling, the core has crumbled. In San Bernardino, summer temperatures accelerate the damage once moisture gets in. We remove the cabinet, assess the structural integrity, and rebuild or replace based on what we find.
- Warped doors and frames in garages and laundry rooms. Uninsulated spaces east of the 215 regularly exceed 100°F from June through September. CGI doors and frames in those rooms warp and twist from the expansion-contraction cycle. We re-shim, re-align, and where the material is too far gone, replace with properly sealed components.
- Weak drawer glides and stripped hinge screws. Family kitchens in San Bernardino get heavy daily use, and the temperature swings loosen what the kids yank open twice a day. We upgrade to Blum or equivalent hardware that meets or exceeds the original CGI spec, and we re-anchor stripped screw holes with proper fillers instead of toothpicks and glue.
- Finish cracking on painted CGI doors. The arid air and UV exposure through unshaded kitchen windows cause painted finishes to micro-crack within a few summers. We match and refinish where possible, and recommend refacing with new CGI doors when the substrate has failed.
CGI Service in San Bernardino: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
San Bernardino sits in a rain shadow, so homeowners here think moisture isn’t a problem. That’s true for the yard, but not for the kitchen. The real issue is the swing: nights in the low sixties, afternoons at 105, day after day from May to October. Wood-based cabinet cores expand and contract more in San Bernardino than they do in coastal markets like Long Beach or Oceanside, and that movement is what pulls door hinges out of alignment and cracks painted finishes along the frame edges. In Del Rosa, Verdemont, and the neighborhoods off Kendall Drive, we routinely see CGI cabinets that were installed in the 1990s and held up fine for years, then started drifting when the heat waves got more sustained. We correct door misalignment with heat-resistant shims and use flexible sealants on frame joints so the wood has room to move without splitting. That’s not a generic fix. It’s specific to how cabinets behave in this valley.
In the Del Rosa neighborhood, we recently refaced a 1990s CGI EuroCraft kitchen where the thermofoil had peeled off the upper cabinets above the stove. We replaced the damaged doors with matching CGI EuroCraft slabs, installed new Blum hinges, and added a heat shield behind the range to prevent future peeling. The homeowner was thrilled with the refreshed look and the added durability.
CGI Models & Products We Service in San Bernardino
We service all major CGI cabinet lines: the EuroCraft Series, ProCraft Series, Summit Series, and Select Series. From a CGI sales & service standpoint, our approach leans on OEM parts first. We source genuine CGI replacement doors, drawer fronts, and hardware whenever the manufacturer still lists them, because a matching finish matters more than saving twenty dollars on a look-alike door. When CGI has discontinued a line, we use high-quality aftermarket hinges and slides that meet or exceed the original spec. For San Bernardino turnaround, we keep common Blum hinges, drawer glides, and thermofoil touch-up kits on our trucks, so most repairs don’t wait on a parts order. If the cabinet box is structurally sound, we reface or replace only damaged components. If the core is swollen or crumbling, we recommend full replacement with a new CGI line or a comparable brand, and we’ll give you a written price before you decide.

FAQs – CGI Construction in San Bernardino
Yes, in most cases we can replace only the damaged doors if the cabinet boxes are structurally sound and you can live with a close-enough finish match. If the boxes are swollen or the frames have pulled apart, refacing becomes the better value. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you which situation you’re in, in plain terms, after a free look.
The expansion and contraction from hot days and cool nights causes doors to drift out of alignment, hinges to loosen, and painted finishes to crack along frame edges. Garages and laundry rooms are the worst because they’re often uninsulated. We use heat-resistant shims and flexible sealants to correct and prevent the movement. If you’re seeing doors that won’t stay shut, call us at (803) 680-2547 for an assessment.
We use genuine CGI replacement doors, drawer fronts, and hardware whenever the parts are still available from the manufacturer. When CGI has discontinued a line, we source high-quality aftermarket hinges and slides that meet or exceed the original specification. We’re independent, so we’ll tell you exactly what we’re using and why.

We can, but the fix depends on how far the damage goes. If the core has just started to swell from a sink leak, we remove the cabinet, dry it out, repair the leak, and reinstall. If the particleboard has crumbled, the cabinet box needs replacement. Either way, we’ll show you the damage before we quote anything. Call (803) 680-2547.
