CGI Construction in Lompico, CA | Seaside Contractors
We provide independent CGI cabinet and vanity service across Lompico, from ready-to-assemble kitchen lines to all-wood bath series. What makes our work here different is simple: we know how these products fail in redwood-shaded, damp canyons and we know what Santa Cruz County wants before you’ll get a permit. Seaside Contractors handles CGI installation, refacing, and repair throughout the 95005 ZIP. Call (833) 589-8103 for a free estimate.
We’re an independent contractor, not authorized or endorsed by CGI. But we’ve spent decades working with their cabinetry in the San Lorenzo Valley, and that hands-on experience is what homeowners call us for. Whether you’re refacing a kitchen off Zayante Road or replacing a water-damaged vanity in a 1970s cabin, we’ll match the product to the conditions, not the other way around.
Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Lompico’s housing stock runs heavily to mid-century and 1970s-80s redwood-country cabins, many owner-built and added onto over the years. That means we see a lot of CGI cabinetry that was installed decades ago and has been fighting canyon damp ever since. Our crew knows the failure patterns: swollen particleboard cores, delaminating door skins, corroded soft-close hardware. When the boxes are still solid, we repair with OEM-compatible parts and matched finishes. When they’re not, we tell you straight and recommend plywood-core replacements that’ll hold up in this microclimate.
Glen Sorrento, our owner, grew up watching lagoon-side homes in Foster City get built and rebuilt, then studied building construction technology at College of San Mateo before spending two-plus decades working through nearly every project type the Peninsula throws at a contractor. He treats readers and clients the same way: like adults who can handle real tradeoff information. That’s the tone you’ll get from our entire team on every Lompico job.
We’re not a specialty cabinet shop. We’re a full-scope general contractor, which matters when your CGI in Brookdale kitchen remodel also needs structural work, a new exhaust fan, or a bathroom reconfiguration that triggers septic review. One contractor. Every trade. That’s the point of calling us.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Swollen and delaminating cabinet boxes. Lompico’s redwood-shade damp hits north-facing walls hard. Particleboard cores absorb that moisture and doors stop closing square. We see this constantly in older cabins where ventilation was an afterthought. If the box is still structurally sound, we’ll replace doors and drawer fronts. If it’s gone soft, we’ll tell you before you spend money on repairs that won’t last.
- Sagging particleboard shelving. Winter humidity spikes in the canyon, and particleboard shelves under heavy dish loads start to bow. Doors misalign, drawers stick, and the whole cabinet looks tired. We replace shelving with plywood-core material when we’re already in there, which costs a little more and lasts years longer.
- Blistered factory finishes near showers and tubs. CGI vanity finishes peel and blister when moisture is constant and the exhaust fan is undersized, which describes a lot of Lompico bathrooms. The fix isn’t just a new vanity. It’s a properly sized exhaust fan and sealed wall behind the unit. We’ll spec both.
- Corroded soft-close hinges and drawer glides. Unheated cabins with seasonal condensation are rough on hardware. Soft-close mechanisms seize, drawers grind, hinges develop surface rust. We stock replacement hardware that fits CGI’s mounting patterns, so turnaround on Lompico jobs is faster than you’d expect.
- Water-damaged vanity boxes. A 1970s redwood cabin off Zayante Road had a particleboard CGI vanity box that had swollen from years of shower steam, with peeling door finish and soft spots we could push a finger through. We replaced it with a CGI all-wood vanity, added a properly sized exhaust fan, and sealed the wall behind the unit. No more soft spots, no more sticking drawers.
CGI Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something flat-lot suburban projects never face. Because Lompico lots were often subdivided informally on private wells and septic, any CGI repair in Felton or bath remodel that adds square footage or fixtures may require a percolation test and well-yield verification before Santa Cruz County will issue a permit. That’s not a cabinet problem. It’s a Lompico problem. Add a kitchen island with a prep sink and you’ve added a fixture, which means the county wants to know your septic can handle it. Expand a bathroom for a double vanity and you’re triggering the same review. We coordinate that paperwork before we order a single cabinet door, because finding out after demo that your permit’s held up on a perc test is an expensive way to learn the rule. If you’re on Lompico Canyon Road or up one of the private drives off Zayante, this is your reality. We plan for it from day one.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Lompico
We service the full CGI residential range: Ready-to-Assemble Kitchen Cabinets, the All-Wood Bath Vanity Series, Euro-style Frameless Cabinets, and the Semi-Custom Shaker Door Line. For repair work, we use OEM replacement doors, drawer fronts, and hardware when the cabinet boxes are solid, because matching the original finish and profile keeps the kitchen cohesive. When boxes are swollen or water-damaged, we recommend upgrading to plywood-core construction rather than chasing repairs that won’t survive another Lompico winter. We keep common CGI hardware and touch-up finishes in stock for faster turnaround across 95005. See our CGI sales & service page for the full scope of what we handle.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Lompico
Only if your remodel adds square footage or plumbing fixtures, like a new prep sink in an island or a second bathroom vanity. Lompico’s private septic systems mean Santa Cruz County wants percolation and well-yield verification before issuing permits on those jobs. A straight cabinet swap with no footprint or fixture change usually doesn’t trigger it. We’ll tell you early whether your project does. Call (833) 589-8103 and we’ll scope it before you spend a dollar on materials.
It’s almost always moisture. Lompico’s canyon setting means heavy winter rain, redwood-shade damp, and homes that don’t get enough airflow. Particleboard cores absorb that humidity, doors misalign, and drawers start to stick. For CGI in Mount Hermon, we’ll assess whether the boxes are still sound. We’ll assess whether the boxes are still sound. If they are, we repair. If they’re not, we replace with plywood-core construction built for this climate.
Yes, when the cabinet line is still in production and the finish hasn’t been discontinued, we order OEM doors and drawer fronts to match the original profile and color. If the line’s been retired, we’ll match as closely as the finish options allow and tell you honestly if a full reface makes more sense than a partial patch.
Santa Cruz County’s fire-safe building codes and defensible-space requirements apply to the structure, not the cabinets inside it. But if your remodel includes exterior walls, ventilation changes, or any structural work, those items have to meet current fire-safety standards. We pull permits and handle that compliance as part of the job.
In Lompico, expect $3,000 to $10,000 depending on size, whether you’re adding plumbing, and whether the subfloor needs reinforcement for the island’s weight. A prep sink triggers the septic review I mentioned above, which adds time and possibly cost. Call (833) 589-8103 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
