AfterCGI Construction in San Bernardino, CA | Penhallow Remodeling
We’re an independent General Contractor in San Bernardino providing CGI cabinet, countertop, and vanity installation, repair, and refacing across the area. We work with CGI products every week, but we’re not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means our recommendations come from field experience, not a sales mandate. What makes our CGI work different here is that we understand what the 2012-2017 bankruptcy years left behind: a lot of unpermitted, unanchored cabinet and countertop installs that now need correcting. Call (936) 259-2607 for a free estimate.
Why San Bernardino Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Trevor Nash, our owner, spent nearly two decades working residential projects across Southern California, from Craftsman bungalows to hillside foundations. He started Penhallow Remodeling because he kept seeing homeowners handed vague estimates and vaguer timelines. The CGI work we do in San Bernardino follows that same rule: a written price before we pick up a tool, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. If a cabinet door delaminates or a seam cracks inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Our team knows the CGI product lines well: the Prelude and Aspire cabinet series, the quartz and granite countertop collections, the Stratus and Vessel vanity lines. We install them, we repair them, and we reface them. When you call, a live person answers. No voicemail maze. CGI sales & service is core to what we do, and San Bernardino homeowners call us because we show up in the window we gave, leave the job site cleaner than we found it, and stand behind what we build.
Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in San Bernardino
- Warped cabinet doors and drawer fronts from inland heat. San Bernardino summers routinely cross 110°F with single-digit humidity. CGI wood doors on west-facing kitchen windows take direct afternoon sun for hours. We see joint separation and warping regularly. Fixing it means either new doors matched to the existing finish or, when the boxes themselves have moved, a full replacement with reinforced construction.
- Quartz countertop cracks at seams and overhangs. CGI quartz expands and contracts with thermal swings, and in the San Bernardino basin those swings are harsh. If a countertop was laid over an inadequately supported substrate, the seam or overhang fails. We rebuild the support, then repair or replace the affected section.
- Vanity finish blistering in poorly ventilated bathrooms. Many older San Bernardino homes, especially in the central and west neighborhoods, have undersized or missing exhaust fans. That trapped moisture attacks CGI vanity finishes. We replace the failing piece, and we tell you what ventilation upgrade prevents it from happening again.
- Corroded or binding hinges and drawer glides. Foothill winds push dust into homes near Muscoy and the Highland border. That fine grit works its way into cabinet hardware. We replace worn glides and hinges with quality components, often from Richelieu or Blum, and realign doors so they close without binding.
- Unanchored cabinets and countertops from the bankruptcy era. Between 2012 and 2017, code enforcement in San Bernardino was essentially frozen. A lot of CGI cabinetry was hung without proper wall anchoring, and a lot of countertops went in without seismic bracing. We correct all of it during remodels, bringing installations up to current California Building Code.
CGI Service in San Bernardino: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most contractors working San Bernardino won’t tell you: the city’s bankruptcy didn’t just slow down city services, it froze code enforcement for years. During that window, a lot of San Bernardino Bathroom Remodeling and kitchen work was done fast, without permits, without inspections. We walk into homes near Baseline and Mt. Vernon all the time where CGI cabinets are hanging on drywall with no stud anchoring, or quartz tops are sitting on shimmed cardboard instead of proper substrate. That’s not a manufacturer defect, that’s an installation defect. And it’s fixable. When we do a CGI replacement or repair in San Bernardino, we check every cabinet run for stud anchoring, every countertop for proper support, and every vanity for secure mounting. Because in a city that sits this close to the San Andreas Fault, those details aren’t optional. They’re what keeps the whole kitchen on the wall.
CGI Models & Products We Service in San Bernardino
We work across the full CGI range. The Prelude Series cabinets, known for clean lines and modular flexibility. The Aspire Series, built with heavier construction and suited to full kitchen overhauls. CGI Quartz and Granite countertop collections, where the stone meets the substrate. And the Stratus and Vessel vanity lines for bathroom work. San Bernardino service area coverage means we carry common CGI hardware and touch-up materials locally, so turnaround on a hinge replacement or door adjustment is measured in days, not weeks. When a line is discontinued and genuine CGI parts are gone, we use aftermarket components from Richelieu and Blum that match or outlast the originals. If repair costs would exceed half the price of replacement, we’ll tell you to put that money toward a new CGI line instead of chasing obsolete parts.

FAQs – CGI Construction in San Bernardino
Yes, we can replace just the doors and drawer fronts if the cabinet boxes are still square and the frames are solid. If the boxes themselves have warped from San Bernardino’s heat, or if the install was never properly anchored, a full replacement is the better investment. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll tell you which path makes sense.
Small cracks can often be filled and color-matched, but the real question is what caused the crack. If the substrate underneath is unsupported, any repair will fail again. We fix the support first, then repair or replace the affected section. Call (936) 259-2607 for an assessment, estimates are free.
Yes. Many older San Bernardino buildings along E Street and Baseline have brick or concrete-block walls, and anchoring cabinets to them requires specific fasteners and sometimes epoxy-set anchors. We do that work and pull the permits when required.
Sustained 110°F summers with low humidity accelerate finish checking, joint separation, and in some cases adhesive breakdown. Cabinets facing west or near unshaded windows take the worst of it. We recommend installing UV-filtering window coverings or using a light-colored finish if the cabinets will get direct sun.
Matching depends on the stone’s batch and how long it’s been exposed to San Bernardino’s sun. Granite and quartz colors can shift slightly between production runs. We’ll pull a sample from your existing top and check it against current CGI stock, then tell you honestly if a clean match is possible or if full replacement makes more sense. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll walk you through it.
