CGI Construction in Pomona, CA | Gold Star Contractors
We provide independent CGI cabinet and countertop installation, repair, and refacing across Pomona. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different is that we already know what’s behind your walls: out-of-plumb framing, citrus-era plumbing, and floors that move with the seasons. So before a single cabinet box gets set, we’re checking what the last 70 years did to the structure it’ll sit on. Call (833) 382-8544 for a free estimate.
Why Pomona Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Most cabinet crews show up with a level and a prayer. In Pomona’s pre-1960 housing stock, that’s not enough. The bungalows and Spanish-revival cottages in the 91766 and 91767 ZIPs were framed when lumber was actual dimensional timber, and a century of thermal movement has pulled walls, floors, and openings out of square. We’ve spent years setting CGI cabinetry and countertops in exactly these houses, and we’ve learned that the install matters as much as the product — the same way our CGI repair in Montclair has taught us. Noel Carranza grew up watching older tract homes get renovated block by block, and he runs our multi-trade jobs the same way: figure out what the structure will actually accept, then make the finish work fit. You’re not getting a crew that only knows cabinets. You’re getting a general contractor who knows how the whole house works together.
When you call us about CGI sales & service, you’re talking to people who know the product lines, the hardware specs, and which repair actually makes sense on a Pomona house. We’re an independent contractor, not a manufacturer affiliate, so our recommendation is based on what’s right for your kitchen, not what moves inventory.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Pomona
- Peeling thermofoil and veneer on south- and west-facing kitchen walls. Pomona’s summer sun is relentless, and those walls bake all afternoon. CGI cabinet doors and drawer fronts with thermofoil or veneer wraps start to blister and separate after a few hard seasons. We can re-face those doors or replace them selectively, and we’ll tell you honestly which route will last longer than the other.
- Loose cam-lock and dowel joints on RTA cabinet boxes. Pier-and-beam floors in Pomona’s older core flex more than most people realize. Over time, that movement works the mechanical fasteners in ready-to-assemble CGI cabinet boxes until doors rack and drawers bind. We re-shim and re-square the boxes before we ever talk about replacing them.
- Swollen particleboard and MDF at the toe kick and under-sink base. Citrus-era galvanized plumbing sweats, and when it leaks, it leaks right into the cabinet base. We see it constantly in Pomona kitchens where the original supply lines are still in service. We fix the plumbing first, then assess whether the cabinet can be salvaged or needs a new base.
- Cracked quartz seams and backsplash joints over moving floors. Pomona’s shallow-slab and pier-and-beam foundations move with seasonal temperature swings. If a CGI countertop gets set without a stabilized substrate, the seams will telegraph that movement as cracks. We build the substrate right before the stone goes down.
- Racked doors on cabinets installed against unplumb walls. A wall that’s out by an inch doesn’t look like much until you hang a cabinet run on it. We shim, scribe, and sometimes re-frame the opening so the doors close square on day one and stay that way.
CGI Service in Pomona: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Pomona’s citrus- and rail-era rear alleys and detached garages were laid out for grove access, not for living space. So when homeowners convert those garages to ADUs or build rear-lot additions with a CGI kitchenette, the old framing and wiring behind the walls rarely passes modern inspection. We’ve lost count of the detached garages in the 91766 and 91767 core where knob-and-tube wiring and unplumbed studs were hiding behind drywall, ready to fail an electrical or structural review. That means the CGI cabinetry can’t be signed off until the garage gets a full panel upgrade and the walls are trued and braced. If you’re planning a garage-to-ADU conversion with a new CGI kitchen — or even a Los Serranos CGI service call — budget for the electrical and structural work up front. It’s not optional, and anyone who tells you otherwise hasn’t pulled a Pomona permit recently.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Pomona
We work on the full CGI product range: Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) kitchen cabinets, semi-custom shaker and raised-panel cabinet lines, quartz and granite countertop programs, and bathroom vanities with matching linen cabinet series. When a hinge or drawer slide wears out, we source CGI-compatible OEM hardware where it’s available. When OEM lead times stretch into weeks, we install quality aftermarket equivalents that match the original specs. We keep common hinge, slide, and shelf hardware on hand so most Pomona service calls don’t stall waiting on a parts order. For larger jobs, we’ll pull what’s needed before the crew arrives.

What drives the cost in Pomona isn’t usually the CGI product itself. It’s what we find once the old cabinets come out: framing that needs truing, plumbing that needs replacing, or a floor that needs leveling before new cabinets can sit flat. Your free estimate includes a look at all of that, so you’re not surprised later. Call (833) 382-8544 to schedule one.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Pomona
Yes, and it’s the kind of job we do regularly in the 91766 and 91767 ZIPs. The process starts with us mapping how far out of plumb each wall actually is, then building shim packs or re-framing openings so the cabinet run sits flat and the doors close square. On a 1920s Spanish-revival cottage near downtown Pomona, our crew tore out a swollen CGI base cabinet under a leaking galvanized sink line and found the wall behind it out of plumb by nearly an inch. We reframed and shimmed the opening, replaced the plumbing stub-out, and set a new CGI shaker cabinet run with a quartz top. The doors closed square on the first try. Call (833) 382-8544 for an exact quote on your house.
It depends on how far the delamination has spread and what the door substrate looks like underneath. If the peel is isolated to a few doors and the boxes are solid, re-facing or replacing just those fronts usually makes sense. If the veneer is lifting across an entire run and the door cores are swollen, replacement is the honest answer. We’ll show you the difference and price both options. Call (833) 382-8544 for a free assessment.
Yes. Pomona requires permits for garage-to-ADU conversions, and the existing garage’s electrical panel and framing almost always need upgrades before the finish work can be signed off. That includes any CGI cabinetry, countertops, and backsplash going into the new kitchenette. We pull permits on our projects and coordinate the inspections so the whole job moves as one sequence. Call (833) 382-8544 to talk through your garage.
We stabilize the substrate before the stone goes down. On a pier-and-beam Pomona house, that means checking the floor framing for deflection, adding blocking where it’s needed, and making sure the cabinet run is leveled and secured before templating. The countertop gets set on a flat, stable base, which is the only way to keep seasonal thermal movement from cracking the seams. Call (833) 382-8544 if you’re planning new counters over an older floor structure.
No. Gold Star Contractors is an independent general contractor, not affiliated with or authorized by CGI. We service and install CGI products because Pomona homeowners ask for them, and because we know the product lines well. We recommend what’s right for your kitchen, whether that’s a CGI repair, a partial replacement, or a full cabinet run.
