Montclair CGI service is nearby, but CGI cabinets show up in Pomona homes more than most people realize. The Ready-to-Assemble Shaker lines and Semi-Custom Maple series were popular choices during the 2005-2015 renovation wave, which means they’re hitting their second decade right as Pomona’s pre-1940s housing stock needs serious kitchen updates. We’ve rebuilt CGI drawer boxes in kitchens where the original particleboard has turned to oatmeal under the sink, and we’ve scribed CGI face frames to walls that were never plumb to begin with. That combination - brand-specific product knowledge plus local construction reality - is what this page is for.

Why Trust Rowan Construction Group Pomona for Your CGI Construction?

Grant Rowan trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before the first callus hardened, then spent years watching older relatives patch, pour, and frame their way through weekend projects in Los Angeles. That background shows in how our crew handles CGI installations in Pomona’s older homes. We don’t assume walls are square. We check with a level, shim where the 1920s plaster bulges, and document the condition with photos before we hang the first cabinet. The photo record goes to the customer, not into a black hole.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and a live person answers calls 24/7. More importantly for CGI work, we know the product lines: RTA Shaker, Semi-Custom Maple and Oak, Thermofoil doors, and the bathroom vanity series. We stock OEM-compatible hinges, drawer slides, and shelf pins for fast turnaround, but we’ll also spec higher-cycle aftermarket soft-close hardware when it outlasts the original component. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone picks up a tool. Under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, if it is not done right, we make it right. Measure twice, then we can talk.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Fix in Pomona

• Particleboard core swelling around sink bases and dishwasher openings. CGI’s RTA and some Semi-Custom lines use particleboard cores that turn to crumbly mush when slow leaks go unnoticed. In Pomona’s older homes with original galvanized plumbing, we see this constantly - the leak drips for months, the cabinet floor bows, and the customer notices only when the toe-kick molding pops loose. We cut out the damaged bottom, sister in marine-grade plywood, and seal the new substrate before reinstalling.
• Thermofoil door skins peeling at edges near heat sources. CGI Thermofoil (TF) doors delaminate where steam from dishwashers and stovetops attacks the adhesive. The eastern San Gabriel Valley heat doesn’t help - a kitchen without proper ventilation can hit 95°F ambient in summer, accelerating the failure. We replace damaged doors with matching CGI maple fronts when available, or source compatible RTF (rigid thermofoil) alternatives that hold up better to thermal cycling.
• Drawer box joints separating and bottom panels sagging. CGI’s original drawer boxes use stapled butt joints and 1/4″ hardboard bottoms. Load them with cast-iron cookware and they surrender. We rebuild with 1/2″ Baltic birch plywood boxes, dovetail or locking rabbet joints, and full-extension Blum soft-close slides rated for 75-pound dynamic load. The drawer now holds what you actually cook with.
• Face frames cracking or hinges pulling out on uneven walls. Pomona’s pre-1940s homes have walls that were never framed to modern tolerances. Install CGI cabinets flat to the wall without shimming, and the face frame takes the stress. Hinge screws strip out. Frames crack at the joints. We use laser levels, custom scribe fillers, and sometimes sister new framing behind the plaster to create a true mounting surface. The cabinets sit flush and level, and the hardware stays put.
• Sink base cabinets failing at the false-front drawer. CGI’s sink base design includes a false-front drawer that many homeowners mistake for functional storage. The clips break, the front sags, and the plumbing access panel behind it warps from moisture. We replace the clip hardware with heavy-duty versions and upgrade the access panel to moisture-resistant MDF where code allows.

CGI Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach

We source OEM hinges, drawer slides, and shelf pins for CGI cabinets when the parts are still in production. For discontinued lines, we cross-reference dimensions and spec compatible hardware from Blum, Salice, or Grass that often exceeds the original cycle rating. The decision between repair and replace is straightforward: if the box is structurally sound and the damage is localized to doors, drawers, or hardware, we repair. If particleboard cores are swollen, multiple boxes are compromised, or the customer wants a layout change that CGI’s modular sizes can’t accommodate, we quote replacement.

A homeowner near downtown Pomona had CGI thermofoil cabinets with peeling door edges and a sagging drawer stack next to the range. We replaced the damaged doors with matching CGI maple fronts, rebuilt the drawer boxes with plywood and Blum soft-close slides, and scribed the frames to the 1940s walls before installing quartz counters. The kitchen now functions like new without a full gut, and the cabinets sit flush and level. For an honest assessment of your CGI cabinets, call (626) 606-1081. Estimates are free.

Our CGI Service Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Diagnosis with documentation. We arrive with a level, moisture meter, and camera. We photograph existing CGI cabinet conditions - hinge screw engagement, drawer slide mount integrity, substrate moisture readings - and deliver the photo record to you before we leave. No surprises, no “trust us.”
2. 2
   Written scope and price. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, you receive a flat written price with line-item materials and labor, plus a written warranty. No work proceeds without your signature. No change proceeds without a signed change order.
3. 3
   Repair or installation with OEM-compatible parts. We stock CGI-compatible hardware locally for fast turnaround. For installations in Pomona’s older homes, we bring shims, scribe fillers, and sometimes sister lumber to address out-of-plumb walls before the first cabinet goes up.
4. 4
   Functional testing and final documentation. Every drawer is loaded and cycled. Every door is checked for reveal consistency. We photograph the completed work and deliver the final photo record with your warranty documentation.

CGI Products We Service & Install in Pomona

We work with CGI Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) Shaker-style kitchen cabinets, CGI Semi-Custom Maple and Oak cabinet lines, CGI Thermofoil (TF) cabinet doors, and CGI Bathroom Vanity and linen cabinet series. For Pomona’s intense inland heat and UV exposure - and for those seeking CGI in San Dimas as well - we typically steer customers away from thermofoil for south-facing kitchens and toward painted maple or oak doors that won’t delaminate. We stock compatible hardware and keep common CGI door sizes in our supplier pipeline for faster turnaround on repairs and refacing projects.

We Also Service These Brands

Rowan Construction Group Pomona sources across fifty-plus vetted brands. For cabinetry, we also work with KraftMaid and Wellborn. For countertops, we install Cambria, Caesarstone, and Silestone quartz, plus natural granite. For fixtures, we specify Kohler and Toto. Our multi-brand depth means the written quote contains honest numbers, not inflated single-source pricing.
