CGI Construction in Boulder Creek, CA | Timberline Contractors
We provide independent CGI cabinet and countertop service across Boulder Creek, from full kitchen replacements to refacing work on older mountain cabins. The single biggest difference here: every CGI project in 95006 has to be checked against CAL FIRE Chapter 7A ignition-resistant construction rules before we order a single door. Our crew reads the permit first and the cabinets second. Call (866) 253-5808 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through what your specific Boulder Creek lot actually triggers.
Why Boulder Creek Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve installed and serviced CGI cabinetry across the Santa Cruz Mountains for years, from CGI service in Ben Lomond to Boulder Creek, where steep lots keep us honest in ways a flat-lot job never does. Nelson Fung, our owner and general contractor, learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent years on remodels where the difference between a good job and a callback came down to substrate choices. That’s the lens we bring to every CGI box we set. We are not a CGI dealer or authorized service center. We’re an independent contractor that works with the product because it fits a lot of Boulder Creek kitchens, and because we know where it fails when mountain conditions get ignored.
Our CGI sales & service work covers Boulder Creek service area kitchens from design through install and long-term repair. When we price a CGI job here, we check the drainage, the crawlspace, the subfloor ventilation, and the permit triggers before we talk door styles. That sequencing matters more in this town than almost anywhere else we work.
Do it right the first time or explain yourself twice. Around here, the explaining usually involves a failed inspection and a cabinet order that has to wait six weeks for a redo.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Boulder Creek
- Swollen cabinet boxes and toe-kick rot. Boulder Creek’s redwood shade and winter rain keep crawlspaces and slabs damp. In older cabins with no subfloor ventilation, CGI particleboard-core boxes wick moisture and swell at the bottom edges. We see this most often in 1950s and 60s era cabins where a vapor barrier was never installed. The fix is not just new boxes; it’s addressing the moisture path first.
- Delaminating thermofoil and laminate doors. Seasonal humidity swings plus wood stoves and unvented kitchen heat cause CGI thermofoil doors to peel at the corners. Mid-century mountain homes with tight kitchens and wood heat are prime candidates. If the door faces are shot but the boxes are sound, refacing with new OEM CGI doors is usually the right call.
- Seizing drawer glides and corroded hinges. Elevated interior humidity during storm season gets into hardware. We see CGI drawer glides and hinges corrode faster in cabins that stay closed up through winter. Replacing seized originals with soft-close aftermarket glides is straightforward, and we stock common sizes for Boulder Creek turnarounds.
- Crumbling sink base and dishwasher bays. Aging plumbing in Boulder Creek runs supply lines through unheated crawlspaces. Slow leaks go unnoticed until the particleboard around the sink base has crumbled. We pull the damaged box, fix the leak, and rebuild with a properly shimmed CGI cabinet that stays off the slab.
- Layouts that conflict with WUI clearance. A kitchen remodel that touches exterior walls can trigger Chapter 7A requirements: Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, noncombustible siding or decking. We price that fire-hardening scope before CGI cabinet layout gets finalized, so you are not reordering cabinetry after the permit review.
CGI Service in Boulder Creek: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the reality that sets 95006 apart from neighboring mountain towns. In Boulder Creek, any kitchen remodel that touches exterior walls or requires a permit has to be checked for CAL FIRE Chapter 7A ignition-resistant construction standards before cabinets get ordered. On steep, forested parcels off Bear Creek Road or along Highway 9, a geotechnical report may also be required before any foundation work. That means CGI cabinet layout and installation sequencing often have to wait on fire-hardening scope that a CGI service in Lompico or flat-lot contractor never prices. We’ve seen permits where a simple cabinet swap triggered ember-resistant vent upgrades because the wall cavity was opened. We read the permit first, order the CGI boxes second. It protects your schedule and your inspection timeline.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Boulder Creek
We work with the three CGI lines most common in mountain kitchens: CGI ProCraft Shaker, CGI Signature Series Raised Panel, and CGI Designer Series Slab Door. ProCraft Shaker shows up often in newer Boulder Creek remodels and rental cabins; Signature Series Raised Panel in mid-century homes that have had one or two updates already. For repairs and refacing, we use OEM CGI doors, drawer fronts, and hardware when matching an existing kitchen. Where an original part is discontinued, we use quality aftermarket soft-close glides. We keep common hinge and glide sizes on hand for faster Felton CGI service and Boulder Creek calls, so a door that won’t close does not sit broken for three weeks waiting on a freight shipment.
Beyond cabinetry, our CGI-adjacent work includes quartz and granite countertops, backsplash installation, and kitchen design and layout. The countertop and cabinet decisions go together, especially when a WUI-triggered noncombustible backsplash is part of the scope.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Boulder Creek
Yes, if the project touches exterior walls or requires a permit. In 95006, Chapter 7A can trigger Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, or noncombustible siding requirements. We check this before ordering your CGI cabinets. Call (866) 253-5808 and we’ll review your specific parcel.
In most cases, yes. If the boxes are sound and only the doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are failing, refacing with OEM CGI doors is faster and costs less than a full tear-out. We’ll inspect the box structure first. Swollen or crumbling boxes mean replacement makes more sense.
Steep lots often require geotechnical review before foundation work, and access constraints can add material handling time. We plan cabinet delivery and staging around your driveway and terrain so the install crew is not hauling boxes up a slippery slope in the rain. The quote accounts for that.
The three we see and service most are ProCraft Shaker, Signature Series Raised Panel, and Designer Series Slab Door. We match existing lines for refacing and service work, and we order new accordingly for full remodels.
