CGI Construction in Lompico, CA | Timberline Contractors
We handle CGI cabinet and countertop work across Lompico General Contractor canyon homes, from full kitchen remodels to refacing, repair, and quartz or granite installation. What shapes our CGI work here more than anything else is access: Lompico Road’s single-lane stretches and steep private driveways force delivery logistics that flatland contractors never think about. If you’re planning CGI cabinets or countertops in the 95005, call (866) 253-5808 and we’ll talk through what your site actually needs.
Timberline Contractors is an independent construction firm, not a CGI authorized dealer. We’ve installed and repaired their Euro-style frameless cabinets, Shaker lines, and quartz and granite tops on enough mountain remodels to know what holds up in Lompico and what fights the canyon. That’s the difference between a contractor who orders CGI and one who understands how it performs in redwood shade and winter storms.
Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We know CGI’s cabinet lines the way a mechanic knows a specific engine family. Euro-style frameless boxes, Shaker faces, the particleboard cores, the hinge and slide hardware, the countertop profiles: we’ve seen all of it fail in specific ways and we’ve seen all of it work beautifully when installed with Lompico’s conditions in mind. That knowledge matters when you’re deciding whether to repair swollen boxes or replace them with plywood-core upgrades.
Nelson Fung, our owner and general contractor, learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent years on remodels from Eastside bungalows to mid-size commercial builds before Timberline started work in the Santa Cruz Mountains. He’s the kind of contractor who will tell you exactly where a cheaper option makes sense and where it’ll cost you twice in three years. That candor shows up in our CGI sales & service work, because we’d rather explain a material choice once than redo it after the first wet winter.
We carry OEM-compatible parts for common CGI hardware failures and we know which aftermarket replacements actually match. When you live off a steep Lompico driveway, you don’t want a contractor who has to learn your cabinet hardware on the job.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Swollen and delaminating cabinet boxes. Lompico’s redwood and tanoak canopy keeps walls damp for months at a time. Original CGI particleboard-core boxes, especially on exterior walls or beside plumbing runs, absorb that moisture and swell. We see doors that won’t close, boxes that pull away from the wall, and faces that blister. The fix is often replacing affected boxes with plywood-core construction and adding a vapor barrier where the wall never dries.
- Hairline cracks in quartz and granite tops. Older Lompico cabins sit on pier-and-beam foundations that flex with seasonal soil movement on steep slopes. A rigid stone top over a moving floor will crack, especially on long runs and at sink cutouts. We level the cabinet run, reinforce the substrate, and use flexible adhesive where the floor movement is persistent.
- Corroded hinges and binding slides. Year-round humidity means CGI hinges and drawer slides on south-facing walls that never dry out will eventually corrode or bind. OEM replacement parts keep the fit, and we keep the common failure parts on hand for faster Lompico turnaround.
- Failed backsplash seams and countertop joints. Mid-century owner-built homes shift. When wall framing behind CGI cabinets moves even slightly, tile grout cracks and countertop seams open. We address the framing issue before re-setting stone or re-grouting, because sealing a seam over a moving wall just schedules the next failure.
- Delivery-triggered scheduling delays. This one isn’t a product failure, but it derails more CGI projects than any material defect. Standard delivery trucks can’t climb many Lompico driveways. We stage deliveries at the bottom and shuttle materials up in smaller loads, or arrange a box truck with a lift gate that actually fits the pullout.
CGI Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Lompico Road from the Zayante side winds through single-lane stretches with tight pullouts, and the private driveways branching off it climb steep grades with sharp switchbacks. A 26-foot box truck will not make it up most of those drives. That means CGI cabinet and countertop deliveries here have to be planned around smaller trucks or staged at the driveway base and carried or shuttled up in manageable loads. This logistics step rarely affects jobs in CGI repair in Felton or Scotts Valley, and it’s the first thing we map out on any Lompico project. A full kitchen’s worth of CGI cabinets arrives in dozens of boxes. Moving that material up a 400-foot slope with a 15% grade is not a two-man afternoon job. We build that time into the schedule from the first site visit, so your remodel doesn’t stall waiting for a truck that was never going to fit.
We worked a kitchen remodel off Lompico Road where the original CGI frameless cabinets had swollen and delaminated from years of canyon damp, and the quartz counters had cracked over a flexing pier-and-beam floor. Our crew replaced the boxes with plywood-core CGI cabinets, re-set the countertops on a leveled substrate, and added a vapor barrier behind the wall cabinets. The homeowner now has a kitchen that handles the moisture instead of fighting it. That’s the kind of fix Lompico specifically requires.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Lompico
We install, repair, and reface CGI’s Euro-style frameless cabinets and their Shaker cabinet line. On the countertop side, we work with CGI quartz and CGI granite, including cut, polish, seam work, and full replacement. Our parts approach is straightforward: OEM CGI hinges, slides, and matching components whenever they’re available, and we keep the common hardware on hand for faster response across the 95005. When OEM is discontinued or lead times stretch past what a remodel can absorb, we use high-quality aftermarket hardware that matches the original fit and finish. We’ll always tell you which route we’re taking and why before we order anything.
One honest note on damp canyon jobs: repairing swollen particleboard boxes often buys a year or two. Replacing them with plywood-core CGI-compatible boxes usually outlasts the repair by a decade. We lay out both options with real numbers and let you decide, because you’re the one living with the kitchen through the next ten rainy seasons.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Lompico
Yes. We stage deliveries at the base of the driveway and shuttle materials up in smaller loads, or we arrange a box truck sized for the actual pullout and grade. We map the access on the first site visit so delivery never becomes the reason your remodel stalls. Call (866) 253-5808 if you’re not sure your site can accept a standard delivery, and we’ll figure out the approach before you order anything.
We install a vapor barrier behind wall cabinets where dampness is persistent, specify plywood-core boxes instead of particleboard where moisture exposure is unavoidable, and ensure plumbing-wall cabinets get proper sealing before installation. In unheated spaces or exterior walls that never see sun, these steps are the difference between a ten-year kitchen and a three-year failure.
They crack more often when installed over unleveled or flexing floors, which describes a lot of older Lompico cabin stock. The fix is leveling the cabinet run, reinforcing the substrate, and using flexible adhesive at stress points like sink cutouts. A properly prepped quartz top on a stabilized base handles normal seasonal movement without cracking. Call (866) 253-5808 for a site assessment before you commit to stone.
Lompico falls under Santa Cruz County permitting, not any city building department. A kitchen remodel that moves plumbing or electrical, changes walls, or alters the building envelope typically requires county permits and inspections. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and stand behind the work. For a straight cabinet reface and countertop swap with no structural or systems work, the permit load is lighter, and we’ll tell you exactly what applies when we walk the site.
In most cases, yes. We match door styles, finishes, and hardware from CGI’s current Euro-style and Shaker lines, and we’ll tell you honestly if an older finish has been discontinued and what the closest alternatives look like. For additions where new boxes meet old lines, we plan the transition so the seam is intentional instead of obvious. A free estimate covers the matching assessment.
