Why Campbell Homeowners Choose CGI Construction
Rowan Construction Group Campbell provides independent CGI service in Campbell for Campbell homeowners who need cabinet repair, refacing, countertop installation, or full kitchen remodeling using CGI products. We are not affiliated with or authorized by CGI - we are an independent service provider - which means we source the right part for your exact cabinet rather than forcing a proprietary replacement that may not fit your budget or timeline. Call (831) 704-1211 to schedule your free estimate.
Campbell’s housing stock tells a specific story. Nearly every neighborhood from the Pruneyard out to the Los Gatos Creek corridor was subdivided from prune and apricot orchards between 1955 and 1975, and the homes are remarkably alike: small ranch-style houses, 950 to 1,400 square feet, many with original kitchens still intact. When owners pour Silicon Valley equity into a remodel, they often choose CGI for the price point and the clean Shaker lines. We’ve worked on enough of these kitchens to know where CGI’s particleboard boxes hold up and where they don’t.
Our crews have handled CGI RTA Shaker cabinets, Euro-style frameless runs, and CGI-sourced quartz slabs in Campbell homes for years. We know the hinge patterns, the drawer-glide spacing, and which thermofoil colors have been discontinued. That familiarity saves time on your job.
Why Trust Rowan Construction Group Campbell for Your CGI Construction?
Grant Rowan built this company on a standard he learned walking job sites before he could drive: measure twice, document once, build it right. He grew up in Beverly Hills shadowing a neighbor who remodeled kitchens on weekends, then trained at Santa Monica College’s Construction Technology program to read blueprints, calculate load paths, and pull permits correctly the first time. That background shows up in how we scope CGI work - we don’t guess at box dimensions or hinge centers, and we don’t start demolition until the replacement plan is written and priced.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. A live person answers our phones 24/7, not a voicemail tree. Every visit produces a documented photo record, included as standard, so you see what we found and what we did. 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.
Because we are independent, we can source OEM-compatible hinges and glides from quality aftermarket suppliers when CGI-labeled parts are discontinued or priced beyond what the repair justifies. We test-fit everything before installation. We also work with KraftMaid, Cambria, Silestone, and Kohler when a CGI kitchen needs a component those brands handle better.
Common CGI Construction Problems We Fix in Campbell

- Particleboard swelling at sink bases and dishwasher openings. CGI’s RTA and Euro-style cabinets use particleboard for the box interior, and Campbell’s water supply runs at moderately high pressure through aging copper or early PEX in these 1960s homes. A slow drip from a supply line or a dishwasher drain hose that works loose gradually saturates the particleboard. The material swells, the laminate separates, and the cabinet loses structural integrity. We see this most often in the sink base and the cabinet flanking the dishwasher. If the swelling is localized, we can cut out the damaged section, sister in a plywood reinforcement, and seal the repair. If the box is compromised across multiple panels, we recommend replacing that run rather than patching what will fail again.
- Thermofoil and melamine door delamination around handles and steam zones. CGI’s thermofoil doors are vinyl vacuum-formed over an MDF core. The bond holds well in dry conditions, but Campbell kitchens with gas ranges and inadequate ventilation - common in these small ranch homes with original hoods - expose the door faces to repeated steam and grease. The vinyl bubbles first around the handle holes, where hand oils break the adhesive, then along the bottom edge of doors above the range. Melamine doors separate similarly, though the pattern is more often chipping at corners. We can replace individual doors with solid-wood Shaker panels that match the CGI profile, or reface the entire kitchen if the damage is widespread.
- Blum-style hinge adjustment screws stripping in thinner CGI door panels. CGI’s entry-level cabinet lines use a 5/8-inch door thickness rather than the 3/4-inch standard in premium brands. The Blum-style clip-top hinges that CGI specifies require precise pilot-hole depth, and the thinner panel leaves less material for the screws to bite. Over years of adjustment and re-adjustment, the screws wallow out. We install hardwood dowel plugs re-drilled to the correct depth, or switch to a hinge with a slightly larger mounting plate that distributes load across more surface area.
- Quartz countertop edge chipping at undermount sink cutouts. CGI’s stone program sources quartz and granite slabs that are quality material, but the installation detail matters enormously. In Campbell, we’ve found several CGI kitchens where the sink cutout was not properly supported with a sink rail or corbel system, and the vibration from garbage disposals in these older homes - often mounted to cast-iron sinks with stiff plumbing - transmits stress to the quartz edge. The chip starts small, then propagates. We repair minor chips with color-matched epoxy, but for significant damage we recommend removing the top, installing proper support, and resetting the slab or replacing it.
- Drawer glide failure in high-load base cabinets. CGI’s standard side-mount glides are rated for 75 pounds, which sounds adequate until you load a 24-inch pot-and-pan drawer with cast iron. The glide brackets, mounted into particleboard sides, gradually loosen. We upgrade to full-extension soft-close glides with metal-reinforced mounting brackets, or switch to undermount glides if the drawer box construction allows.

AfterCGI Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We stock CGI-compatible hinges, drawer glides, leveling feet, and shelf pins at our Campbell-area warehouse. When an OEM-labeled CGI part is available and reasonably priced, we use it. When it is discontinued - CGI has phased out several thermofoil colors and older hinge styles in the past three years - we source quality aftermarket equivalents that match the hole pattern and load rating. We always test-fit on your actual cabinet before the install day.
The repair-vs-replace decision is straightforward in our process. If a CGI cabinet box is swollen, delaminating, or has been previously patched, we tell you honestly that refacing or replacing that run is the better long-term spend. A patched particleboard box in a steam-heavy Campbell kitchen will fail again. If the boxes are sound and only the doors or hardware are worn, refacing with solid-wood Shaker panels and upgraded glides typically runs $4,000-$13,000 for cabinet installation work, versus $14,000-$45,000 for our Kitchen Remodeling services. We put both numbers in writing and let you decide.

Our CGI Service Process - Step by Step

- 1
Diagnosis with documentation. We arrive with a camera, a laser measure, and a legal pad. We photograph every cabinet, note the series and finish code, check for particleboard swelling, test every hinge and glide, and measure the countertop for level and overhang. You get the photo record by email that evening. The written scope and flat price follow within 24 hours.
- 2
Part sourcing and test fit. We order CGI-compatible or OEM parts based on what your specific cabinets need. For refacing jobs, we cut one sample door and bring it to your kitchen to verify color match and profile alignment against the existing CGI frames before the full order goes in.
- 3
Repair or install with change-order discipline. No work proceeds on a change until the change order is signed. If we open a wall and find unexpected water damage - common in these 1960s Campbell homes with original plumbing - we stop, photograph, write the scope change, and wait for your signature. This is the discipline that has kept our projects within a few percent of the agreed price across 4,000-plus jobs.
- 4
Testing and final documentation. Every hinge is adjusted for reveal and gap. Every drawer is loaded to its rated weight and cycled twenty times. Countertops are checked for level and sink seal. We photograph the completed work and deliver the final photo record with your written warranty.

FAQs - CGI Construction Service in Campbell
Is Rowan Construction Group Campbell authorized by CGI? No. We are an independent CGI service provider, not an authorized dealer or warranty center. Our independence lets us source the right part for your exact cabinet from multiple suppliers, including quality aftermarket options when OEM parts are discontinued or overpriced.
Can you match a new CGI cabinet door if only one is water-damaged? Yes, in most cases. We can source aftermarket Shaker-style doors that match the CGI profile and finish, or refinish a custom match if the original CGI color has been discontinued. We cut a sample and verify the match at your kitchen before ordering the full replacement. Call (831) 704-1211 to schedule an inspection.
How do you handle CGI particleboard cabinets that have swollen around the sink? We assess how far the swelling has spread. Localized damage can be cut out and reinforced with plywood, then sealed against future moisture. If the swelling affects multiple panels or the structural integrity of the box, we recommend replacing that cabinet run. We put both repair and replace prices in writing before you decide.
Are your CGI cabinet hinge replacements OEM or aftermarket? We use whichever makes sense for your specific cabinet. If the OEM hinge is available and competitively priced, we use it. If it is discontinued or overpriced, we source a quality aftermarket equivalent with the same load rating and hole pattern, test-fitted before installation day.
Can you install a quartz countertop on existing CGI cabinets? Yes, provided the cabinet boxes are level, plumb, and structurally sound. We inspect for particleboard swelling, check that the tops can support the quartz weight - approximately 20 pounds per square foot - and install proper sink support before setting the slab. Cambria and Caesarstone are our most-specified quartz brands for this work.
What is the typical lead time for a CGI cabinet refacing in Campbell? Four to six weeks from signed agreement to installation day, assuming no custom color matching is needed. Sample door production and your approval add one week if we are matching a discontinued CGI finish. Full kitchen remodels with CGI or mixed-brand cabinets run eight to fourteen weeks depending on permit timing with the Campbell building department.
