CGI Construction in Ben Lomond, CA | Viceroy Construction
We provide independent CGI cabinet, countertop, and door service throughout Ben Lomond, CA. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different is this: we coordinate the interior install with the roof, siding, and fire-hardening upgrades that Ben Lomond’s WUI review demands. So a kitchen remodel doesn’t stall halfway through. Call (877) 358-6557 for a free estimate.
Our crew has installed and repaired CGI ready-to-assemble cabinetry, vanity runs, and door slabs on mountain lots across the 95005 ZIP code. We read the same CGI specs, source the same OEM hinges and slides, and solve the same fit and finish problems that Ben Lomond homeowners actually face. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized. We’re the independent crew that knows how CGI products behave on a hillside under redwoods, and that’s worth more than a logo on a certificate. See our full CGI sales & service page for the broader scope of work.
Why Ben Lomond Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Ben Lomond homes are not flatland builds. They’re older redwood-era cabins and mid-century mountain houses on sloped lots, many with pier-and-beam foundations and decks that channel water toward the exterior walls. CGI in Lompico and nearby mountain areas means cabinetry, counters, and doors that perform differently in that environment. We know because we’ve pulled apart enough of them.
Neil Drummond, our owner, grew up in the Saratoga foothills and trained in the building trades program at West Valley College, where framing, concrete, and structural coursework still informs how we scope every Ben Lomond job. The details you don’t see are the ones that matter most. We mention that because it’s exactly what separates a CGI install that survives three wet winters from one that delaminates after two. When you call, you’ll get a straight answer about whether your cabinet boxes are worth saving or whether the moisture has already won.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Ben Lomond
- Delamination along the bottom rail of cabinet doors. Ben Lomond’s winter rain drives water into wall junctions, especially where a roof-to-wall transition was never properly flashed. We see CGI door fronts swelling and peeling when a slow roof leak goes unaddressed in an older cabin. We’ll fix the cabinet and point you to the leak’s actual source before we reinstall anything.
- Hinges pulling out of particleboard frames. Unheated mountain homes swing through big humidity cycles every season. The particleboard in CGI frame boxes expands and contracts, and the hinge screws eventually strip. We replace the pulled hinges with OEM hardware and re-drill or reinforce the frame so the door hangs square again.
- Hardware rust and seizing in damp crawlspaces. Pier-and-beam foundations in Ben Lomond trap moisture under the house. That damp air rises into base cabinets and meets CGI’s steel hardware. Aftermarket drawer slides fail fast up here. We use CGI OEM slides and assembly hardware because they’re spec’d to take more cycles before they bind.
- Sun and moisture exposure during a remodel. If a Ben Lomond homeowner opens a kitchen wall before the roof or siding is buttoned up, the cabinet faces take sun and rain during the build phase. Finish and edge-banding fail quickly. We sequence the work so new CGI cabinets go in after the envelope is closed, not before.
- Cabinet boxes wicking moisture from leaking roof-to-wall junctions. On a sloped 95005 lot off Highway 9, our crew opened a mid-century kitchen to find the CGI cabinet boxes wicking moisture from a leaking roof-to-wall junction, with door fronts delaminated along the bottom rail. We replaced the damaged boxes with CGI OEM-matched units, kept the sound uppers with new fronts and slides, set a quartz countertop, and coordinated the roof repair so the new install wasn’t sitting under an active leak. That’s the full-scope fix, and it’s the only way to stop the cycle.
CGI Service in Ben Lomond: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what no flatland Santa Cruz or Scotts Valley builder will tell you: Highway 9 corridor lots tucked under redwood canopies often can’t meet the defensible-space radius without tree removal or heavy fuel thinning. That means a cabinet or countertop remodel that touches the roof or exterior can stall in WUI review and Cal Fire clearance before the building permit ever issues. So a Ben Lomond homeowner planning a roof replacement alongside a kitchen remodel has to sequence the work carefully. New CGI cabinets and counters can’t go in under a leaking roof, but the roof can’t be signed off until the Cal Fire clearance is done, and the clearance depends on what the arborist says about the redwoods. We manage that sequence for you. One contractor, every trade, one point of contact. That’s the difference on a Highway 9 lot, and it’s why our Brookdale CGI service and Ben Lomond work is never just a cabinet job.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Ben Lomond
We service CGI ready-to-assemble and assembled kitchen cabinetry lines in both Shaker and raised-panel door styles. That includes the vanity and bath cabinet collections, CGI quartz and granite countertop programs, and CGI interior and exterior door slabs and prehung units. When we repair, we specify OEM hinges, drawer slides, and assembly hardware, because aftermarket substitutes fail faster in Ben Lomond’s damp winters and dry summers. We swap individual doors and fronts rather than tearing out sound boxes. If a cabinet run has water damage past the frame, we say so directly: replacement beats patching. We stock the most common CGI hardware locally so a single-door repair doesn’t turn into a three-week wait.

AfterCGI Service Pricing in Ben Lomond
Pricing depends on what’s actually damaged and what’s worth saving. A single delaminated door front is a fraction of a full kitchen’s cost, but a water-damaged base cabinet run usually means new boxes. Here’s what Ben Lomond homeowners can expect:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Cabinet Installation | $4000 – $13000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2000 – $6500 |
| Kitchen Remodel | $14000 – $45000 |
| Bathroom Vanity Installation | $800 – $3000 |
| Roof Replacement | $8000 – $20000 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15000 – $40000 |
Every estimate is written and line-itemed, not a round number tossed over the phone. We identify exactly which boxes get replaced, which fronts get refaced, and what the roof or flashing work costs if it’s part of the same scope. Call (877) 358-6557 for a specific number on your Ben Lomond job.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Ben Lomond
No, and we wouldn’t schedule it that way. If your cabinet remodel touches the roof or exterior envelope, the WUI review and Cal Fire clearance need to come first. Installing new CGI cabinets before the roof is signed off risks water exposure during the build and a failed inspection after. We sequence the exterior and interior work so the cabinets go in under a dry, closed envelope. Call (877) 358-6557 and we’ll map the order of operations for your specific lot.
South-facing walls in Ben Lomond take heavy afternoon sun, and if there’s any moisture intrusion at the wall or roof junction, the heat accelerates the delamination. Our Mount Hermon CGI service sees the same pattern: CGI door fronts are thermofoil or laminate over a substrate, and when moisture gets behind the layer, it fails along the bottom rail first. We’ll confirm the leak source, repair or replace the affected fronts, and make sure the wall’s flashed properly before we reinstall anything.
Yes. CGI quartz and granite countertops are non-combustible at the surface, which works fine with Chapter 7A-type exterior requirements. The counter itself isn’t the problem. The permitting sequence is. If your remodel includes a roof or siding upgrade for WUI compliance, we’ll coordinate the counter install after the fire-hardened envelope work is done, so the new counters don’t sit under a work site that’s still open to ember exposure.
They’ll hold up better if the crawlspace is re-vented or encapsulated as part of the remodel. CGI cabinet boxes are stable when humidity swings stay within a normal range. A damp, unvented crawlspace pushes moisture into the base cabinets constantly, and that’s when you see rusted hardware and swollen door fronts. We’ll assess the crawlspace before we install, and if it needs work, we’ll fold it into the same contract rather than pretending it’ll be fine.
In most cases, yes. A small 95005 cabin kitchen can take a CGI cabinet run, new counter, and a roof replacement without tearing the whole structure down. The sequence matters more than the square footage. We keep the sound cabinet boxes, replace the damaged ones with OEM-matched units, set the counter, and schedule the roof work so everything happens under one contract. Call (877) 358-6557 for a free look at your cabin’s specific condition.
