CGI Construction in Felton, CA | Silver Line Contractors
CGI service in Lompico and Felton cabinetry and countertop work is our bread and butter, but the way we install it here has nothing in common with a flat suburban tract kitchen. We’re an independent crew that specifies and installs CGI cabinet and countertop lines in San Lorenzo Valley homes, which means we plan every run around sloped floors, out-of-plumb walls, and the damp that comes with redwood canopy shade. Call (833) 400-1314 and we’ll come measure what you’re actually working with before we quote a single number.
Why Felton Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’re not an authorized CGI dealer, and we’ve never pretended to be one. What we are is a general contracting team that has spent years putting CGI Ready-to-Assemble all-plywood cabinets, Euro-style frameless boxes, and quartz tops into Felton kitchens and baths that sit on hillside piers, post-and-beam foundations, and hundred-year-old framing.
That matters because CGI product quality is only as good as the install. A well-built cabinet line torqued out of square on a sloped Felton floor will rack its doors in a season. We shim, scribe, and level before we hang anything, and we’re not shy about telling an owner when the floor joists need work before the cabinets go in.
Noel Carvalho, our owner and GC, learned construction working every phase of builds across Santa Clara County, and he’s been clear about one thing since day one: good construction doesn’t need a sales pitch, the work explains itself. In Felton, that means we account for the site before we ever order a cabinet run.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Felton
These are the issues we see most often when we’re called to Felton kitchens and baths with existing CGI product:
- Water-swollen particleboard and MDF shelves in frameless Euro-style boxes. Unheated Felton cabins with wet winters and heavy seasonal rainfall keep cabinet interiors damp for months. Shelves and box sides swell, delaminate, and lose their structural integrity. We replace the damaged run with all-plywood CGI boxes and sealed edges where the line is still in production.
- Full-overlay doors and drawers racked out of alignment. Hillside pier-and-post foundations shift. When the foundation moves, the cabinet run goes out of square, and soft-close doors start binding or sagging. We re-shim the run, re-align hinges, and when the box itself is racked beyond adjustment, we rebuild it square.
- Blistering or peeling painted Shaker finishes on fog-side walls. Kitchens shaded by mature redwoods and coastal fog hold humidity against exterior walls. Factory finishes blister where ventilation is poor. We address the cabinet, then talk with the owner about airflow in that corner before we touch the finish.
- Quartz and granite tops cracking at sink cutouts. Older Felton homes with sagging or under-built floors flex. A stone top templated to a floor that isn’t leveled will crack at the narrowest point, usually the sink cutout. We level and sister joists before templating, then cut the sink opening to clear properly.
- Cabinet runs that were never shimmed to Felton’s out-of-plumb walls. We see this on ranch-era homes and older redwood cabins alike. A run installed square to itself but not to the room leaves gaps behind the counter, doors that fight, and stress on the stone above. We fix the run, not just the symptom.
CGI Service in Felton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Much of Felton’s housing stock is early-to-mid-1900s redwood cabin and ranch construction on hillside piers. That means a CGI cabinet run in Felton rarely lands on a flat, square wall. We shim and scribe to sloped floors and out-of-plumb framing that a tract kitchen never has to absorb, and we do it with the understanding that the San Lorenzo Valley is not a forgiving place for shortcuts. This isn’t a standard suburban install where we can pop a level on the wall and call it good. On a hillside off Hihn Street, our crew pulled a water-swollen CGI frameless run out of a kitchen where the fog-side wall had been wicking damp for years, similar to challenges we address with our CGI service in Mount Hermon. We sistered and leveled the floor joists, rebuilt the base run in CGI all-plywood boxes with sealed edges, and capped it with a quartz top cut to clear the new sink before templating. The owner got cabinets that finally sit square on a slope that had been fighting the old ones since the 1970s.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Felton
We work with CGI’s Ready-to-Assemble all-plywood cabinet lines, their Euro-style frameless full-overlay boxes, and their Shaker and slab door styles in painted and stained finishes. We also install CGI quartz and granite countertop programs. This is where our CGI sales & service experience matters: we know which lines are still in production, which finishes still match, and when a replacement box makes more sense than a reface.
For parts, we use CGI’s own replacement doors, drawer boxes, hinges, and shelf clips where they’re available, so finishes and hole patterns match. For soft-close upgrades, we turn to quality aftermarket Blum-style hardware, which is what we’d spec on a new run anyway. If a water-damaged box has swollen past saving, we’ll say so plainly. Refacing a swollen carcass is money wasted, and we’d rather replace that run than paper over it.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Felton
No. We’re an independent construction contractor serving Felton and the surrounding valley. We specify and install CGI products because they hold up when installed correctly, but we are not authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by CGI. That independence means our first loyalty is to your project, not a manufacturer’s sales target.
Yes, and that’s exactly the kind of site we work on regularly. Sloped floors and out-of-plumb framing in Felton are the norm, not the exception. We shim and scribe the run to the actual site, level boxes before mounting, and address any joist sag that would stress the cabinets or the stone top above them. Call (833) 400-1314 and we’ll come measure what you have.
We can, where the original line and finish are still in production. CGI’s Shaker and slab door styles in painted or stained finishes have a consistent match across their RTA program. We’ll verify the exact door profile and color before ordering, and if the original run is discontinued, we’ll show you what a close match looks like in your kitchen’s light rather than promising a perfect blind match. For an exact quote, call (833) 400-1314.
The short answer: we level the structure before we template. Cracks in stone tops almost always trace back to a sagging or under-built floor, and older Felton homes on hillside piers are many. We sister and level joists where needed, shim the base run, and only then send the template for the stone. A top cut to a moved or flexing surface will crack; one cut to a leveled run won’t. Estimates are free, call (833) 400-1314.
Most Felton kitchen cabinet and countertop projects run two to four weeks from demo to final stone install, depending on how much floor and framing correction the room needs. Site conditions here are the variable, and we’d rather add a day of prep than rush an install that will fight the slope for the next twenty years.
