Why Pomona Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer. That independence puts us in a position to give you straight answers about repair versus replace, OEM parts versus quality aftermarket equivalents, and what’s actually worth paying for. Nobody from the factory is leaning over our shoulder. You get our honest read.
Nelson Ibarra grew up in the Willow Avenue corridor of Rialto and spent nearly three decades working on Inland Empire homes before starting Alder Contractors. His hands-on training at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, plus the years spent on job sites with his drywall-finisher father, built the kind of practical product knowledge that book learning alone doesn’t deliver. When a Pomona homeowner asks whether their 1930s kitchen with a sloping floor can handle frameless CGI cabinets, we’ve already seen that exact situation a dozen times and know precisely what shimming, scribing, and floor prep it takes.
We’re local to the eastern San Gabriel Valley and provide CGI repair in Montclair, so our crews know Pomona’s housing stock intimately: the Craftsman bungalows near downtown, the mid-century tracts in 91767, the 1980s and 1990s subdivisions further north. That matters when you’re installing cabinets that have to sit level on floors that haven’t been level since the Eisenhower administration.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Pomona
- Heat-warped cabinet boxes and door fronts. Pomona’s summer temperatures regularly push past 100°F, and kitchens with west-facing, unshaded windows cook everything inside them. CGI cabinets that sat in direct afternoon sun for a decade develop warping and delamination. We inspect each box and door front and give you a repair-versus-replace recommendation based on structural condition, not just the calendar.
- Sticking or misaligned drawer glides and hinges. Winter rains bring humidity swings, and Santa Ana winds dry everything out fast. Older Pomona homes without whole-house ventilation make that swing worse, which is rough on CGI hinge and slide hardware. We source genuine CGI replacement hinges and slides when available; for discontinued hardware, we use premium aftermarket equivalents that meet or exceed OEM specs.
- Hairline cracks in quartz and granite countertops. Pre-1940 bungalows in the 91766 core sit on raised pier-and-beam foundations over expansive clay. That soil moves seasonally, and so do floors. CGI quartz and granite countertops installed on those moving floors can develop hairline cracks over time. We address the countertop issue but always flag the foundation problem, because replacing a cracked top without leveling the floor just buys you another crack.
- Peeling and blistered bath vanity finishes. Small, windowless bathrooms in Pomona’s mid-century tract homes trap humidity. Poor ventilation plus daily showers equals finish failure on CGI bath vanities. We recommend ventilation upgrades alongside vanity replacement or refinishing so the problem doesn’t return.
- Out-of-square cabinet runs in older kitchens. Very few kitchens in Pomona’s historic homes are actually square. Walls bow, floors slope, corners drift. A factory-perfect CGI cabinet box installed by a crew that doesn’t account for that looks wrong. We shim, scribe, and build custom fillers so the finished run reads level and true, even when the house isn’t.
CGI Service in Pomona: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a fact that separates Pomona from nearly every neighboring Inland Empire city: the bungalows clustered around downtown and the 91766 core, most built between 1900 and 1940, sit on raised pier-and-beam foundations over expansive clay soil. Clay expands when it gets wet and contracts when it dries, which means those foundations move, sometimes seasonally. Floors slope. Posts settle. It’s not rare to find a 1½-inch fall across a 12-foot kitchen run. CGI cabinet installs in Pomona therefore routinely require custom shimming and scribing to level cabinetry against sloping floors. This is not a step that tract-home installs in newer Inland Empire cities like Fontana or Rancho Cucamonga typically need. If your Pomona kitchen floor pitches, and you hire a crew without that experience, you get cabinets that look straight until you open a drawer and it slides shut on its own.
On a 1920s Craftsman bungalow near downtown Pomona, our crew installed CGI Shaker cabinets and a quartz countertop, but the original pier-and-beam floor had a 1½-inch slope across the kitchen. We custom-shimmed and scribed each cabinet box to level, then added a matching filler at the wall, delivering a seamless, level run that the homeowner said finally made the kitchen feel new while respecting the home’s character.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Pomona
Our crews have installed and serviced the full CGI product range in Pomona homes. That includes CGI Euro-style frameless cabinets, which give you maximum interior space and a modern, clean line; CGI Shaker door profiles, the workhorse style that fits both Craftsman-era kitchens and contemporary tract homes; CGI quartz and granite countertops, including Cambria, Caesarstone, and Silestone slab options; and CGI full-access bath vanities built for smaller Pomona bathrooms where every inch of storage counts.
We source genuine CGI replacement parts, hinges, slides, and door fronts, whenever the manufacturer still makes them. For discontinued items, we use premium aftermarket equivalents that meet or exceed OEM specs. We stock the most common CGI hardware locally for fast Pomona turnaround, and we’re upfront about lead times when a discontinued part has to be sourced from a specialty supplier.

AfterCGI Service Pricing in Pomona
CGI cabinet installation in Pomona typically runs between $4,000 and $13,000, depending on kitchen size, cabinet count, moldings, and how much floor leveling the install requires. Countertop installation, including material, fabrication, and installation, generally falls between $2,000 and $6,500. A full CGI kitchen remodel, which includes cabinets, countertops, plumbing, electrical, and often flooring or wall modifications, ranges from $14,000 to $45,000 across Pomona.
What drives the cost locally: the age of your home, the condition of your subfloor, whether we’re working with an unlevel pier-and-beam foundation that needs shimming, and whether we’re dealing with pre-1940 plaster walls that require careful scribing.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Pomona
Yes, and we do it regularly. The raised pier-and-beam floors under Pomona’s pre-1940 bungalows almost always have slope, so the install process involves custom shimming and scribing each cabinet box to level against the existing floor. You don’t need to replace or rebuild the foundation to get a level cabinet run; you need a crew that knows how to work with what’s there. Call (833) 467-7020 and we’ll walk your specific kitchen.
It depends on the structural condition of the cabinet boxes, not just the age. If the boxes are solid and only the door fronts or veneer have failed, we can often replace doors and reface the boxes at a significant cost savings over a full replacement. If the boxes themselves are warped or the joints have opened, replacement is usually the better long-term investment. West-facing Pomona kitchens with unshaded windows are the worst offenders for this failure mode. Call (833) 467-7020 for an honest assessment.
We install with flexible adhesive where appropriate and account for floor movement in how we set the countertop, but the bigger issue is prevention. We always flag a moving pier-and-beam foundation before we install a new quartz top, because throwing a $3,000 countertop onto a floor that shifts seasonally is how you get hairline cracks within a year or two. In many Pomona bungalows, adding a few adjustable posts under the kitchen floor before countertop installation is a small cost that protects the top.
Yes. Alder Contractors offers CGI cabinet refacing for homeowners across Pomona, including 91767, who want new door fronts, new hardware, and new finish without the cost and disruption of a full tear-out. We apply the same leveling and scribing standards to refacing work that we apply to full CGI cabinet installation, which is why refaced cabinets in Pomona’s older homes actually stay square and close properly.
Most CGI kitchen remodels in Pomona take between three and six weeks, start to finish. The timeline depends on whether you’re moving plumbing or electrical, which triggers city of Pomona permits and inspections, and on the condition of your subfloor and existing walls. Cabinetry-only installations without plumbing changes often finish in one to two weeks. We pull permits when the scope requires them, and we schedule inspections to keep your project moving. Call (833) 467-7020 and we’ll give you an accurate timeline for your specific scope.
