AfterCGI Construction in Boca Raton, FL | Rowan Construction Group Boca Raton
We provide independent CGI cabinet service across Boca Raton, not as an authorized dealer but as a construction team that has installed, repaired, and refaced these cabinets in local homes since 2007. The one thing that makes our CGI work here different is our fluency with Boca Raton’s dual-track approval system - we know which CGI finishes pass Architectural Review Board scrutiny in communities like Boca West and Broken Sound before we order a single door. Call (754) 254-8065 for a free written estimate.
Why Boca Raton Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
We’ve worked on CGI cabinets in enough Boca Raton homes to know where they fail in this climate. The particleboard cores wick moisture from slab-on-grade construction. The factory finishes blister near west-facing impact windows where afternoon heat builds between the glass and the cabinet face. The soft-close hinges corrode faster here than they do twenty miles inland.
Grant Rowan, our owner, trained in construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent two decades learning how buildings behave under load and through permitting offices. He’s led projects across Boca Raton, including tenant build-outs near Mizner Park, and his crew runs on documentation-first scheduling: every phase signed off before the next one begins. We carry OEM CGI replacement parts for hinges and glides, but we also stock stainless-steel and corrosion-resistant aftermarket hardware that outperforms the originals in South Florida’s humidity. Every visit includes a documented photo record as standard, not an upgrade. Under Clause 1 of CGI sales & service, the price is written before anyone picks up a tool.
Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Boca Raton
- Soft-close hinge failure and door sag. Boca Raton’s coastal air carries salt and moisture that attacks standard steel hinge barrels. In homes near A1A, we’ve seen CGI cabinet doors sag within three years of installation. We replace with marine-grade soft-close hinges rated for high-humidity environments.
- Particleboard core swelling at the cabinet base. Boca Raton’s universal slab-on-grade construction means cabinets sit directly on concrete that wicks ground moisture, especially in older Arvida Corporation developments where the original moisture barrier has degraded. The particleboard core in entry-level CGI lines turns to oatmeal at the toe-kick. We assess whether refacing the uppers and replacing lower boxes with marine-grade plywood is the more durable fix.
- Drawer glide binding and breakage. Standard steel ball-bearing glides corrode in Boca Raton’s humidity. In the Woodfield Country Club community, we replaced a full kitchen’s worth of seized CGI drawer glides with stainless-steel full-extension hardware that still runs smooth after two hurricane seasons.
- Factory finish blistering and peeling. Impact-rated windows required by Florida Building Code create a greenhouse effect on west and south exposures. We’ve documented CGI cabinet faces reaching 140°F surface temperatures in Boca Raton condos along the Intracoastal, accelerating UV degradation. We source UV-stable replacement doors or recommend refacing with catalyzed conversion varnish finishes that hold up.
- ARB rejection of mismatched replacement materials. In master-planned communities from Boca West to Broken Sound, Architectural Review Boards enforce Mediterranean Revival aesthetic standards. A homeowner who orders a standard white Shaker replacement door for their 1990s CGI kitchen can face weeks of delay. We verify finish and profile against community standards before fabrication.

AfterCGI Service in Boca Raton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Boca Raton runs on a dual-track approval system found almost nowhere else in South Palm Beach County. The city building department is only half the battle. The Architectural Review Boards of dozens of master-planned gated communities - Boca West, Broken Sound, Woodfield, Boca Pointe - hold real legal authority over material, color, and profile selections. This ARB layer is rooted in the city’s Addison Mizner Mediterranean Revival design heritage, and it means a CGI cabinet refacing that would take weeks to permit in Delray Beach can take months here if the door style or finish doesn’t match community standards. For CGI owners, this reality shapes every decision: the cream-toned raised-panel door that passed in 1994 may be the only profile your ARB will approve in 2025, limiting your replacement options and requiring us to source from specific CGI model lines or custom-match finishes. We build this timeline into our written quotes so you’re not surprised by a six-week ARB review after demolition is already complete.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Boca Raton
We work across CGI’s full residential lineup: CGI All-Wood Cabinets with solid hardwood frames and plywood boxes, CGI Euro-Style Cabinets with full-overlay frameless construction, CGI Ready-to-Assemble Cabinets common in investor flips and rental properties, and CGI Frameless Cabinets with the contemporary slab-door profiles popular in Boca Raton’s newer coastal condos. Our Boca Raton warehouse stocks OEM CGI hinges, drawer glides, and door hardware for same-week turnaround on most repairs. For refacing projects, we maintain finish samples from current CGI production runs and can match discontinued colors through our millwork supplier. When OEM parts won’t survive this climate, we upgrade to stainless-steel or corrosion-resistant aftermarket hardware and document the substitution in your written scope.
CGI Service Pricing in Boca Raton
Every CGI project in Boca Raton gets a flat written price before work starts. Here’s what our independent CGI construction services typically run:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000-$13,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000-$6,500 |
| Backsplash Installation | $800-$2,500 |
| Kitchen Island Installation | $3,000-$10,000 |
What drives the cost: the linear footage of cabinetry, whether we’re installing new, refacing existing boxes, or replacing water-damaged cores; Boca Raton Bathroom Remodeling and countertop material selection (quartz and granite carry different fabrication costs); and whether ARB-mandated finish matching requires custom millwork rather than stock CGI doors. Our free estimate includes a written scope, material specifications, and a documented photo record of existing conditions. Call (754) 254-8065 to schedule yours - estimates are free, and we offer a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written quote.

FAQs - CGI Construction in Boca Raton
Can you reface my CGI cabinets to meet my community’s ARB color palette?
Yes. We source replacement CGI doors in current and discontinued finishes, and when exact matches aren’t available, we custom-finish hardwood doors to ARB specifications. In Broken Sound, we recently matched a 1997 CGI cream finish that had been off the catalog for fifteen years. Call (754) 254-8065 to schedule a free estimate with finish samples.
Why do my CGI cabinet drawers stick in my Boca Raton home?
Humidity corrosion on steel glide components is the usual cause. Boca Raton’s coastal air attacks standard hardware faster than inland climates. We replace with stainless-steel full-extension glides rated for marine environments. Call (754) 254-8065 and we’ll diagnose whether it’s the glides, the box, or both.
Does the FEMA substantial improvement rule apply to my CGI kitchen remodel?
It can. In FEMA flood zones covering large swaths of Boca Raton, renovations exceeding 50% of your structure’s market value trigger mandatory full code compliance, including impact windows and structural upgrades. With median home values here regularly exceeding $700,000, a $14,000-$45,000 our Kitchen Remodeling in Boca Raton project on an older home can push you over that threshold. We flag this risk in our written estimate and can phase work to manage the calculation. Call (754) 254-8065 to review your specific situation.
Are CGI cabinets a good choice for Boca Raton’s hurricane zone?
CGI’s All-Wood and plywood-box lines perform well when properly installed with hurricane-rated fastening to CBS walls, which is standard in Boca Raton’s Concrete Block Structure construction. We avoid particleboard-core CGI lines for lower cabinets in ground-floor applications where slab moisture is a factor. The cabinets themselves don’t carry wind ratings; the installation does, and we engineer fastening to Florida Building Code standards.
Can you repair water-damaged CGI cabinets instead of replacing them?
Sometimes. If the core is sound and only the finish or door is damaged, we reface. If the particleboard has swelled or delaminated - common at the base in Boca Raton’s slab-on-grade homes - replacement is the more durable choice. We document the damage with photos and give you both options in writing. Call (754) 254-8065 for an exact assessment.
