AfterCGI Construction in Delray Beach, FL | Rowan Construction Group Boca Raton
CGI cabinet and millwork installation in Delray Beach runs $4,000-$13,000 for cabinet installation alone, with full kitchen remodels ranging $14,000-$45,000 depending on scope and code triggers. What makes our CGI work different here is that we build for salt-air corrosion and water-table moisture from day one, not after the hinges seize or the particleboard swells. Call (754) 254-8065 to schedule your free estimate - we put the full scope and price in writing before anyone touches a cabinet box.
We’ve installed and serviced CGI sales & service across hundreds of South Florida projects, including coastal Delray Beach homes where CGI lines are spec’d for their salt-air resistance. Our estimators and carpenters work with CGI products daily, so we know the installation tolerances and local code interactions that generic contractors miss.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
Grant Rowan grew up in Beverly Hills, CA, where his father spent weekends restoring a 1960s ranch house and handed Grant his first framing square at age nine. He trained in construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending two decades in the field learning how buildings actually behave under load, in heat, and through permitting offices. That background shows up in how we quote CGI work in Delray Beach - we measure the wall flatness, check the slab moisture, and verify whether your home sits east or west of the Coastal Construction Control Line before we spec a single hinge.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed; a live person answers calls 24/7; and every visit includes a documented photo record as standard, not an upgrade. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, the price is written before any work starts - always. We’ve delivered over 4,000 projects since 2007, every one with a flat written price and a documented record when the crew left. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is printed on every page, backed by terms you can read, not an asterisk.
We source OEM CGI hinges, drawer slides, and touch-up finishes through authorized distributors to preserve fit and warranty on the cabinet box itself. For Delray Beach installs, we specify stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners - not standard zinc - because the salt-air corrosion here is not a future problem, it’s a current one. When we find water-swollen particleboard cores or cracked face frames, we assess repair cost against replacement: if more than 30% of the cabinet run is compromised, replacement with a CGI semi-custom line is usually the more durable path in this salt-air market.
Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
- Salt-air corrosion of metal door hinges and drawer slides. CGI cabinets installed in oceanfront and Intracoastal-adjacent Delray Beach homes see hinge and slide failure within 3-5 years. The salt-laden air penetrates standard zinc-plated hardware faster here than even 10 miles inland in western Palm Beach County. We replace with stainless or hot-dipped galvanized OEM equivalents.
- Particleboard or MDF core swelling in base cabinets. The 2-3 foot water table in eastern Delray Beach and high humidity cause slab moisture migration through unsealed toe kicks. This is common in 1950s-1970s CBS homes west of Swinton Avenue, where the original slab was never sealed for modern cabinetry. We treat and seal the slab before setting CGI plywood-box replacements.
- Face-frame separation and finish delamination on laminate fronts. When cabinets are installed before wall moisture from fresh stucco or impact-window flashing details has fully cured, the CGI Designer Series laminate fronts trap vapor and delaminate. We verify substrate moisture content before install.
- Wall cabinets pulling from single-wythe concrete block walls. Improperly shimmed CGI wall cabinets fail during hurricane-season pressure changes, especially in older Del-Ida Park and Nassau Park renovations that lack modern blocking. We install proper blocking or use Tapcon-style masonry anchors rated for the load.
- Permit delays from missed Historic Preservation Board review. Contractors commuting from Boynton Beach or Boca Raton routinely skip the board sign-off required for exterior alterations in historic districts, stalling CGI installs by weeks. We verify district status before quoting.

AfterCGI Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Delray Beach is one of Florida’s most aggressively redeveloping coastal cities, where the nationally recognized Atlantic Avenue corridor has driven a sustained commercial and mixed-use construction boom that collides daily with two distinct regulatory layers: Palm Beach County’s hurricane wind-load codes and the city’s Historic Preservation Board oversight governing renovations in districts like Del-Ida Park and Nassau Park - a compliance combination that builders commuting from Boynton Beach or Boca Raton routinely underestimate.
For CGI cabinet and millwork work specifically, this means your kitchen or bath project may need board approval even when the work seems entirely interior. The Historic Preservation Board must approve exterior alterations in these districts before a building permit is issued, and CGI projects that touch windows or exterior walls routinely need board sign-off. We’ve seen contractors show up ready to install CGI Ready-to-Assemble cabinets only to learn the permit is on hold pending board review. We check district status in our first site visit and build that timeline into the written quote.
East of the Coastal Construction Control Line, which bisects Delray Beach’s oceanside neighborhoods, any construction project requires a separate Florida DEP permit before the city building permit can proceed. The DEP review timeline can add weeks. Contractors unfamiliar with Palm Beach County coastal work regularly blow their schedules by skipping this step. We verify CCCL status and DEP requirements before we quote, so the CGI install date we write is the install date we hit.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach
We work with the full CGI residential lineup: CGI Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) Kitchen Cabinets, CGI All-Wood Bath Vanity Collections, CGI Designer Series Laminate Cabinetry, and CGI Semi-Custom Kitchen Cabinet Lines. Each has distinct installation tolerances and repair protocols.
RTA cabinets ship flat and assemble on site - cost-effective for straightforward installs, but the particleboard box construction is vulnerable in Delray Beach’s high-moisture conditions without proper slab sealing and ventilation. The All-Wood Bath Vanity Collections use plywood cores that handle humidity better; we specify these for eastern Delray Beach bathrooms where the water table complicates drainage. CGI Semi-Custom lines upgrade to plywood boxes, soft-close hardware, and wider door-style selection - the right choice when more than 30% of an existing run needs replacement.
We stock stainless and hot-dipped galvanized fasteners locally for fast Delray Beach turnaround, and maintain OEM touch-up kits for the Designer Series laminate finishes in common coastal colors.

What drives cost: box material (particleboard RTA vs. plywood semi-custom), hardware grade (standard zinc vs. stainless coastal specification), wall preparation (blocking in concrete block, moisture remediation), and permit complexity (standard city vs. Historic Preservation Board vs. CCCL/DEP layered review). Every quote is flat-priced with written scope - no change proceeds without a signed change order, which is the discipline that has kept our projects within a few percent of the agreed cost across 4,000-plus jobs.

FAQs - CGI Construction in Delray Beach
Yes, but the project requires a Florida DEP permit before the city building permit can proceed. We verify CCCL status during our first site visit and build DEP review time into the project schedule. Call (754) 254-8065 to schedule your free estimate and we’ll confirm your property’s permit path.
CGI cabinets hold up well when installed with coastal-specified hardware and proper slab sealing. Standard zinc-plated hinges and drawer slides corrode within 3-5 years in oceanfront and Intracoastal-adjacent Delray Beach homes; we specify stainless or hot-dipped galvanized OEM hardware as baseline, not an upgrade. Call (754) 254-8065 for a free assessment of your existing cabinet condition.
Possibly. The bulk of 1950s-1970s single-wythe concrete block homes in western and central Delray Beach lack hurricane straps and modern wind-load compliance; a renovation crossing the 50% improvement threshold triggers full structural code upgrades. We assess this during our site visit and note any code-trigger conditions in the written quote before work starts. Call (754) 254-8065 to schedule.
The water table frequently sits 2-3 feet below grade in eastern Delray Beach, making slab moisture migration a real factor for base cabinets. We specify CGI All-Wood Bath Vanity Collections with plywood cores - not particleboard - and seal the slab before setting the cabinet. Without this step, swelling and hinge corrosion follow within one wet season. Call (754) 254-8065 for a free estimate.
Yes, if the project touches windows or exterior walls. The board must approve exterior alterations before the city issues a building permit, and this design-review step adds time that contractors from outside Delray Beach routinely miss. We verify district status and build board-review time into our written quotes. Call (754) 254-8065 to confirm your property’s requirements.
