CGI Bathroom Remodeling: The Woodland Hills Owner’s Guide
A full CGI bathroom remodel in Woodland Hills typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 installed, depending on the size of the bath, the condition of what is behind the walls, and the finish level you choose. We stock CGI-compatible cabinetry and hardware for most series, and we can usually start sourcing your parts the same day you call. Most owners do not discover a failing bathroom until it is already telling them plainly: doors that will not stay shut, drawer fronts that have pulled loose, or water damage creeping up from a shower pan that stopped sealing years ago.
If you are looking at a CGI bathroom that has started to come apart at the edges, you are not dealing with a cosmetic annoyance. You are looking at the early warning signs of a room that is about to start costing you real money in water damage and subfloor repair. The smart move is to identify exactly which CGI components are failing, get an honest number, and make a plan before the problem moves into the walls.
Which CGI Models This Applies To
CGI bathroom cabinetry and hardware appear most often in tract and semi-custom homes built across the west Valley, from Warner Center up through the hillside neighborhoods south of Ventura Boulevard. The cabinet boxes are usually frameless or standard-face-frame construction in maple or birch with a thermofoil or painted finish, and the soft-close hinges are the first component to go. If you have a CGI vanity from a home built between roughly 1998 and 2015, your hinge plates likely use a 35mm cup boring, and your drawer slides are either side-mount epoxy-coated steel or undermount soft-close. These are standard dimensions, which means quality aftermarket parts from Blum or Salice will fit without drilling new holes, but the finish-matched drawer fronts and door profiles are CGI-specific and harder to match after market.
The compatibility gotcha with CGI is the cabinet depth. Most CGI vanities run 21 inches deep instead of the standard 22-and-a-half, which means an off-the-shelf replacement sink or countertop will overhang strangely if nobody catches the difference. We measure every opening before ordering anything. We are an independent service provider and not affiliated with CGI, but we have been matching OEM and quality aftermarket parts for their bathroom lines long enough to know what crosses over and what does not.
Styles & brands we work with
Signs Your CGI Bathroom Remodeling Is Failing
- Soft-close hinges no longer catch. The internal damper has worn out or the spring has broken inside the hinge cup. This is a $12 to $40 part per hinge, and it is the most common CGI failure we see in Woodland Hills homes.
- Drawer fronts have started to sag or pull away from the box. The screws holding the front to the drawer sides have stripped out of the MDF core. Tightening them only buys a few weeks. The real fix is filling and re-boring, or replacing the drawer box itself.
- Thermofoil is peeling at the base of the vanity doors. This is moisture damage, not aging. Humidity from showers and the occasional splash from a toothbrush has worked its way into the seams. Once thermofoil starts peeling, it does not stop; the door or drawer front needs replacing or refinishing.
- Water staining at the toe kick or base of the vanity. The real problem is rarely the cabinet. It is the silicone bead at the shower pan or the tub edge that failed years ago, and water has been wicking underneath. By the time the toe kick swells, the subfloor in that corner is usually soft.
- Drawers stick, then run smooth, then stick again. This is the classic sign that the cabinet box has shifted because the floor under it is not level anymore, which in Woodland Hills is usually either a settling slab or moisture-related swelling. The drawer is the symptom, not the disease.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
If you are replacing the failing CGI components only, a vanity swap with matched or quality aftermarket parts runs $800 to $3,000 installed in Woodland Hills. If the water has gotten past the cabinet and into the walls or floor, you are looking at the full bathroom remodel range of $9,000 to $28,000. The spread depends on how much framing and subfloor needs to come out, whether your plumbing moves, and what level of finish you want on the new materials. We write every line item before work starts, so you know the cost of the cabinet boxes, the hardware, the countertop, the labor, and the disposal separately. No lump sums and no surprises.
Every CGI bathroom remodel we do is covered for 365 days from the completion date. If a hinge fails, a drawer binds, or a tile cracks in the first year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That includes a free return visit for any installation issue, no conditions and no dispute process.
DIY or Call Us?
What you can safely do yourself: identify your hinge brand by looking for a logo stamped on the hinge arm, measure the depth of your vanity top, and check whether your drawer slides say Blum, Salice, or Grass. That information lets us give you an accurate number over the phone before anyone comes out. What you should not do yourself: pull apart a vanity that shows water staining at the base. The plumbing shutoffs behind a CGI vanity in a Woodland Hills home are usually old angle stops that have not been turned in a decade, and the floor under a water-damaged cabinet is often soft enough that a full vanity wants to tip forward once the countertop comes off. This is also not the project for a Saturday afternoon with a friend and a YouTube video if there is any chance of water lines or electrical in the wall behind the mirror.
We have handled CGI failures where the fix was two hinges and a re-level, and we have handled ones where the entire bathroom had to come down to studs. Either way, you get a straight answer. Call (831) 290-6866.
FAQs
CGI bathroom cabinets in Woodland Hills typically last 15 to 25 years before the first hinge or drawer failures appear, but thermofoil doors near a shower can start peeling in as little as 8 to 10 years if the room lacks good ventilation. Call (831) 290-6866 if you want us to check the ventilation before you replace anything.
Yes, if the cabinet box is solid, the hinges are loose or failed, and the drawers are out of alignment, repair is usually a few hundred dollars. Once the box has swelled from water or the thermofoil has peeled past the face, replacement is the honest call and usually the cheaper one long term.
A vanity and top replacement takes one to two days. A full bathroom remodel with tile, shower pan, and fixtures takes two to four weeks depending on what we find behind the walls. We will tell you the schedule in writing before we start.
We stock common CGI hinge and drawer slide patterns, and we can order finish-matched doors and drawer fronts for most lines quickly. We also keep quality aftermarket equivalents in stock, and we are one of the few shops in the area with access to KraftMaid, Cambria, and Silestone parts if you want to upgrade while we are in there.
