CGI Bathroom Remodeling Nationwide

CGI Bathroom Remodeling: The Los Angeles Owner’s Guide

A full CGI bathroom remodel in Los Angeles typically runs $10,620 to $33,040 when done through Rowan Construction Group, and we carry CGI-compatible hardware and fixture parts on our trucks for most mid-range and contemporary lines. The number depends on whether we’re replacing one failed component or rebuilding the wet zone from the studs out. Most owners call us because a CGI cabinet door has delaminated at the hinge, a CGI vanity drawer slide has stripped, or a CGI countertop seam has opened up after years of steam and hard water exposure.

We’re an independent Los Angeles contractor who works with CGI products regularly, not a CGI factory service center. That matters because we can compare CGI parts against aftermarket equivalents honestly, and we do not have to defend a product line. We just tell you what the part costs, what the install costs, and whether the CGI-branded replacement is actually the better buy this time. Sometimes it is. Sometimes the aftermarket alternative from a vetted supplier gives you the same fit at two-thirds the price, and we’ll show you both numbers before you decide.

Which CGI Models This Applies To

CGI bathroom products span three broad families in the Los Angeles market: CGI windows and shower glass, CGI cabinetry and vanity lines, and CGI solid-surface countertop systems. The window and shower glass division uses etched model codes on the lower corner of the glass or frame, usually a two-letter prefix followed by a four-digit series number. The cabinetry lines are identified by a sticker inside the drawer box or on the back of the door panel, and the countertop division stamps the underside of the slab near the sink cutout when the product is CGI original.

The compatibility gotcha we see most often: CGI shower glass hinges and handle sets from the 2015 to 2022 production window are not cross-compatible with the newer slimline series, even when the glass thickness matches. The pivot pin diameter changed from 8 mm to 10 mm in 2023, and we’ve had Los Angeles owners order the older hinge online only to find it slops in the new rail. Bring us the etched code from the glass and we’ll confirm the generation before ordering anything. On vanity hardware, the drawer slide length is stamped in millimeters on the side rail; we stock 350 mm, 450 mm, and 500 mm slides as standard on our trucks because those cover most CGI vanities sold in Los Angeles since 2016.

For countertops, CGI’s solid-surface line uses a proprietary seam adhesive, but the sink mounting hardware is standard, and that’s what fails first. We keep both CGI-branded adhesive and a tested aftermarket alternative on hand. The aftermarket cures slower, which actually gives a cleaner seam in Los Angeles’s dry, hot summers where the CGI adhesive can skin over before you get the clamp set.

Signs Your CGI Bathroom Remodeling Is Failing

• Drawer slides grabbing or jumping. The nylon bearing wheels inside CGI’s soft-close slides wear flat after about eight to ten years of daily use, especially in master baths where humidity sits high. The drawer still moves, but it fights you, and one morning the soft-close stops catching.
• Cabinet door hinges sagging or popping. The hinge plate screws on CGI vanity doors are short by design, and repeated opening loosens the plate from the box. You’ll notice the door grazing the drawer below or a gap opening at the top edge.
• Shower glass pivot pin shrieking or sticking. Mineral scale from Los Angeles water works into the pivot assembly and scores the pin. The sound is a high metal-on-metal complaint, and eventually the glass panel starts to drop and drag on the curb.
• Countertop seam opening or discoloring. CGI solid-surface seams are tight when installed, but hydrostatic pressure from a sink that never fully dries will lift the bond. You’ll see a dark line, then a raised lip you can catch with a fingernail.
• Vanity cabinet box swelling at the toe kick. Water that pools at the base of the vanity wicks up through the toe kick and into the particleboard core. The box swells, the door stops aligning, and the finish blisters from the bottom up.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

For a partial CGI bathroom refresh in Los Angeles, meaning we replace the failed hardware, one vanity, or the shower glass hardware while keeping the rest of the room intact, you’re looking at $5,900 to $14,160. A full CGI bathroom remodel, where we pull the old wet zone, waterproof the substrate properly, and set new CGI or CGI-compatible products throughout, runs $10,620 to $33,040 in the current Los Angeles market.

What moves the number: whether the subfloor or wall framing behind the failed CGI product has water damage (it often does by the time owners call), whether we’re moving plumbing or keeping the existing drain locations, and which tier of CGI product you’re replacing with. Parts are roughly 30 to 40 percent of the job; labor and substrate remediation make up the rest.

Every quote is a written flat price with a written scope, itemized parts list, and a written workmanship warranty. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, that written price reaches you before any work starts, and it does not change unless you sign a change order. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation: if something is not done right, we make it right within the year.

DIY or Call Us?

You can safely check a few things yourself: read the etched code on your CGI shower glass, measure the drawer slide in millimeters, and photograph the label inside the vanity drawer box. That information lets us quote the right part the first time. What you should not attempt is pulling a CGI shower door off its hinges alone. Those glass panels weigh between 60 and 90 pounds, the pivot hardware is under spring tension in some models, and a dropped panel shatters into thousands of square-edged pieces on a wet tile floor.

The same goes for replacing a CGI solid-surface sink. The seam adhesive is a chemical product that needs proper ventilation and precise clamp timing, and the sink removal often reveals seal failure that needs a new membrane, not just new caulk. If you’ve got a failing CGI part, call us at (470) 298-9650 and we’ll walk you through what to photograph so our first visit solves the problem instead of diagnosing it twice.
