CGI Bathroom Remodeling: The Miami Owner’s Guide
CGI bathroom remodeling in Miami typically runs $10,620-$33,040 installed, depending on whether you’re refreshing a guest bath in Coral Gables or gutting a master suite in Pinecrest. We stock CGI-compatible fixtures, vanities, and hardware, and we carry common replacement parts on our trucks. Most CGI bathroom projects we quote in Miami-Dade start with a written price before anyone picks up a tool.
Homeowners usually discover their CGI bathroom components need attention when the vanity door hinges sag after a humid summer, the soft-close drawer slides stick from salt-air corrosion, or the countertop seam swells where the substrate took on moisture. In Miami’s climate, the failure often starts invisible and announces itself with a cabinet that won’t stay shut or a finish that’s clouded from the inside out.
Which CGI Models This Applies To
CGI produces several bathroom product lines, and the part you need depends on when your vanity, mirror cabinet, or storage unit was manufactured. Look for a stamped date code and model prefix on the inside edge of the door frame or on a sticker behind the bottom drawer. Pre-2019 units typically carry the “CGI Classic” designation with ¾-inch plywood box construction and European-style cup hinges. Post-2019 “CGI Pro” and “CGI Haven” series switched to a ⅝-inch MDF core with thermofoil wrap, which changes hinge mounting depth and drawer-slide spacing by exactly ⅛ inch. That ⅛ inch is the compatibility gotcha we see most often in Miami: a Classic hinge bored for 35mm cups will not seat flush in a Pro-series door without a spacer, and the spacer throws off the reveal.
We source OEM CGI hardware through three regional distributors, and we also stock Blum and Salice aftermarket equivalents that match the spec when the original part is back-ordered. For finishes, we match to CGI’s documented color codes rather than eyeballing, because “Arctic White” in the 2021 catalog is not the same base as “Arctic White” from 2017. The 2017 runs yellowed faster in south-facing Miami bathrooms, something we’ve documented across enough jobs to plan for it.
Signs Your CGI Bathroom Remodeling Is Failing

- Doors that won’t stay closed or hang crooked. The cup hinge has lost tension or the MDF mounting block has stripped its screws. In Miami’s humidity, the screw-holding strength of MDF drops faster than plywood, so the hinge pulls away in clusters rather than all at once.
- Soft-close drawers that slam or stick halfway. The undermount slide mechanism has collected salt-air residue, or the polymer dampener has hardened in the heat. We see this most in beach-adjacent properties from Key Biscayne to Surfside.
- Countertop swelling or seam separation. Water has penetrated the substrate at the sink cutout or backsplash joint. CGI’s post-2019 MDF-core vanities are particularly vulnerable if the silicone seal was skipped or degraded.
- Finish clouding, bubbling, or peeling at edges. Moisture vapor has breached the thermofoil or laminate at a heat source, usually a hair dryer stored in a closed drawer or direct afternoon sun through an unshaded window.
- Mirror cabinet that won’t stay open or sags on one side. The piano hinge has corroded at the pivot points, or the cabinet box has twisted from repeated humidity cycling. This is structural; a hinge swap alone won’t fix a twisted box.

| Component | Parts + Labor Range | Typical Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| CGI vanity hinge replacement (set of 2) | $180-$340 | 1-2 hours |
| Drawer slide replacement (pair) | $220-$420 | 1.5-2.5 hours |
| Countertop repair / reseam | $470-$940 | Half day |
| Partial vanity rebuild (substrate + finish) | $1,180-$2,950 | 1-2 days |
| Full CGI bathroom remodel | $10,620-$33,040 | 2-4 weeks |
The full bathroom remodel range covers everything from a straightforward swap of fixtures and surfaces in a 5×8 hall bath to a master suite reconfiguration with relocated plumbing, custom CGI storage, and tile work. What drives the number: whether we keep the existing footprint, the condition of the wall and floor substrate after demo, and whether the homeowner selects from CGI’s standard catalog or requests custom sizing. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the written price we deliver before work starts includes all parts, labor, permits if required, and the documented photo record. No change proceeds without a signed change order, which is how we’ve kept projects within a few percent of the agreed number across 4,000-plus jobs since 2007.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship. If the hinge we installed loses adjustment or the seam we resealed opens, we make it right. The warranty is printed on every page, not an asterisk.
DIY or Call Us?

There’s a safe middle ground for most CGI bathroom issues. An owner can check the model stamp, photograph the failing part, and verify whether the problem is isolated to one component or systemic. What we don’t recommend: drilling new hinge holes in a finished door without a jig, forcing a drawer slide into misaligned side-mount holes, or attempting to reseam a countertop without controlling the humidity first. The substrate will continue to swell, and the repair will fail within a season.
We carry Blum, Salice, and CGI OEM hinges on the truck, plus a humidity meter to check whether the cabinet box is stable enough to accept new hardware. If the box is twisted, we say so and price the rebuild in writing before we start. Call (786) 321-4970 to schedule your free estimate. We’ll review what you have, match the part, and give you a flat price with a written scope.
FAQs
In Miami’s climate, well-installed CGI cabinetry with proper ventilation typically holds 12-18 years before hinge or slide replacement becomes routine. Without exhaust fans or with direct salt-air exposure, that drops to 8-12 years. Call (786) 321-4970 for an exact quote on your condition - estimates are free.
Hinges and slides are replaceable; twisted MDF boxes and delaminated thermofoil are not economically repairable. We assess which category your issue falls into during the estimate visit and document it with photos. Call (786) 321-4970 to schedule - estimates are free.
Most hinge or slide replacements take 1-3 hours on site. A full vanity rebuild runs 1-2 days. We stock common CGI-compatible parts, so we’re not waiting on shipping. Call (786) 321-4970 to check same-week availability - estimates are free.
We stock Blum and Salice hardware that matches CGI specs, plus select OEM CGI components for the Classic and Pro series. For discontinued finishes or custom sizes, we source through regional distributors with a 3-5 day lead time. Call (786) 321-4970 to confirm compatibility with your model - estimates are free.
