CGI Bathroom Remodeling: The Orlando Owner’s Guide
If you have CGI bathroom products that are failing, delaminating, or simply dated, a full bathroom remodel in Orlando typically runs $9,000 – $28,000 installed, depending on whether you’re replacing a vanity or gutting the whole room down to the studs. We stock and install CGI-compatible bathroom components and can match most CGI product lines during a standard remodel, including vanities, shower surrounds, and tub-to-shower conversions. Most Orlando homeowners discover the problem the same way: a cabinet door that won’t stay shut, a shower surround that’s cracked at the seam, or a vanity top that’s started to separate from the base. By the time you’re seeing those symptoms, the part has usually been failing for months behind the scenes.

Which CGI Models This Applies To
CGI bathroom products span several series lines, and compatibility matters more than most homeowners expect. The most common lines we work with in Orlando are the CGI Essentials series (builder-grade vanities and surrounds) and the CGI Signature line (upgraded cabinet faces and integrated tops). If you’re trying to identify what you have, check the inside of the cabinet door or the back panel of the vanity for a silver CGI tag with a series code. If the tag is gone, measure the cabinet depth: Essentials models are typically 21 inches deep, while Signature models run 22 to 24 inches, which changes what replacement components fit without modifying the rough opening.
For a CGI-specific job, you have two paths. OEM parts (the original CGI replacement components) keep everything matching exactly, but lead times can stretch to four or six weeks depending on the series. Quality aftermarket equivalents often ship faster and cost 15 to 30 percent less, but fitment gets trickier on older Signature models where hinge placements shifted between production years. We walk through this decision with you during the estimate, and we’ll tell you up front if an aftermarket part is going to look slightly different in finish or reveal gaps around the door seams. Penhallow Remodeling Orlando is an independent contractor, not affiliated with CGI, but we’ve worked with enough of their product lines to know what swaps cleanly and what doesn’t.

Signs Your CGI Bathroom Remodeling Is Failing
- Vanity doors that drift open or won’t close flush. The hinge plates on some CGI Essentials cabinets were mounted to MDF cores without enough screw bite, and after years of Florida humidity, the screws loosen in the substrate and the door sags. Tightening helps for a month; replacing the hinge with a larger plate is the real fix.
- Swollen or bubbling cabinet bases. This is water damage from a failed sink seal or a slow supply-line drip. In Orlando’s humidity, once the MDF base starts wicking moisture, it doesn’t stop on its own, and the cabinet loses structural integrity fast.
- Cracked shower surround seams at the corner joints. CGI surrounds are molded in panels that meet at the corners, and those seams rely on a thin sealant bead. When it fails, water gets behind the panel and into the wall cavity. You won’t always see the leak itself until mold shows up on the baseboard outside the shower.
- Vanity top separating from the cabinet base. The adhesive bond between the integrated top and the cabinet box breaks down faster in unconditioned Florida bathrooms where temperature swings are constant. If you can slide a putty knife between the two, it’s time to address it before the top cracks.
- Soft-close drawers that slam. CGI’s soft-close slides use a small damper clip that wears out or snaps off entirely. It’s a cheap part, but the drawers have to come out to replace it, and most people find out the damper is gone only after the drawer has been slamming for weeks.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
A full CGI bathroom remodel in Orlando runs $9,000 to $28,000, with most jobs landing in the $12,000 – $16,000 range. The big drivers are whether you’re keeping the existing footprint or moving plumbing, whether the shower surround gets replaced with tile or a new molded unit, and which cabinet line you choose for the replacement. A small bathroom remodel (vanity swap, new top, new fixtures, no layout change) typically runs $5,000 – $12,000. A tub-to-shower conversion, which is the most common path when a CGI surround has failed, runs $3,500 – $10,000.
Every estimate we give is a written number, not a range. Before any work starts, you get a line-item breakdown: parts, labor, disposal fees, the whole thing. The number you sign is the number on the invoice. If something changes during demo because we find damage that wasn’t visible, we stop and show you exactly what we found before any additional work happens. No change orders without your signature. Every job includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails inside a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s in writing on every project.

For mechanical failures like a broken soft-close damper or a loose hinge, a patient homeowner with a screwdriver can usually handle it. Take the drawer out, look for the part number on the slide, and you’ll find replacements online for under $15. The risk comes when water is involved: a failed surround seam, a separating vanity top, or a warped cabinet base are not Facebook Marketplace fixes. Once moisture is behind the surround or inside the cabinet box, you’re not dealing with a part anymore. You’re dealing with what that part was protecting, and that’s where the real cost lives.
If you’re not sure what you’re looking at, call (850) 427-6454 and describe what you see. We’ll tell you over the phone whether it sounds like a quick part swap or something that needs eyes on it. If you’re in Orlando, we’ll schedule a walkthrough and give you a written price before any tools come off the truck.
FAQs
In Orlando’s climate, CGI vanities and surrounds typically last 10 to 15 years before the combination of humidity and temperature swings starts breaking down seals, hinges, and MDF cores. Products in unconditioned bathrooms or homes without proper ventilation fail on the shorter end of that range, sometimes in as little as 7 or 8 years. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll help you figure out whether what you’re seeing is normal aging or an early failure.
It depends on what failed. Loose hinges, broken drawer slides, and worn soft-close dampers are genuine repairs and usually take under an hour. A swollen cabinet base, a cracked surround panel, or a delaminated vanity top almost always means replacement, because the underlying material has already lost its structure. We’ll give you an honest answer on the phone before we ever schedule a visit, and the estimate is free either way.
Most full bathroom remodels in Orlando take 2 to 4 weeks from demo day to final walkthrough, depending on whether plumbing moves and what materials have lead times. A straightforward vanity and top swap can be done in a day or two. We give you a defined arrival window and a written schedule with the estimate, and our technicians show up when we said they would.
We keep common CGI-compatible components on the truck: hinge plates, soft-close dampers, drawer slides, and sealant matched to CGI surround seams. For full cabinet boxes, vanity tops, and surround panels, we typically order per job, and we’ll give you the lead time before you commit to anything. Call (850) 427-6454 with your model or measurements and we’ll tell you what we can match and what will need ordering.
