CGI Construction in Ontario, CA | Polaris Contractors
We provide independent CGI construction service across Ontario, CA, covering roof repair, roof replacement, and home additions where CGI envelope products are part of the work. What separates our CGI work here is knowing how Ontario’s building inspectors handle ADU and addition projects, particularly in older ZIP codes where soil reports and drainage documentation get scrutinized. If you’re dealing with a CGI underlayment or stucco accessory issue in Ontario, call (855) 473-6535 for a free estimate.
We’re a full-scope general contractor, not a manufacturer-authorized CGI dealer. That independence means we tell you when a targeted repair makes sense and when replacement is the honest answer. From the roof down to the pavers, one team manages your whole project. Our crews have spent years working with CGI WeatherLock, StuccoBase, and ShingleMaster systems on Ontario’s postwar ranch homes and newer warehouse shells, and we bring that same expertise to our Upland CGI service. Rick Sondermann, our owner, has spent the better part of three decades in construction, and he still walks job sites the way his finish-carpenter father taught him: check the details once, fix them once. Do it right the first time, the second time always costs more.
Why Ontario Residents Choose Us for CGI Service
CGI products are specified on a lot of Ontario homes and commercial buildings because they handle the Inland Empire’s heat well when installed correctly. The problem is that installation and long-term performance depend heavily on local conditions. Our team knows how CGI membranes behave on south-facing roof decks after years of Ontario summer heat cycling. We also know what Ontario’s inspectors look for when they review a CGI-clad ADU or room addition.
We’re local to the Ontario market, and we stock OEM CGI membranes and flashing for common repair scenarios. When a warranty or an inspector requires a specific CGI product, we source it. When an aftermarket accessory performs identically in a non-critical trim application, we’ll tell you that too, and explain the cost difference. You get a direct answer, not a sales pitch.
Our scope covers roofing, windows, doors, kitchens, bathrooms, fencing, hardscaping, and prefab ADUs, so a CGI repair on your roof doesn’t mean juggling three contractors to handle the rest of the job. One project agreement, one accountable team. We’ll guide you to the right material for each phase, whether that’s CGI underlayment on the roof deck or the fixtures going into the bathroom below it.

Common CGI Construction Problems We Solve in Ontario
Here are the CGI failure modes we see most often in Ontario, and why they happen here:
- Brittle, peeling self-adhered underlayment on south-facing roof decks. Ontario’s summers push roof surface temperatures well past what many membranes see in coastal cities. After several years of heat cycling, CGI self-adhered underlayment can lose its bond and start peeling at laps and edges. We see this most often on ranch homes in the 91761 and 91762 ZIPs where original roofs were never re-decked.
- Cracked stucco accessory basecoat at corner bead and weep screed transitions. Santa Ana wind events pull moisture out of stucco and substrate fast. When the framing or sheathing moves even slightly during that drying cycle, the CGI basecoat at transitions is the first place cracks appear. It’s a predictable failure point in Ontario’s older wood-frame homes.
- Improperly lapped weather barrier at wall-to-roof junctions. Winter rains in Ontario can be intense for short periods. When a CGI weather barrier wasn’t lapped correctly at a dormer or wall-to-roof tie-in, wind-driven rain finds the gap. We’ve corrected this on multiple ranch conversion projects where the original work predated current code.
- Flashing sealant failure on tilt-up warehouse roof edges. Ontario’s logistics and warehouse sector builds with tilt-up concrete and steel. Thermal expansion at roof-to-wall transitions is extreme on these structures. CGI flashing sealants that aren’t selected for that movement range fail early, and we get called to re-detail the edges.
- Old irrigation lines and organic debris under slabs in former citrus groves. In the 91764 ZIP especially, many postwar homes sit on former citrus grove land. Old irrigation lines decay, organic matter decomposes, and the soil shifts. That movement telegraphs up through the structure and can crack CGI stucco accessories at the base of walls long before the wall itself shows problems.
CGI Service in Ontario: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Ontario building inspectors scrutinize ADU and room-addition projects harder than most Inland Empire cities. The city is under pressure to meet state housing mandates, and that has translated into a permitting environment where site-specific soil reports and drainage plans are often required before framing starts. What does that mean for CGI work? It means your CGI envelope and roof details need to be documented and inspection-ready before the first wall goes up. We prepare CGI assemblies with that scrutiny in mind. We know what inspectors in Ontario want to see at CGI wall-to-roof junctions, at weep screed transitions, and at underlayment laps. We also know how to sequence the work so the CGI portion doesn’t hold up the rest of the permit review.
In the 91762 postwar tracts, our crew opened up a room-addition roof tie-in where the original CGI self-adhered underlayment had baked brittle and was peeling at the dormer cheek. We replaced the failed membrane with new CGI WeatherLock, re-lapped the wall flashing, and passed the city’s drainage and soil-documentation review on the first inspection. That’s the difference between knowing CGI products and knowing how Ontario’s process works.
CGI Models & Products We Service in Ontario
Our team works with the CGI product families most common in Ontario construction. That includes CGI WeatherLock self-adhered roofing underlayment, which we see on both residential re-roofs and commercial low-slope applications. We also service CGI StuccoBase and accessory moisture barriers on stucco-clad homes throughout the 91761 and 91762 ZIPs, and offer the same CGI service in Chino. On tile and shingle roofs, we handle CGI ShingleMaster and related underlayment systems.
On the parts side, we source OEM CGI membranes and flashing when the assembly’s warranty or an Ontario inspector requires it. For non-critical trim, we’ll recommend tested aftermarket accessories when they perform identically and save you money. We don’t push aftermarket parts into structural or warranty-sensitive locations, and we’ll always tell you which is which before any work begins.
When it comes to CGI envelope problems, our default is targeted repair while the membrane remains flexible and bonded. Once it embrittles or adhesion fails across the field, replacement is the honest answer, and we’ll walk you through what that entails.

| Roof Replacement & Installation | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Home Addition (with CGI envelope/roof details) | $45,000 – $130,000 |
Roof repair pricing depends on how much of the CGI membrane has failed, whether the roof deck needs re-sheathing, and how accessible the problem area is. Roof replacement costs in Ontario are driven by square footage, roof pitch, and whether old underlayment needs full tear-off. Home additions vary widely based on size, foundation work, and the inspection documentation Ontario requires on your specific lot.
Every estimate we give is free and itemized. We walk the site, check the existing CGI assembly, and tell you what actually needs doing. Call (855) 473-6535 to schedule yours.

FAQs – CGI Construction in Ontario
Yes. CGI WeatherLock is designed as a self-adhered underlayment and performs well on Ontario roof decks when installed with proper lap details. However, any self-adhered membrane on a south-facing deck in Ontario will experience more heat stress than the same product on a north-facing deck or in a milder climate. We recommend inspecting laps and edges after several years of exposure. Call (855) 473-6535 if you want us to check yours.
Ontario is under state pressure to approve more housing units, and the city responds by confirming that additions won’t create drainage or subsidence problems on adjacent lots. Many Ontario homes sit on former agricultural or citrus-grove land, so soil behavior varies block by block. Inspectors often want site-specific soil and drainage reports before framing. We prepare CGI envelope details and documentation to match those requirements from the start.
In most cases, yes. If the CGI basecoat has cracked at corner bead, weep screed transitions, or control joints, we can often remove and replace the affected accessory section, re-lap the CGI barrier, and patch the stucco. This works while the surrounding membrane remains flexible and bonded. If the cracking extends across the field of the wall or the substrate has moved significantly, a larger repair may be warranted, and we’ll tell you before we touch anything.
Tile roofs in the 91764 ZIP carry extra weight and trap more heat than shingle roofs, which accelerates aging in any underlayment. CGI underlayment holds up well when installed over clean, dry decking, but the old citrus-grove soils underneath can create uneven settling that stresses roof framing and, eventually, the underlayment above it. If you’re seeing cracked tiles or interior water staining, call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll inspect the CGI layer before you commit to anything.
The roof-to-wall transition is the most critical detail. Tilt-up concrete panels expand and contract significantly with Ontario’s temperature swings, and any CGI flashing or sealant at the roof edge must accommodate that movement. When the sealant fails, wind-driven rain gets into the wall cavity and the insulation. We re-detail these edges with movement-appropriate CGI flashing and verify the lap sequence before sealing.
