CWS Construction in Sunnyvale, CA | Ashford Contractors
We’re an independent CWS service provider in Sunnyvale, not affiliated with or authorized by CWS, and we handle their cabinetry, countertops, and roofing systems on the housing stock that defines this city: 1950s-60s ranchers, Eichler-style slabs, and the newer infill going up where those homes once stood. We also work as our General Contractor in Sunnyvale on broader renovation scopes. What makes our CWS work different here is that we plan every cabinet run and roof scope around Sunnyvale’s Title 24 energy and seismic requirements before we touch a tool. Call (877) 752-3868 for a free estimate on CWS cabinets, counters, or roofing anywhere in Sunnyvale, including 94085, 94086, 94087, and 94088.
Why Sunnyvale Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Most contractors in Sunnyvale know CWS as a name on a spec sheet. We know how their Lyra Plus semi-custom cabinets behave on a slab foundation when the winter moisture moves through, and where their standing-seam panels need upgraded vent boots on a low-pitch Eichler-era roof. That familiarity comes from running CWS projects every week across Sunnyvale’s post-war tracts and newer infill lots, plus nearby CWS in Mountain View, not from reading a catalog.
Glen Mossier, who owns Ashford Contractors, grew up watching Bay Area homes get rebuilt after water damage in Foster City and has built his reputation on structural work done square before anything else goes in. That same instinct shows up in CWS service: we get the substrate right, the moisture barrier right, and the Title 24 paperwork right, because in Sunnyvale the inspector checks all three. Build it right the first time, and you won’t be rebuilding it in ten years.
We stock OEM CWS hinges, drawer glides, and trim for direct-fit replacements, and we’re honest when aftermarket hardware makes more sense. You’ll get a straight answer on whether a CWS cabinet run or roof section is worth repairing versus replacing given your home’s age and foundation.

Common CWS Construction Problems We Solve in Sunnyvale
- Swollen frameless cabinet boxes in older ranchers. Original CWS frameless boxes in 1950s-60s Sunnyvale homes swell and delaminate at the toe-kick and sink base when household humidity and slab moisture spike during the wet season. We replace the affected boxes with OEM components and address the slab moisture that caused it.
- Hairline cracks in CWS quartz and solid-surface countertops. Over old slab-on-grade foundations, unsupported spans move with seasonal soil moisture, and seams and cooktop cutouts take the stress. We re-set supported tops and repair seams so the crack doesn’t return next winter.
- CWS tile roofing shedding at eaves and valleys. On low-pitch Eichler-era roofs, original underlayment and flashings age out, and winter rain driven sideways finds every weak point. We replace valley metal, underlayment, and cracked or slipped tiles before the next storm cycle.
- Fastener and seam creep on CWS standing-seam panels. Even with Sunnyvale’s no-frost climate, penetrations like vent boots and pipe collars that were never upgraded to match the metal roof start to creep and leak. We pull and replace those collars with proper metal-roof components.
- Title 24 and seismic documentation gaps. This isn’t a physical failure, but it stops jobs cold. If your CWS kitchen or roof scope on an older Sunnyvale rancher lacks the energy and shear-wall calcs the building department requires, we prepare that paperwork as part of the permit package.
CWS Service in Sunnyvale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Sunnyvale’s building department requires Title 24 energy and seismic calcs that inspectors check as closely as the framing, which means a CWS kitchen or roof scope on an older Sunnyvale rancher has to document envelope and shear-wall upgrades before final sign-off. That’s a step contractors used to looser neighboring jurisdictions routinely miss, and it’s the first thing we flag when we walk a job. The original single-story ranchers in 94086 and 94087 often sit on oversized lots, so a permitted second-story addition or an ADU behind the main house is the standard move here, much like projects we handle as CWS in Santa Clara, and inspectors scrutinize the seismic and energy calcs on those plans as closely as the framing itself. When we’re installing CWS cabinets in a new ADU or doing a CWS roof on a second-story addition, the paperwork is part of the scope, not an afterthought. On a slab-on-grade Eichler-style rancher off Morse Avenue in 94086, our crew found original CWS frameless cabinet boxes swollen and delaminating at the sink base where winter slab moisture had crept up, plus a hairline seam crack in the CWS quartz countertop over an unsupported span. We pulled the base cabinets, replaced the toe-kick and sink box with CWS OEM components, added a proper moisture barrier to the slab, re-set a supported quartz top, and walked the job with Sunnyvale’s inspector using the Title 24 and seismic paperwork the plan set required.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Sunnyvale

That includes Lyra and Lyra Plus semi-custom kitchen and bath cabinetry, Aspire framed and frameless collections, A-line and B-line granite, quartz, and solid-surface countertops, and CWS standing-seam metal and clay or concrete tile roofing.

FAQs – CWS Construction in Sunnyvale
Yes, if the scope touches the building envelope or adds square footage, and on many older Sunnyvale ranchers the inspector will ask for them even on a remodel. We prepare the energy and shear-wall documentation as part of the permit package so the job doesn’t stall at final inspection. Call (877) 752-3868 and we’ll tell you what your specific scope requires.
Usually yes, and it’s the repair we do most often in Sunnyvale’s post-war tracts. We replace the toe-kick and sink base with CWS OEM components, address the slab moisture that caused the swelling, and you keep the rest of the cabinet run. The question is whether the damage has spread to adjacent boxes, which we check during the free estimate.
It can, but it depends on the specific pitch and the condition of the original underlayment. Standing-seam panels perform fine on the right low-slope applications, but the existing vent boots and pipe collars have to be upgraded to match, and the underlayment has to be sound. We’ll tell you if your roof is a good candidate or if another CWS system fits better.
Sunnyvale’s concentrated wet season in late fall through spring makes dry-in the critical path on any CWS roofing job. We sequence tear-off, underlayment, and dry-in so the roof is watertight before rain hits, and we schedule around the forecast rather than fighting it. Call (877) 752-3868 to see how our current schedule lines up with your roof’s condition.
Yes, and it’s the standard move in older Sunnyvale tracts where the original ranchers sit on oversized lots, similar to CWS service in Loyola. We handle the CWS cabinetry and roofing as part of the same contract, with the Title 24 and seismic documentation the building department will require. A free estimate will scope the whole job, not just one trade.
