Vanities in Burlington
A custom vanity is built to the width you have and drawn around the plumbing, floating on wall blocking or standing as a furniture piece. Burlington holds postwar and older houses in Aldershot and the lakeside neighbourhoods alongside a growing set of downtown condos. Older bathrooms tend to be narrow with the rough-in already fixed, while newer builds offer a wider wall and room for a double bowl.
Burlington, on the ground.
House installs load from the driveway, while condo installs run through a booked service elevator and protected common areas. We measure the rough-in and the wall, build and finish the vanity in our shop, then set and level it on site so the stone can be templated against the real cabinet.
Condo units in Burlington have fixed bulkheads and concrete or steel stud walls, so anchoring and cabinet depths are settled before the build.

No figures published. The drivers, in order.
| Driver | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Floating or furniture style | A floating vanity needs blocking in the wall and a finished underside; a furniture-style piece adds legs and a plinth. |
| Sink and tap choice | An undermount bowl, a vessel or a moulded top each change the cabinet, and a wall-mounted tap moves the plumbing before the boxes are built. |
| Drawers around the plumbing | Notched drawer boxes take shop time that a door and a fixed shelf do not. |
| Finish and door detail | A slab door in paint is quicker than fluting, a mitred rail or a machined integrated pull. |
The quote is written line by line off the drawings, with the cabinet, the hardware and the stone shown separately so you can see where the money sits.
Asked before the first call.
Can you replace a vanity without retiling the Burlington bathroom?
Usually yes, if the new cabinet covers the same footprint or more. We measure the tile edges and the existing plinth line at step 01 and size the piece so no bare floor or unfinished tile is left showing.
How long is a bathroom out of use?
Only for the install and the stone. The cabinet goes in and is levelled in [n] days, the fabricator templates afterwards, and the top is fitted on their return. Your plumber reconnects once the stone is in.
Our condo board has rules about renovations. Do you deal with that?
We work to the building's requirements: a booked service elevator, protected common areas, agreed working hours and whatever insurance the property manager asks for. You or your property manager supplies the rules and the approval, and we supply the documents they request. [Typical condo building delivery rules and notice period.]
We are taking down a wall in Aldershot. When should you measure?
After the wall is out and the new framing and ceiling are in, then again after drywall if anything moved. Measuring earlier gives us a drawing, not a cut list. Design can start at any point, but the shop does not cut until the final measure is taken on the finished opening.
