Vanities in Etobicoke
Houses take a driveway delivery and a level carry, while shoreline condos need a booked loading dock, a service elevator and corridor protection. 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. 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.
Etobicoke, on the ground.
Etobicoke covers brick Kingsway houses with heavy original trim, small lakeshore bungalows in Mimico and Alderwood, and newer condo towers along Humber Bay. 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. Kitchens and mudrooms in the houses, fitted wall units, home offices and closets in the condos.
In Etobicoke the detail that decides the job is often the trim already on the wall, so casing and baseboard profiles are recorded at the measure and matched in the shop.

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. |

Asked before the first call.
Can you replace a vanity without retiling the Etobicoke 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.
Is a drawer base better than a cupboard with a shelf?
For pots, plates and pantry goods, yes. A deep drawer brings the contents out to you and uses the full depth of the box, while the back of a low shelf is dead space in practice. We usually mix the two along a run and show the split in the drawings so you can see what lands where.
Can you build a fitted unit for a condo along the lake?
Yes. We measure the opening, build the unit in sections that clear the elevator door, and joint them on site. Fixing in a condo goes into steel studs or with approved anchors rather than into concrete, and any [building certificate of insurance requirement] is filed with the property manager ahead of the delivery date.
