Vanities in Georgina
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. Much of Georgina's housing began as lakefront cottages and was converted to year-round use, so framing and ceiling heights vary inside a single room. 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.
Georgina, on the ground.
Shoreline lanes can be narrow and some driveways drop toward the water, so access is checked before the truck is loaded. 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.
Rooms facing the water in Georgina take strong daylight, so we look at door samples in the room before the finish is chosen.

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 Georgina 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.
Can you do a bar for the room facing the lake?
Yes. A wet bar or a dry bar is a normal run for us: base cabinets, a counter, glass storage, a bottle drawer and an appliance panel if you want the undercounter fridge hidden. We ask where people stand when the room is busy, then keep the traffic side clear of doors that swing into it.
Do you work in Sutton and Jackson's Point, not only Keswick?
Yes, all of Georgina. We confirm delivery access before the truck is loaded, because some shoreline lanes are narrow and some driveways drop toward the water. [Kam confirms scheduling for the far side of the lake.] The install itself runs the same way it does anywhere else we work.
