Vanities in Markham
Markham runs from heritage frame and brick houses in the Village and Unionville, with sloped floors and original trim, to newer estate housing in Cornell and Angus Glen. 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. 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.
Markham, on the ground.
Kitchens with pantries, fitted wall units, mudrooms, closets and vanities. 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.
An older house in Markham has usually settled, so the plinth is built to absorb the fall and scribed to the floor once the counter line is set level.

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 Markham 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 the kitchen and the pantry in one go in a new Markham house?
Yes, and that is the usual request. Both rooms are drawn together, built in the same shop run and installed on the same visit with one delivery. They appear as separate sections on the itemized quote, so you can see what each room carries without them being bundled into one figure.
We are in a heritage house in Unionville. Will new cabinetry suit the room?
It can, if the door profile, the plinth height and the hardware are chosen against what is already in the room. We record the trim profiles and ceiling heights at the measure. [Any heritage district requirements] apply to the exterior rather than interior cabinetry, but confirm that with the Town before work starts.
