Vanities in Pickering
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. Kitchen replacements, islands, basement bars and media walls are the bulk of what we build in Pickering.
Pickering, on the ground.
Pickering is largely 1990s and 2000s subdivision housing, with older stock near the lake and country properties to the north. 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. Attached garages and wide driveways make delivery straightforward in the subdivisions, while rural addresses need the route confirmed first. 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.
Finished basements in Pickering lose height to duct bulkheads, so we measure after framing rather than working from the joists.

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 Pickering 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.
Do you serve the rural part of Pickering north of the highway?
Yes, including Claremont, Greenwood and the country properties on the concession roads. The work is identical, the delivery planning is not. We confirm the driveway, the turning space and the site contact ahead of the install date. [Kam confirms scheduling for rural Pickering addresses.]
Can you get rid of the corner cabinet in our 1990s kitchen?
Usually yes. The fix is often to end the run before the corner, panel the return and put that storage into deep drawers elsewhere. Where the corner has to stay, a pull-out beats a lazy susan for reach and for what you can actually see. We show both options on the elevations.
