Vanities in Richmond Hill
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. Richmond Hill mixes postwar houses with closed kitchens and bulkheads around Yonge and Bayview with newer subdivision and infill houses open to a great 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.
Richmond Hill, on the ground.
Most houses take a driveway delivery and a level entry, and attached garages give the crew somewhere dry to stage boxes. 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.
Wall units and offices in Richmond Hill are fitted joinery, so outlet and data positions are recorded at the measure and the back panels are cut for them 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 Richmond Hill 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.
How do you fit a vanity around the existing plumbing?
We measure the drain and supply positions before building. The drawer boxes are notched around the trap and the stack so you keep working drawers instead of a false front. If the plumbing is being moved as part of the job, the new positions are set in the drawings and confirmed before cutting.
Can you build a wall unit around a mounted television and hide the wires?
Yes. We need the screen size, the bracket type and the position of the outlets and data points, all taken at the measure. Back panels are cut in the shop for the cable runs, and a service gap is left behind the screen so a future bracket change does not mean pulling the unit apart.
