Vanities in Vaughan
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. Main kitchens with islands, back kitchens and sculleries, wall units, mudrooms and walk-in closets.
Vaughan, on the ground.
Vaughan is mostly recent builds and tear-down rebuilds through Woodbridge, Maple and Kleinburg with nine and ten foot ceilings, plus older postwar pockets in Thornhill. 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. New houses have wide driveways, double garages and level entries, so a full kitchen can be delivered and staged indoors on one trip. 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 Vaughan kitchen wall is often long enough that the reveals and the rhythm of door widths decide how the room reads, so both are set in the elevations.

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 Vaughan 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.
We are building in Kleinburg. Can you work from the architect's drawings?
We start from them and then measure the framed opening ourselves before cutting. Drawings and framing usually differ by enough to matter across a long run. The site measure is taken after drywall and before flooring where the schedule allows, and we note who is supplying and templating the counter.
Should the back kitchen match the main kitchen?
It should relate rather than match. Most Vaughan clients keep the same door profile and hardware and change the finish, so the working room takes a harder wearing surface. Both rooms appear in the rendering, seen through the doorway, which is how you will usually look at them.
