Why a custom vanity fits better
Standard vanities come in set widths, which leaves awkward gaps or forces compromises around windows, doors and plumbing. A custom vanity can run wall to wall, wrap around a corner or sit at a height that suits the people using it.
For primary bathrooms, that might mean a double vanity with a center tower. For a guest bath or powder room, it might mean a slim piece with deeper storage than you would expect from the footprint.
Height is a quiet advantage. Standard vanities are set at one height, but a custom piece can be taller for adults who are tired of stooping, or include a lower section for children. Small changes like these make a bathroom comfortable for the people who actually use it.
Planning storage around your routine
We ask what lives on your counter now and what you wish had a home. Hair tools, skincare, medications, towels and cleaning supplies all need different kinds of space.
Common choices include:
- Drawers with dividers instead of open cabinet space
- Outlets inside a drawer or cabinet for hair dryers
- Tall linen cabinets or wall-mounted medicine cabinets
- Open shelving for towels beside the shower
- Hampers and trash pull-outs built into the vanity base
Moisture, materials and finishes
Bathrooms are the most humid rooms in the house, and South Florida adds to that for most of the year. Material choice, edge sealing and finish all affect how a vanity ages, so it deserves real thought rather than a quick pick from a swatch.
We’ll walk you through the options during your estimate. For background on what to ask, read our overview of cabinet materials and South Florida humidity. Good ventilation matters too, and we’ll mention it if we see a concern.
Hardware and hinges deserve the same scrutiny, since bathroom air is hard on cheap metal. Ask about finish quality on pulls, hinges and slides before you commit, because those are the parts you touch every day.
Coordinating with plumbing, counters and mirrors
A vanity is only one piece of the bathroom. The sink, faucet, countertop, backsplash and mirror all have to line up with the cabinet, and each trade works from different measurements.
We measure carefully, confirm sink and faucet specs before the build, and note where the plumbing sits so cutouts are accurate. If your project includes moving plumbing, a licensed plumber and possibly a permit will be involved. Check with your local building department, and we’ll help you understand what applies.
Condos, townhomes and tight spaces
Many bathrooms in Delray Beach and Boca Raton condos have limited access, narrow hallways and building rules about deliveries and noise. Installation planning is part of the job, not an afterthought.
If your association requires approval or proof of insurance, tell us early. We’ll help you gather what they ask for so scheduling does not stall.
Older homes bring their own surprises, from uneven walls to plumbing placed years ago for a different fixture. We measure at several heights, because a wall that looks square near the floor may not be square at the countertop line, and the cabinet has to fit the room as it really is.
What to expect from the estimate
You receive a free estimate and a written scope covering size, materials, hardware and installation. Price varies with vanity dimensions, finish, number of drawers and how many additional pieces you include. If you are also planning a larger remodel, our kitchen cabinet team can coordinate the style so rooms feel related.
