How do you protect bathroom cabinets from moisture damage?
We use marine-grade plywood for all bathroom cabinet boxes, apply multi-coat water-resistant finishes, and seal all edges and joints. Hardware is selected specifically for humid environments. These construction methods prevent the warping, swelling, and peeling that are common with stock bathroom furniture made from particleboard or MDF.
Can you build a vanity to fit an unusual bathroom layout?
Yes. That is exactly what custom cabinetry is for. We build vanities for angled walls, tight spaces, non-standard plumbing locations, and rooms with irregular dimensions. Many older Arlington homes and condos have bathrooms that were never designed for today's fixtures and layouts, and custom is often the only way to get a proper fit.
Do you install the countertop as well?
We build the vanity cabinet and coordinate with your countertop fabricator for proper templating and installation. If you do not have a countertop supplier, we can recommend trusted fabricators in the Arlington area who work with granite, quartz, marble, and solid surface materials.
How long does a bathroom vanity project take?
Most custom bathroom vanity projects take four to six weeks from design approval to completed installation. More complex projects involving linen towers, medicine cabinets, and multiple pieces may take slightly longer. We provide a specific timeline during the design phase.
Can you match a new vanity to existing cabinetry in my home?
Yes. We regularly match bathroom cabinetry to existing
kitchen cabinets or other built-ins in the home. We match the door profile, wood species, and finish as closely as possible so the new pieces look like they were always part of the house.
How much do custom bathroom vanities cost?
A single custom bathroom vanity typically costs $3,500 to $8,000 installed, depending on the width, wood species, and countertop material. Double vanities generally run $7,000 to $15,000. A full bathroom cabinetry package that includes a vanity, linen tower, and custom medicine cabinet usually falls between $10,000 and $20,000. Custom vanities cost more than stock options but are built to your exact plumbing layout, which eliminates the filler pieces, awkward gaps, and plumbing workarounds that standard sizing requires. Floating vanities typically cost 10 to 15 percent more than floor-mounted vanities due to the additional structural requirements.
What is the best material for bathroom cabinets in humid environments?
Marine-grade plywood with a sealed, moisture-resistant finish is the best material for bathroom cabinetry. Unlike particle board or MDF, marine-grade plywood does not swell, warp, or delaminate when exposed to the constant humidity and occasional water contact that bathrooms produce. We seal all interior compartments, edges, and cut surfaces to prevent moisture penetration. For finishes, catalyzed lacquer and conversion varnish provide the most durable moisture barrier, significantly outperforming standard polyurethane. Thermofoil is another strong option for humid environments since it creates a completely waterproof surface. We avoid using MDF in bathroom applications because it absorbs moisture through any unsealed edge and swells permanently.
