Vanity Installation in Lynnwood WA - Fitted Right, No Leaks Under the Sink

A vanity is the cabinet and sink in your bathroom. It sits right under a water supply, so it takes a beating. Here is what usually sends people our way.

The cabinet bottom is swollen or soft. Open the doors and press on the floor of the cabinet. If it feels like wet cardboard, water has been getting in. The paint peels, the wood warps, and the doors will not close flat. In our wet Pacific Northwest climate, that damp wood can grow mold fast.

You can also see black spots or smell something musty under the sink. A slow drip from a supply line or a drain joint can run for months. Often the leak is small, and the damage is hidden. That is why we always look at the wall and floor behind the old vanity when it comes out.

Other times the vanity is fine, but the room has changed. Older Lynnwood and Edmonds homes often have tiny, builder grade vanities with a thin top and little storage. Folks want drawers, a double sink, or a taller cabinet that is easier on the back.

Then there are people who bought a vanity at a store and got it home. The box is heavy. The instructions are thin. The old plumbing does not line up with the new drain. A job like that can take a day of frustration.

If any of this sounds like you, call us. We will measure, check the plumbing, and tell you what it takes.

We start with measuring. Before you buy anything, we can check the space for you. We look at the width, the height, and where the pipes come out of the wall. A vanity that is two inches too wide is a headache, so we sort that out early. If you already bought one, we check that it fits your room and your plumbing.

Next we shut off the water and take out the old vanity. We disconnect the supply lines, which are the small hoses that bring water to the faucet. We disconnect the drain too. Then we pull the cabinet and top away from the wall.

Now we check what was hiding. We look at the wall, the floor and the pipes. If there is rot or mold from an old leak, we show you and talk it through. We fix that part first, because setting a new cabinet on a damp floor only hides the problem. Basement moisture can also creep up and cause trouble, so we pay attention to that in lower level baths.

Then we set the new cabinet. Floors and walls are rarely square, so we shim it, which means we slide thin wedges under it until it sits dead level. We fasten it into the wall studs so it will not wobble or pull away. Next we mount the top and sink, seal the edge, and put in the faucet.

The plumbing is where good work shows. We hook up new supply lines and a tight drain, then run the water and check every joint. We open the cabinet and look for drips. We check again after the water has run for a while.

Last we adjust the doors and drawers, caulk the backsplash, and clean up. We haul away the old vanity and packing, and we wipe everything down.

The price depends on your bathroom, so we look before we quote. The estimate is free, and we charge no trip fee. You get the quote in writing, and it is itemized, so each part of the work has its own line.

Here is what changes the number. The size of the vanity matters. A single sink cabinet is quicker to set than a heavy double sink with a stone top. The material matters too, since some tops are heavy and need extra hands. Moving the plumbing is the next big one. If the new sink sits in the same spot as the old one, the job is simple. If you want the drain or supply lines moved, that takes more time.

Then there is the faucet. We can install the one you bring, or we can talk about options. Taking out the old vanity and fixing the wall or floor behind it can add work as well. If water damaged the area, we handle that and list it separately.

You can also tell us if you want us to supply the vanity or install one you bought. Either way, you see all of it before work starts. No hidden fees, and no surprise charges at the end.

A vanity looks like a small job. Small jobs still go wrong, and a bad one can leak into your floor. We treat it with the same care as a full remodel.
