RE: VANITY & COUNTERTOP SELECTION

There are a few ways in finding a vanity for your project. Our recommendations as to where to look vary and depend on what you’re looking for and what your space can accommodate.

Some vanities found online include the countertops. They typically are cost-effective units however some of these units we have seen, the construction and finishes are inferior to the cabinets that ProSource, Ferguson, and a few other local vendors offer.

If you’re purchasing a vanity that doesn’t include the countertop with the purchase, there are several local Quartz & Stone Design Consultants/Fabricators to choose from that offer the materials. These Consultants/Fabricators will also provide the installation of your countertop and sink bowls. If you work with ProSource for your vanity selection, as a convenience, they offer some quartz and granite materials. Another option for any of the quartz or stone materials and fabrication services is The Home Depot or Lowes, however, the selections from any of these two stores are limited but a little cost-effective. If you’re looking for a quartz or stone material that offers a touch more in uniqueness/quality, we suggest KBR, Mont Granite & Stone, and some other local vendors. In any case, if your countertop doesn’t come with your vanity purchase, the Consultant/Fabricator you choose to purchase from may need to field measure, (meaning they may need to measure the cabinet once we have installed it). Typically, the fabricator will need the model number of the sink or sinks at the time of the field measure. The drilling of the holes for faucets is typically drilled at the time of installation and this is completed by the fabricator. Lou Vaughn Remodeling or plumber will install the faucets and make all plumbing connections. To get an exact price from them you will need to provide them the details, i.e. under-mount sink bowls, edge type, and the overhang dimension of your vanity, and what edges of the top will be exposed. Please confirm with Your Quartz/Stone Design Consultant.
