Our team provides moisture-resistant painted and stained finishes, delivering vanities that shrug off shower steam in primary baths and hard-wearing storage for both residential and commercial projects. Each vanity is measured in your bathroom by our own installers, drawn up as shop drawings you sign off before a panel is cut, and covered by a written warranty.
From notching a drawer box into a U around the P-trap to a full primary bath of matched vanities and recessed mirror cabinets, our team handles every detail. Serving Austin, West Lake Hills, Rollingwood and Shady Hollow, we plan each bathroom around how the people in it actually get ready in the morning.
Why Austin Elite
No catalogue boxes and no handoffs. The people who measure your room are the people who build and install it.
A bathroom is the hardest room in the house on a cabinet box. Austin has a humid subtropical climate with long, very hot summers, and the city's humidity swings widely from week to week. Add a daily shower and a sink that gets splashed every morning, and the vanity lives in wetter air than any cabinet in the kitchen.
That is why the box material matters more here than anywhere else. Particleboard is made from wood chips pressed with resin, and its well-known weakness is that it swells and discolors when it absorbs moisture, especially along an unsealed edge. Low-grade MDF can swell and break apart when it gets saturated. When a vanity box gives out, the swelling almost always starts in one place: the floor of the sink base, right under the trap.
We also look at your exhaust fan before we build. The residential code calls for either an openable window or a fan of at least 50 CFM run on demand, vented to the outside. A vanity finish lasts longer in a room that actually clears its steam, so if yours vents into the attic, we will tell you at the measure.
The style you choose changes how the vanity is built and hung, not just how it looks.
A floating vanity has no legs. It is held by screws driven through the back rail into the wall framing, so the wall behind it has to be sound. We open that question at the measure, confirm where the studs fall, and add blocking during a remodel when the stud layout does not line up with the vanity. The open floor underneath makes a small bath feel wider and makes mopping easy.
A floor-standing vanity carries its own weight and can hide an uneven floor with a toe kick or feet. It is the natural choice when you want a piece that reads like furniture in an older home.
Two sinks in a primary bath means two sets of supply and drain lines, and the space between the bowls becomes the most valuable storage in the room. We usually put a bank of drawers in that center section, where no plumbing runs.
Traditional vanities stand around 30 to 32 inches. Comfort height, around 36 inches, matches a typical kitchen counter and saves a lot of bending for taller adults. A child's bath can sit lower. Since we build to order, two vanities in one primary bath can even sit at two different heights. Where someone in the home uses a wheelchair, we can leave open knee space under the sink, a design direction bathroom cabinetry has followed since the 1980s.
The part of a vanity nobody sees is the part that decides whether it is pleasant to use. A standard sink base is a pair of doors over a dark box with a trap running through it. We would rather give you drawers.
We do not post a price for a vanity because two vanities of the same width can differ widely in what goes into them. What moves the number is the build, and we walk you through each factor at the measure.
The honest way to get a number is a free in-home measure. We look at the room, the plumbing and the wall, and you get a written quote built on your vanity, not an average.
The process
Every vanity follows the same path, and you see the plan before we build anything.
An installer from our own crew measures the bathroom, locates the drain and supply lines, checks the wall for studs and plumb, and talks through how the room gets used. Who uses which sink, what needs to live in the drawers, and how tall the people are.
We draw the vanity to your measurements: elevation, drawer layout, plumbing cutouts and finish. Nothing goes into production until you sign off.
Boxes, drawers and doors are built to the approved drawings, then finished. Doors and drawer fronts get a finish on every face, back edges included, because an unsealed edge is where water gets in.
The same crew that measured sets the vanity, levels it, fastens it to the framing and makes sure every drawer closes around the plumbing. Your plumber connects the fixtures. The work is backed by a written warranty.
Bathroom jobs differ by neighborhood because houses differ by era.
Wherever you are, the first step is the same: a free measure in your bathroom.
Questions
Width, number of sinks, plywood versus particleboard, door style, species and finish, drawer count and interiors, wall mounting, and tear-out of the old vanity. We give you a written quote after a free in-home measure rather than a generic figure.
It depends on the size of the vanity, the finish and our current production schedule. We give you a realistic timeline with your shop drawings, so you know the install date before anything is built.
We work across Austin and nearby cities including Rollingwood, West Lake Hills, Sunset Valley, Shady Hollow, Barton Creek, Lost Creek, Steiner Ranch, The Hills, Lakeway and Volente. Call us with your address and we will confirm.
If the sink base floor is swollen or soft, the box has failed and refinishing only hides it. If the box is sound and you only dislike the color or the doors, refinishing or new doors may be enough. We will tell you which at the measure.
Yes. We confirm the stud layout and plumbing position first, add blocking if the wall needs it, and cut the drawers to clear the trap so they close properly.
We build and install the vanity cabinet itself. If you are ordering a new top, we plan the cabinet around it and coordinate our install date with whoever supplies it, and your plumber handles the fixtures.
Yes. Every vanity we build and install is covered by a written warranty, and you receive it in writing with your project paperwork.
Texas does not license cabinet installers at the state level, so a licence number is not something to look for in this trade. Ask us about insurance on the phone. What we put in writing is the scope, the shop drawings you approve and a written warranty.
One of our installers measures the room, finds the plumbing and studs, and asks how you use the space. You then receive shop drawings and a written quote to review before anything is built.
