Custom Bathroom Vanities in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Custom bathroom vanities solve two problems that stock vanities often cannot: fit and moisture. Bathrooms in Fort Lauderdale homes and condos rarely match standard widths, especially in older buildings where a wall, a tub and a toilet flange leave an odd 41 or 53 inches. A made-to-measure vanity fills that space, and because it is built for the room, the box, the finish and the drawer layout can all be chosen for a cabinet that gets splashed every day and sits in steam after every shower.

Building for steam and splashes

The weak point of most vanities is the sink base: a raw particleboard edge near a slow drip will swell and crumble. We build vanity boxes from plywood or, for rooms that stay especially damp, marine-grade or PVC materials, and seal every cut edge, including the holes drilled for supply lines and the drain. Toe kicks get the same treatment, since they sit on a floor that gets mopped and splashed. A working exhaust fan matters as much as the cabinet; if your bathroom fan is weak or vents into the attic, it is worth fixing at the same time.

Drawers around the plumbing

A standard sink base wastes most of its space behind two doors. A custom vanity can use U-shaped drawers that wrap around the drain trap, a shallow top drawer for toothbrushes and razors, and a deep bottom drawer for towels and hair tools. Outlets can go inside a drawer so a hair dryer stays plugged in and out of sight, though any new outlet in a bathroom needs to meet code and may need a permit.

Styles that suit the house

• Floating vanities: wall-hung with open floor beneath, common in modern condo bathrooms and easy to clean under.
• Furniture-style vanities: legs and a framed look that suit older homes in neighborhoods such as Victoria Park or Rio Vista.
• Double vanities: two sinks with a shared drawer bank or a center tower between them.
• Makeup stations: a lowered section with knee space and a drawer, built into the same run.

Tops, sinks and faucets

We coordinate the vanity with the top you choose, whether quartz, marble, solid surface or a vessel sink on a wood top. The sink and faucet need to be picked before the vanity is finalized so the drawer cut-outs and faucet holes land correctly. Wall-mounted faucets need the supply lines moved inside the wall, which is plumbing work that needs a permit.

In a condo

Bathroom work in a condo often touches shared plumbing risers. Many associations require approval before any plumbing fixture is disconnected and limit when water can be shut off. Replacing a vanity in the same spot is usually straightforward; moving a sink usually is not. We check with you before design gets too far.
