Custom bathroom vanities built for your bathroom
If you need a custom bathroom vanity in Clovis, the reason is almost always that the stock sizes do not fit. Vanities are mass produced at 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 inches. Real bathrooms, especially in homes built before the 1980s, are rarely any of those numbers. The usual result is a vanity that leaves a four inch gap to the wall, filled with a scribe strip and a line of caulk that discolors within two years. Building to the actual opening removes that problem and typically adds usable storage in the process.
Every bathroom cabinet we build includes:
- Plywood carcass construction with a moisture resistant sealed interior
- Finish applied to all six sides of every door, including top and bottom edges, which is where bathroom doors normally fail first
- Sealed toe kick, since a vanity toe kick sits in the wettest six inches of the room
- Drawer boxes notched or U shaped to clear existing supply and drain lines
- Soft close hinges and full extension undermount glides throughout
- Your choice of vanity height, with 34 to 36 inches now typical rather than the old 30 inch standard
Common bathroom cabinet problems we solve
- Dead space under the sink. A standard vanity wastes most of its volume around the P trap. Notched drawers or U shaped drawers recover it
- Swollen particleboard. Bathroom vanities fail from the bottom up, driven by slow drips and standing humidity
- Doors that no longer close. Unsealed door edges absorb moisture, swell, and stop clearing the frame
- Vanity too low. Older 30 inch vanities are uncomfortable for most adults today
- No linen storage. A tall linen tower built into the same run usually solves this without touching the floor plan
- Finish etched by hard water. A real problem across the Fresno area, addressed below
Our process
In-home measure and plumbing check
We measure the wall, locate the supply and drain lines, and check whether the drain is centered. It usually is not, and that determines the drawer layout.
Layout and storage plan
Drawers versus doors, linen tower, medicine cabinet, and whether a vessel or undermount sink changes the usable interior height.
Finish and hardware selection
Chosen against your tile and countertop, viewed in the actual bathroom lighting.
Build and seal
Boxes, doors, and drawers built and sealed on every face.
Installation
Old vanity out, new vanity set level and scribed to the wall, plumbing reconnected, countertop templated or set.

Vanity configuration options
| Configuration | Works well when | Trade off |
|---|---|---|
| Doors only | Budget is tight, or you store large items | Poor access to anything behind the front row |
| Drawers with notched backs | You want daily items reachable | Costs more, and interior depth is reduced around the trap |
| Door plus flanking drawer stacks | Wide vanities over 54 inches | Needs the width to work properly |
| Floating or wall hung | Small bathrooms, modern look, easier floor cleaning | Requires solid blocking in the wall, so it is best planned with any wall work |
| Double sink | Wall is 60 inches or wider | Below 60 inches a double sink usually costs more storage than it is worth |
| Vanity plus linen tower | No dedicated linen closet | Consumes counter width |
Pricing factors
- Width and configuration. Drawer stacks cost more per inch than door bays
- Drawer complexity. Notching drawer boxes around plumbing is hand work
- Species and finish. Painted MDF, paint grade maple, and stained hardwood all price differently
- Wall hung construction, which requires blocking and more precise installation
- Countertop, which is usually quoted separately
- Plumbing relocation, if the drain has to move to make the layout work
Hard water, humidity, and Clovis bathrooms
Two local conditions shape how we build bathroom cabinetry here. The first is water hardness. Groundwater across the Fresno and Clovis area carries significant dissolved mineral content, and the visible result is the white scale that builds on fixtures and glass. When that mineral laden water dries repeatedly on a cabinet face below the sink, it leaves deposits that etch softer finishes over time. We steer bathroom vanities toward catalyzed or conversion finishes rather than standard latex enamel for exactly this reason, and we seal the top edge of every drawer front where splash collects. The second condition is the bathroom itself: it is the one room in a Clovis house that runs high humidity year round regardless of what the weather does outside. Because summer air here is extremely dry and bathroom air is not, cabinetry in this room sees a steeper local gradient than anywhere else in the house. Sealing all six sides of every door, including the bottom edge nobody sees, is what keeps that gradient from swelling the panel and pushing the door out of alignment.
Financing available on cabinetry projects
Most kitchen cabinetry projects land between $8,000 and $40,000. We work with homeowners who would rather spread that over monthly payments than pay in full up front. Ask your estimator to walk you through the options during your free consultation.
