A vanity swap sounds simple until the old one comes out and the wall behind it is uneven plaster, the drain height doesn't match the new cabinet, and the shut-off valves haven't been touched since the Carter administration. That's the normal Boston bathroom. We handle the removal, set the new vanity level (shimmed to the floor and scribed to the wall), cut clean openings for the drain and supply lines, and anchor a wall-hung unit into solid framing behind the plaster so it carries real weight instead of slowly working itself loose from the wall.
Floor-standing or floating, single or double, we set the cabinet and can coordinate the top and faucet.

Bathroom Vanity Installation FAQs
What does a bathroom vanity installation typically cost?
It depends on the vanity type and what's behind the wall — a wall-hung vanity needs solid backing for the weight, and a floor-standing swap can turn up a drain height that doesn't match the old one. We price after a look at the vanity and the space, not off a generic number.
Can you hang a floating vanity on plaster?
Yes — we anchor into the studs or add proper backing behind the plaster so a wall-hung vanity actually carries the weight instead of slowly working itself loose.
Do you handle the plumbing hookup?
We set the cabinet and can coordinate the connection — tell us the scope and we'll lay it out in the quote. Old shut-off valves that have seized in place are common enough in older Boston bathrooms that we plan for the possibility rather than assume they'll turn freely.
Can you haul the old vanity away?
Yes — removal and haul-away can be part of the job.
Is it a problem if the new vanity's drain doesn't line up with the old plumbing?
It's common, not a dealbreaker. Older homes were often plumbed for a different vanity height or drain position than what's sold today, so we check that before install and adjust the connection so it's not fighting the cabinet.
Should I swap my own vanity?
A straightforward drop-in swap with matching plumbing is doable for a confident DIYer. Where it gets tricky is exactly what tends to hide behind an old vanity — a wobbly wall-hung unit that never quite commits to the wall, a mismatched drain height, or a shut-off valve that won't budge. If you've already pulled the old one and hit a wall, we finish jobs other people started too.
