Bathrooms
Bathroom vanities built like furniture, sized like they were measured - because they were
Retail vanities come in five widths and hope your bathroom is one of them. A custom vanity is built to the actual wall, around the actual plumbing, with the drawers you actually need - and it's the piece guests will put their hands on every time they visit.
What a custom vanity gets right
- Built to the wall's real width - no filler strips, no awkward gaps to caulk
- Drawers boxed around the plumbing trap instead of a fake drawer front
- Height set for the people who use it, not a 1970s standard
- Solid wood and plywood, every edge sealed against the room's moisture
- Finish and hardware matched to the house - not the big-box style of the year
Painted, stained, or natural wood; vessel, undermount, or integrated sinks; furniture legs or a plinth base. The room decides, and the room gets measured first.
Small rooms, exact fits
Older Marion bathrooms are the reason custom exists
Five-foot bathrooms in Harding-era houses, half-baths tucked under stairs, wall studs where no catalog expects them. These rooms punish standard sizes and reward built-to-fit - a vanity an inch narrower and three inches shallower than retail stock can be the difference between a bathroom that works and a door that won't open.
Beyond the vanity
Matched storage for the whole room
Linen towers to the ceiling, recessed medicine cabinets set into the stud bay, over-toilet cabinets that clear the tank. Built in the same wood and finish as the vanity, so the room reads as one decision instead of four purchases.
Bathroom questions
Asked before most vanity projects
What does a custom bathroom vanity cost?
Most custom vanities in the Marion area run $2,500-$7,000 built and installed, depending on size, wood, and drawer count - roughly the price of a high-end retail vanity, except sized to your wall and plumbing instead of forcing your wall to match a catalog width.
Can you build around existing plumbing?
Yes - the vanity is designed around where your supply lines and drain actually sit, which is exactly what off-the-shelf vanities cannot do. That is often the whole reason to go custom in an older Marion bathroom: the plumbing came through the wall in 1955 and nobody is moving it.
Wood in a bathroom - does it hold up?
With the right finish, yes. We seal every face, edge, and the underside of the top rail with a moisture-resistant conversion finish. What fails in bathrooms is cheap veneer over particleboard, which swells at the first standing drip - solid wood and plywood boxes with sealed edges do not.
Do you do medicine cabinets and linen towers too?
Yes - recessed medicine cabinets built into the stud bay, linen towers to the ceiling, and over-toilet storage matched to the vanity. Bathrooms are small; matched storage is what makes them feel finished.
Have a bathroom that no catalog width fits?
That's the normal case here, not the exception. Send the rough dimensions and we'll start from what the wall allows.

Describe the room. Get a real number, in writing.
A few sentences is plenty - which room, roughly how big, painted or stained, and when you hope to have it done. You hear back from a cabinetmaker, not a call center, and the estimate arrives in writing. Prefer to start out loud? (740) 736-3805.
- The number comes in writing before anything is scheduled - materials and labor together
- Measured from your actual walls, floors, and ceilings - not a catalog's standard boxes
