Old Norfolk homes in Ghent and Colonial Place often have particleboard vanities that swell fast in our humid subtropical summers. Moisture gets behind the toe kick and the cabinet falls apart within five years. We pull the old box, check the subfloor for soft spots, then install a plywood or MDF unit with a moisture seal coat. Independent city rules mean we pull a permit if we move the drain line more than six inches.
Cheap crews skip the shutoff valves and reuse old supply lines. That leads to leaks under the new top within months. We always put in quarter-turn ball valves and run new braided lines rated for 125 psi. In Berkley row homes the tight bathrooms force us to build the new vanity in two pieces so it fits through the door without cutting trim.
What size vanity fits a small Ocean View bath? Most 1950s and 1960s houses here have 30-inch or 36-inch openings. We measure twice, then order a vanity that leaves at least two inches on each side for tile and caulk. Solid surface tops hold up better than laminate when steam from hot showers hits them every day.
Call before the weekend rush. We book Mon-Fri 8am-6pm and Sat 9am-2pm. A same-week slot keeps you from living out of a bucket while the old cabinet soaks up more water.
