Carpentry / February 24, 2022
Hiring a carpenter or a service team with a carpenter is a good idea to ensure you get a professional installation for your new bathroom vanity. While DIY options are plentiful and technically possible, many steps to a vanity install require expertise and specialty tools. Learn more about the expert process it takes to install a vanity properly and why you should call a carpenter in Saskatoon for professional results.
When working with a carpentry and design service, you can communicate your needs and wants for the look of your new bathroom. Since professionals are well-versed in the products they work with regularly, they will be able to find you a selection of options that fit your look and your space with competitive pricing.
Professional services install new vanities, and part of those charges also include the removal of the old vanity and parts. This aspect of the contract is essential for homeowners who may not have access to large item waste removal without an additional surcharge.
The old vanity must be completely disconnected and removed to install the new one. To do so, a professional carpenter will disconnect and remove the following services.
Carpentry and repair services not only do away with the bulky old vanity that you’re disposing of, but if you’re not having the new vanity delivered, they will often transport your purchase to your home for installation.
Part of the installation is marking the wall and the vanity to decide where the vanity will go to ensure there is enough space and that hook-ups will fit as they should.
For best and safest results, your vanity should be attached to at least two of the studs in the wall as part of a safe and successful installation that is up to building code. Marking the studs ensures the vanity will be in line.
The vanity must be marked for stud alignment plus water and drain hook-ups before securing it to the wall. A specialty attachment is necessary to create the holes in the back of the vanity.
Once everything has been marked, drilled, and practice aligned, the vanity can be attached to the wall, provided the floor is not damaged, and there are no internal leaks in the wall beyond the vanity. If these problems arise, professional plumbing and tiles services are required.
Before installation, the carpenter will level the vanity to be sure that it is even, making slight adjustments along the way.
Installation requires drilling, specialty bits, wrenches, and cabinet screws.
Once the vanity is attached, the following steps are putting all the pieces together for a beautiful working vanity that meets your expectations.
Whether or not your sink is attached to the vanity top, it will be installed by attaching either faucet hardware and a drain or just a drain.
The drain attaches to the P-trap with the help of different sized wrenches.
The solid top is installed with adhesive and faucet hardware. Depending on the material, vanity tops must be carefully drilled to ensure the correct size scoring is completed to match the hole for the faucet and handles.
Once the installation is nearly complete, the water is reconnected and tested to ensure it is in working order and there are no leaks.
Once phase one testing is complete, all parts are sealed with adhesive sealant or caulk and left to cure before use.
When you work with a professional service, you are often guaranteed a service warranty that will help with any mishaps during installation to protect your home and your investment, which is unavailable for DIY installs.
