Single or double sink
Double sinks need space and sometimes new plumbing points. Check before quoting.
Tops
Quartz, granite or integrated tops change price and lead time.
Plumbing
New supply lines, shutoff valves and trap. Reusing old parts invites leaks.
Packages
Vanity, mirror and light fixture in one price.
Partners
Home stores, realtors and property managers turning over rentals.
Getting started
Create a flat-rate install price for customer-supplied vanities.
Common mistakes
Removing the old vanity before the new one arrives, skipping the shutoff valves and no caulk at the wall.
Example
A handyman offered flat-rate vanity installs for customer-supplied units. The jobs filled slow weekdays and led to several full bathroom remodel quotes.
What to ask before the visit
A photo of the current vanity and plumbing, the new vanity model and size, and whether the customer already bought it. It prevents surprises on install day.
What to track
Install calls per month and how many turn into larger bathroom projects within a year.

Frequently asked questions
Can a vanity be replaced without redoing the plumbing?
Usually yes, with new supply lines and a new trap. Moving to a double sink or changing the sink position may require relocating supply and drain lines.
