Whether you are refreshing a guest bath or creating a luxury primary suite, the vanity often sets the tone for the entire space. Yet homeowners are frequently surprised by how many variables drive final pricing. At CountBricks, we combine real-time material databases, local labor indices, and AI-powered takeoffs to clarify costs before demolition begins. This guide breaks down every factor so you can budget confidently and use CountBricks.com to generate an instant, line-item estimate.
Across Southern California, a professionally installed single-sink vanity generally runs between $1,100 and $3,800. Dual-sink or custom furniture-style units can exceed $6,000. Those numbers include demolition of the old cabinet, minor plumbing adjustments, finish carpentry, and disposal fees. Your exact vanity installation cost depends on five primary drivers outlined below.
• Stock vanities from big-box retailers start near $300 and ship in standard sizes
• Semi-custom lines let you pick finishes, hardware, and drawers, ranging $700–$1,800
• Fully custom cabinetry crafted to your wall dimensions begins around $2,000 and scales with wood species, specialty finishes, and integrated lighting
• Laminate is the budget leader at $15–$25 per square foot installed
• Cultured marble and solid surface options average $35–$55 per square foot
• Natural stone and quartz rise to $65–$120 per square foot depending on edge profile and backsplash height
Relocating supply lines a few inches is minor work, but moving drains through studs or slabs requires opening walls or floors. CountBricks AI assigns:
• Standard hook-ups: 1–2 labor hours
• Moderate reroutes within the vanity footprint: 3–4 labor hours
• Major relocations or vent reconfigurations: 6+ labor hours plus inspection coordination
Older vanities may be glued to drywall or rest on mudset tile. Removing them without damaging surrounding finishes increases labor time. CountBricks includes:
• Soft demo for screw-mounted units
• Surface repair allowances (drywall patching, paint touch-ups)
• Haul-away fees based on cubic yardage
• Decorative backsplashes, side splashes, or waterfall ends
• Upgraded hardware, soft-close hinges, and organizers
• Integrated lighting or power outlets inside drawers
Each item adds incremental cost that CountBricks tracks automatically during voice-guided scope creation.
Traditional estimating relies on spreadsheets and regional cost books updated once a year. CountBricks replaces guesswork with:
1. Voice-to-Scope technology that converts your spoken walkthrough into a detailed material and labor list
2. AI blueprint takeoffs that measure wall lengths, plumbing rough-ins, and obstruction clearances directly from PDFs
3. Live pricing feeds for lumber, plywood, plywood substitutes, quartz, fixtures, and even fuel surcharges
4. Crew productivity data gathered from completed CountBricks projects across Los Angeles neighborhoods
Homeowners and contractors can start a bathroom project session, describe the desired vanity, and receive a shareable estimate that updates in real time. No manual lookups, no hidden fees, and no paper clutter—just a clear vanity installation cost you can trust.
Labor in Los Feliz differs from labor in Lancaster. CountBricks applies zip-code multipliers so your estimate reflects local wage agreements, permit fees, and disposal surcharges. If you decide to DIY demolition or supply your own faucet, toggle those line items off and watch the total adjust instantly.

When the Ramirez family wanted to replace a dated 48-inch vanity with a 72-inch dual-sink unit, they feared sticker shock. Using CountBricks, they completed an AI blueprint takeoff and discovered three cost drivers:
• Expanding plumbing rough-ins by 18 inches
• Selecting a mitered-edge quartz top
• Adding under-cabinet LED strips wired to the vanity switch
The initial automated estimate showed $4,950. After toggling “owner-supplied faucets” and opting for a quartz remnant, the cost dropped to $4,120—an 17% savings before work even began. The project finished in six working days, and the final invoice matched the revised estimate to the dollar.
• Document wall conditions during your voice walkthrough—mention any existing tile that will remain to avoid unexpected patching costs
• Use the CountBricks materials library to compare countertop prices side-by-side; small changes in depth or backsplash height can trim hundreds
• Schedule your install mid-week; many CountBricks crews offer reduced mobilization fees Tuesday through Thursday
