Looking for a vanity that actually fits your Friendswood bathroom wall? Ace Kustoms builds them to the inch for homeowners across Galveston County.
Friendswood is a city between Houston and League City, mostly in Galveston County with a portion in Harris County. Founded by Quaker settlers, it has a quiet, wooded character, with established neighborhoods along FM 518 and Clear Creek. Pearland lies to the west, and the Clear Lake area and NASA are a short drive east.
Friendswood has many 1970s through 1990s homes on tree-shaded lots and newer subdivisions on its edges. Older homes call for kitchen remodels, soffit removal and new trim, while two-story homes often want stair rail updates. Some neighborhoods near Clear Creek have flooded, so raised bases come up in planning.
Families in Friendswood with kids sharing a bathroom often ask for two sinks, a separate drawer stack for each child and a step-friendly toe-kick. Durable painted maple or stained oak holds up to daily use, and soft-close slides keep slamming to a minimum during the morning rush. We can also add a hamper pull-out or towel storage so the counter stays clear and each kid has an assigned spot for their things.
Every project starts with an in-home measurement in Friendswood. We build in our Houston shop and the same crew handles installation, so the person you talk to at the estimate is accountable for the result. Learn more about our full custom bathroom vanities service.
We size the vanity to your wall, leaving code-friendly clearance to the toilet centerline and room for door swing. Counter height is set to suit you, typically 34 to 36 inches for adults, with a toe-kick tall enough to clear baseboard.
Drawers are notched or U-shaped around the trap so you keep usable storage under the sink. We locate drain and supply stub-outs before building, so we do not end up with a drawer that cannot close over a P-trap.
Doors and drawer fronts are solid hardwood, and painted vanities use paint-grade maple with a catalyzed finish that stands up to cleaners, hair products and toothpaste far better than thermofoil or wrapped panels.
We can build linen towers, recessed medicine cabinet surrounds, or a makeup area at seated height in the same wood and finish, so the bathroom looks planned rather than pieced together from different stores.


Bathrooms in Houston see moisture from both directions: steam from inside and humid air from outside, especially in homes where the AC cycles less during mild months. That is why we build vanities from plywood, seal every surface and leave a small gap at the floor so mopping water does not wick into the base. Many older slab homes have drains coming up through the floor rather than the wall, which limits drawer layouts, so we plan around them. In coastal areas, we choose hinges and slides with better corrosion resistance. We also recommend an exhaust fan that vents outdoors, since no finish will survive a bathroom that stays damp for hours.
Salt air, high humidity and storm exposure define this county. We build with plywood boxes, sealed edges and finishes chosen for damp conditions, and we steer coastal homeowners toward corrosion-resistant hardware. In elevated homes, kitchens can see wider temperature and humidity swings, so stable door construction matters. For ground-level homes in flood-prone areas, we can plan raised bases and moisture-tolerant materials for the lowest components.
As a general planning range, a custom single-sink vanity in Greater Houston often starts around $1,800 to $3,500 installed for the cabinet, while a 72-inch double vanity with drawers may run roughly $4,000 to $8,500 before countertop and plumbing. Final cost depends on size, materials and site conditions, so please get a written estimate after an in-home measure.
