CABINETRY & STORAGE
Medicine cabinets
Add medicine-cabinet storage above the vanity while coordinating mirror height and lighting. Recessed units require a clear wall cavity; surface-mounted units project into the room and need suitable fastening.
START WITH THE DETAILS
What goes into

Measure the available width, height and depth. Note doors, outlets, plumbing and any equipment the storage must fit.
Typical scope to confirm
- Confirm cabinet dimensions, mounting height, and door swing
- Inspect the wall cavity before committing to a recessed unit
- Install the specified cabinet and adjust doors and shelves

PERMIT PLANNING
Usually cosmetic work
Usually a finish-only scope when the structure, room use and utilities stay unchanged. This is a starting classification, not an address-specific exemption; confirm any related regulated work before starting.
- Opening walls or changing structural support
- Moving or adding wiring, plumbing or ventilation
- Historic exterior restrictions or regulated-material removal
ENGINEERING & DESIGN
Engineering is not usually needed
Engineering is not usually part of this finish-only scope. Stop for review if hidden damage, structural changes or unusual support loads are found.
- New structural work or damaged framing
- Unverified heavy-load support
Confirm requirements with the city or county responsible for the property before work begins. The address, exact scope and adopted code determine the final requirements.
