Bathroom vanity help (Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert: real estate, house, contractor)

[wildbillhiccup]

OK when I bought my house one of the drawers in the master bathroom vanity was missing. The Home was remodeled the previous year. HD and Lowes are no help.I dont know how you lose a vanity drawer... Anyway, I have called many different places trying to get one made with no luck. I have an identical drawer to be copied. Can anyone help? I am tired of trying to find a cabinet maker that can do this, dont really want to DIY.
Thanks.

Then post your question. You're likely to get a couple of recommendations.

If it was me, I'd ask your real estate agent to contact the seller's agent to see if they remember where they bought it from. If you come up empty, contact a contractor who refinishes cabinets and paint the cabinet white or grey or _____________. That contractor should have a connection. You might be forced to replace all of the doors so they actually match. But cabinet makers have bits(?) that should match the contour edge or your drawer. Back when we added matching cabinets to our center bar, we picked a contractor who could get the job done. It looks great.

The problem is you need someone with a relationship. Everyone is busy. So that the cabinet refinisher will have contacts. It's going to be a project to finish the project.

Every single of the dozen or more recommendations I've had from Next Door has been a dud - and no recommendation had any hint of a discriminating person with standards.

Who puts towels under the sink? I think most people use the space for toiletries and cleaning supplies.

Because I own property in Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert I have an account in each of city.

When I'm looking for a landscaper and a recommendation is given I search the tel# to make sure this person isn't spamming. I try to find someone with 2 or 3 different people providing the recommendation.

If the project is say tiling a bathroom I will send a PM to those providing a recommendation and ask more information. I also search for people who in the past were also looking for a tile vendor. I PM them and ask did they find someone... and would they recommend that person.

I've never found Yelp, Craigslist or other such website very helpful at all. Next-door isn't perfect especially today with more people spamming their businesses .

However, if you need work done and don't know anyone. Have no one to provide a personal recommendation. Then Next-door is certainly is worth joining.

I wish I could ask who did the oak cabinets. The previous owner past away and I bought the house from his Sister for cash.
THey are nice cabinets and since they are new dont need any refinishing. I dont really want to join next door, they require way too much personal info.
thanks
