Your bathroom project in Lubbock starts with measurements taken at the floor, walls, and plumbing connections to identify where the surface is out of level or where pipes limit cabinet depth. Vanities are built to the height you specify, with toe kicks that account for baseboards and flooring transitions, and shelves are spaced to fit the items you store most often. All wood surfaces receive a waterproof topcoat before installation.

After the work is complete, you will notice that cabinet doors close without rubbing against each other and that drawers pull out fully without catching on the face frame. Wood trim around mirrors or along the top of wainscoting stays tight to the wall without peeling or warping when the room steams up from showers.

TTT Construction uses screws instead of nails on all joints subject to movement and caulks seams where wood meets tile or drywall to block water from seeping behind the installation. The work does not include plumbing relocation or electrical rough-in, though access panels can be added if you need to reach shutoff valves or drain lines later. The result is woodwork that looks clean and stays functional even in small, high-moisture spaces.

Homeowners in Lubbock often ask about wood species, finishes that hold up to water, and what happens when floors are not level, so the answers below address the details that affect durability and fit.

What type of wood resists bathroom moisture best?
Plywood with a waterproof veneer or solid hardwood sealed on all six sides resists swelling better than particleboard or MDF. TTT Construction applies sealant to cut edges and drilled holes before assembly to block moisture entry.

How do you level a vanity on an uneven floor?
You shim the cabinet at low points and trim the legs or toe kick at high points until the top sits level. The shims are glued and fastened so they do not shift when the cabinet is loaded with weight.

What finish works on bathroom shelving that gets wet?
Polyurethane or water-based acrylic sealer applied in multiple coats creates a surface that repels water and wipes clean without leaving streaks. You should avoid oil-based stains that do not cure fully in humid conditions.

How much clearance do you leave around plumbing pipes?
Cutouts are sized to fit pipes with a quarter-inch gap on all sides, then sealed with caulk or escutcheons to prevent water from dripping behind the wood. The goal is to allow pipe movement without exposing raw edges to moisture.

Can you add woodwork to a bathroom with textured walls?
Yes, though trim and panels may need backing strips or additional fasteners to sit flush against the texture. In some cases, the texture is sanded flat in areas where wood meets the wall to improve the fit and appearance.

TTT Construction cuts and seals each piece before installation so wood does not absorb water from humid air or splashes near sinks and tubs.
