Medicine Cabinet Installation & Repair in Rockville, MD
Recessed or surface-mount, new install or a sagging fix — we handle medicine cabinets across Rockville, Silver Spring & the DMV.
A recessed medicine cabinet means cutting into a finished wall between the studs — and if there's plumbing, wiring, or a vent stack hiding in that cavity, the job goes sideways fast. NextDayJose installs and repairs both recessed and surface-mount medicine cabinets across Rockville, Silver Spring, Potomac, and the DMV. For new installs we scan the wall first, frame the opening cleanly, and set the cabinet plumb so the mirror door swings true and latches. For repairs we fix sagging doors, worn hinges, cloudy or de-silvered mirrors, and loose cabinets that were never anchored right.
Older cabinets are worth saving when the box is solid — often it's just a hinge, a magnetic catch, or a mirror clip that's failed. We'll tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or a replacement is the better call. Doing a full refresh? We can hang a new vanity mirror instead, update the vanity hardware, and if the recess needs patching, our drywall repair crew leaves the wall paint-ready.

Real Local Insight from the DMV
Homes built across Rockville and Silver Spring before the 1970s almost always have a shallow recessed steel cabinet in a wet-plaster wall, and the recess is only about 3.5 inches deep because it sits in a 2x4 wall. Modern cabinets are often deeper, so a straight swap doesn't fit — we either find a shallow-depth replacement or fur the opening. Knowing that quirk up front saves a homeowner from buying a cabinet that won't seat, which we see happen all the time.
In DMV bathrooms the wall the cabinet sits in is frequently an interior partition packed with the vent stack for the sink or an old wiring run, especially in Bethesda and DC row houses where everything got stacked into the same chase. We scan before we cut. If we find an obstacle, we can usually shift the opening a few inches or reframe around it rather than abandoning the recess — and because we're licensed and insured, you're covered if what's behind that wall turns out to be a surprise.
