Our pre-made bathroom vanities are very simple to install, even for the novice.  Our bathroom vanities come with a large cut out in the back to connect existing plumbing lines.  If you need to move your plumbing, this is much more complicated and requires the use of a licensed plumber.  But if you are just changing out vanities, then you simply disconnect your existing plumbing, pull the old vanity out, and move the new one in.  You reconnect the plumbing and install the new faucet.

One challenge you may face if you are installing a bathroom vanity against base board, is that you will need to have a carpenter cope the base board into the new vanity.  The definition of cope is to join (two molded wooden members) by undercutting the end of one of them to the profile of the other so that the joint produced resembles a miter joint.

If you do not cut the base and cope it into the leg of the vanity you will not be able to fit the vanity tight against the wall, resulting in a gap on the sides and more importantly between the countertop and the wall. Cutting and coping base can be done by a professional carpenter for about $75 to $100 depending on your area.

Another option is to install a tile backsplash behind the vanity top.
