Mirror and Medicine Cabinet Installation in Monterey Park, CA
Heavy mirrors need real support, and medicine cabinets need to fit their opening. We hang mirrors on studs or cleats, swap medicine cabinets, take down old glued-on mirrors and patch the wall behind.

The short answer
We hang mirrors on clips, cleats or brackets rated for the weight, and install surface-mount or recessed medicine cabinets centered over the sink. Old cabinets come out cleanly, and the wall around them gets patched if needed.
What to text us: photo checklist
- The wall above the vanity
- The mirror or cabinet you bought, with its size
- The old cabinet, opened, if you’re replacing one
- The light fixture above it

Older bathroom walls
Census figures show 12,586 of Monterey Park's 22,134 housing units were built between 1940 and 1969. Many bathrooms from that era have small recessed medicine cabinets and plaster or thick drywall, so we measure openings and use hardware made for the wall.
Mirrors glued on during later updates come off carefully to limit wall damage.
Where these facts come from: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimates, table B25034 (via Census Reporter).

Mirror and medicine cabinet installation questions
Something else? Call or text and ask.
Can you hang a heavy mirror?
Yes, on studs or a cleat.
Can you replace a recessed medicine cabinet?
Yes, if it fits or the opening can be adjusted.
Can you remove a glued-on mirror?
Yes, then patch the wall.
How much does mirror installation cost?
It depends on the size. Text a photo for a free estimate.
Will a new recessed cabinet fit my old wall opening?
Only if it matches the rough opening between the studs. We measure that opening before you order. If the new cabinet is smaller, we fill and finish the gap so the edges look clean.
What hardware should hang a heavy mirror?
A French cleat or heavy-duty mirror clips into studs. Wire and a single nail aren’t enough for large or framed mirrors.
