My partner and I are renovating our half bathroom. We want to go look at a bunch of tiles and other construction goods (sinks, vanities, toilets, etc.) to get a sense of what we want. In the DC area, all we can seem to find are showrooms which don’t really give us the ability to see lots of options.

Does anyone know of any wholesalers or large construction distributors in the greater DC area that we could check out? We don’t mind driving. Any and all suggestions welcome!

I’ve done both a master bath and a half bath reno, it’s kind of hard to find what you’re looking for all in one place. Floor and Decor (couple locations) has a great tile selection, all the way from cheap subway tile to expensive mosaics. They have some vanities and other accessories but not a huge selection.

So I went to Home Depot for toilets and other bathroom fixings and got my vanities from Stone Style Design (though seems like maybe they’ve closed? I didn’t love HD offerings.)

I also used floor and decor for a bathroom reno last year, seconded the good selection for tile. Also, and this might not be what you are looking for exactly, but giving a plug for community forklift in Hyattsville.

There's a place called the Community Forklift that has donated supplies. I don't do house work myself yet, but it all looked very good, and there was more variety than I see at say Home Depot. Worth taking a look at the very least

Most of the vanities these days are of flimsy quality. I had the carpenters at Woodworkers Club in Rockville reproduce a vanity from a picture. I had a choice of woods, and the price was competitive.

Porcelanosa and Architectural Ceramics are high end tile shops .

Floor and DECOR has some ok stuff

Great flags! Do you mind my asking how much the vanity was that you had built?

Moen faucets have some made in USA

If we were to make a walnut box frame, 6" tall x 36" (estimated) long x 18" (estimated) deep, the cost would be $890 plus tax. If we were to make a shelved unit roughly 20" tall x 36" wide and 18" deep without a back, it would be $1575 plus tax. If you pay with cash or check you may take a 5% discount. These are for solid walnut hardwood finished with a hard wax/oil to a satin sheen. Please take a look at the
