        "text": "Keep the plumbing in place when possible if the goal is a faster, more predictable countertop replacement. Moving the sink or faucet can improve the layout, but it adds design coordination, wall or cabinet changes, and possible plumbing or permit considerations.\n\n**Context:** A countertop-only project is most straightforward when the new top fits the existing vanity footprint and drain location. A move may be justified if the current sink is off-center, inaccessible, crowded, or incompatible with the desired vanity.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Existing drain and supply locations.\n- Wall access and cabinet interior space.\n- Sink centerline and faucet reach.\n- Effects on backsplash, mirror, lighting, and storage.\n\n**Practical guidance:** Mark the desired sink centerline on the vanity and review it with the full bathroom layout. Ask for separate pricing and scheduling if relocation is being considered.\n\nElite Remodeling & Design can evaluate fixture placement within a broader bathroom remodeling plan.",
