Laundry Room Remodels in Richardson, TX

Laundry room remodels in DFW range from $5,000 for a functional refresh — cabinetry, counters, and better lighting in the existing footprint — to $30,000+ for expansions or relocations that move plumbing and add workspace, storage, and a utility sink. Most of our Richardson projects land between $8,000 and $18,000.

The highest-impact upgrades are practical: a folding counter over front-load machines, upper cabinets that hide detergent clutter, a deep utility sink for soaking and handwashing, and durable tile or LVP flooring that shrugs off the occasional hose failure. Together these turn a pass-through closet into a genuine workroom.

Layout is where a general contractor earns their keep. Stacking the machines frees 30+ inches of counter run; recessing the dryer vent and water boxes lets machines sit flush; and borrowing two feet from an adjacent garage or hallway often converts a cramped laundry closet into a true laundry room. In many 1980s Richardson floor plans, the laundry sits next to the garage — which makes expansion surprisingly affordable.

Laundry relocations are the premium tier: moving the laundry upstairs near bedrooms, or out of the garage into conditioned space, requires new supply lines, a drain with proper venting, a 240V circuit, and dryer exhaust routing. Budget $15,000-$30,000 depending on distance from existing plumbing — and expect it to be one of the most-used improvements in the house.

A finished laundry room also protects the home itself: a floor drain or drain pan, a metal braided supply upgrade, and a properly sloped tile floor are cheap insurance against the most common source of interior water damage in North Texas homes. We include these in every full remodel we build.
