Mudrooms & Entryway Built-Ins in Richardson, TX

Mudroom projects in DFW fall into three tiers: built-in lockers and a bench added to an existing garage-entry hall ($2,500-$7,000), a reworked laundry/entry combination that adds storage, tile and a bench to space you already have ($7,000-$15,000), and a true mudroom addition off the garage or side entry ($18,000-$30,000+).

The workhorse design is the locker wall: an open cubby per family member with a bench seat, coat hooks, a boot shelf below and closed storage above. Built on-site in paint-grade wood, a four-locker wall runs $3,000-$6,000 installed — and it single-handedly ends the pile of backpacks and shoes at the garage door.

Flooring is the functional half of a mudroom. We use porcelain tile or luxury vinyl rated for wet traffic, often with a recessed walk-off mat at the door. In North Texas the mudroom also earns its keep during storm season — a tiled, drained entry handles dripping rain gear that would wreck carpet.

The most common Richardson configuration converts the pass-through between garage and kitchen — usually a bare hallway past the laundry — into a combined mudroom-laundry. Pairing the two projects shares the tile, paint and trim budget, which is why many clients bundle this with a laundry room remodel.

Where no interior space exists, a small addition off the garage entry (6x8 to 8x10 feet) creates the mudroom outright. At DFW's $150-$250 per square foot addition pricing with plumbing kept simple, these land in the $18,000-$30,000 range and add real, marketable square footage.
