"Didn?t show up when expected and when he did decided he wouldn?t be able to work on the job for 8 weeks due to his full time job. We knew he had a full time job when we hired him, but we?re told he mostly worked from home and would have time for the project. My opinion is it was just to difficult of a project for his capabilities."

"Short story: Foreman accused me of lying about something they broke and this project is still unfinished nearly five weeks after work begun. The project involved leveling the patio, which had sunk, and reconstructing a retaining wall, which had also settled. In order to fix the patio, Diaz had to move our hot tub. First, the retaining wall was not done correctly—their rebuild was shorter in height than the wall on the other side of the patio stairs. After this was pointed out to the foreman, they sent a crew over a few days later to even out the retaining wall, which looks good now. However, they still have not returned (four weeks later) to clean up the mortar and other stuff which is splattered all over the patio bricks. The other issue was that they damaged our hot tub when they moved it. When they came out to repair it at first, the foreman accused me of lying about the hot tub being broken. I told him that I did not appreciate being accused of dishonesty. They attempted a repair, which failed. They told me they needed to order a part. That apparently took 3 weeks. The part was installed and the repair failed. We then had another wait while they figured out that they needed to hire a professional to do the work. After a few more days, the hot tub was repaired and now works correctly. However, their contractor left trash all over the place. We are still waiting for the crew to return to finish cleanup, over five weeks after the job was begun. The only good thing has been the communication—their representative has consistently been responsive and apologetic for the issues, but this doesn't change the fact that the workmanship has been poor and the job has taken far too long to finish."

Simple relocations within the same room take one to two days to complete. Moving to another room on the same floor often requires two to three days, while relocations to different floors can take a week or longer. The timeline extends when structural modifications are needed or when unexpected issues arise during demolition. Weather and contractor availability may also affect scheduling.
While technically possible, some locations are more practical than others. Ideal locations have access to water supply lines, drainage, proper electrical service, and exterior walls for venting. Basements offer easier drainage but might need pumps for discharge. Upper floors require sufficient structural support and special consideration for potential water damage. Proper ventilation is essential regardless of location.
Strategically relocating laundry facilities to more convenient locations can enhance your home's marketability and potentially increase its value. First-floor laundry rooms are particularly desirable for many homebuyers. While the exact value increase varies by market, improved functionality and convenience are significant selling points. The return on investment is highest when moving laundry from inconvenient basement locations to main living areas.
Drainage issues often top the list of complications, particularly when moving to upper floors. Inadequate venting can lead to moisture problems or create fire hazards. Electrical capacity limitations may require panel upgrades. Older homes frequently reveal hidden issues like outdated plumbing or electrical systems that need addressing. Space constraints can also complicate installations, especially in retrofitted closets or tight utility rooms.
For many homeowners, the convenience of main-floor laundry justifies the investment. Eliminating stairs makes laundry more accessible, especially for those with mobility concerns or families with young children. However, with costs potentially reaching $5,000 or more for upper-floor relocations, you should weigh the convenience against your budget and how long you plan to remain in the home. Consider your specific needs and daily routine when making this decision.
