The North Star Companies, LLC, is the premier contracting company in MD. We pride ourselves on delivering a quality service, at an affordable price, with the customer's best interests at heart.
"We have used The North Star Companies for several jobs in the past, with the most recent being the largest. We hired them do a complete renovation of our home in Severn. The job grew larger as demo began and turned into a job requiring the rebuild of exterior walls, demo of concrete slabs - basically the house had to be rebuilt from the ground up. All new plumbing, electric, framing, windows, siding, roof, etc. I have known Chris for 20+ years and was confident that our forever home would be solid and done right. We had a few hiccups throughout the process - as this was done during Covid, so there were supply issues, delays and so forth, but Chris and his guys did an amazing job. We couldn't be happier and are continuously getting compliments on our beautiful home. Chris has been and will continue to be our go-to for any construction needs for us and our family and friends."

Converting an existing space into a laundry room is more affordable than building a new addition. While new additions start at $5,000, renovating an existing space for laundry use can begin at $1,300.
Your specific costs will depend on whether plumbing and electrical connections exist nearby, the quality of finishes you select, and whether any structural modifications are needed. Always budget extra for unexpected issues, particularly in older homes where hidden problems might surface during renovation.
The smallest practical size for a new laundry room addition is 35 square feet, which provides enough space for basic appliances and minimal storage. For renovations utilizing existing space, smaller footprints might work with space-saving solutions like stacked appliances.
A standard-sized laundry room of 60 square feet offers more comfort and functionality, allowing for counter space and storage cabinets. The optimal size depends on your household needs and available space.
Yes, adding a laundry room requires several permits, particularly for new additions. You'll need building permits, plus specific permits for electrical work, plumbing installations, and possibly HVAC modifications.
Requirements vary significantly by municipality, so consulting with your local building department before starting work is essential. Proceeding without proper permits can result in fines, mandatory removal of completed work, and complications when selling your property.
The timeline for completing a laundry room addition varies based on project complexity, contractor availability, and permit processing times. Factors that can extend the schedule include material delivery delays, weather conditions, and unforeseen structural issues discovered during construction.
Renovating an existing space often requires less time than building a completely new addition. Working with an experienced contractor who can coordinate various tradespeople efficiently helps keep your project on schedule.
