"Jim and crew are reliable and knowledgeable. I agree with all that Dana C in Kensington shared. We hired Jim to close in a carport for an addition by seeing the work he was completing for Dana. I then had him remodel an old garage that needed a face lift. We now have Jim building a ranch home for us from the ground up. It is going just as well. If only the prices due to the economy were not so disappointing. Materials are through the roof as a result. Here hoping for some REAL change in 2025 !!!!"

With over 10 years of professional installation experience I expertly install new tile and make repairs in a clean timely manner for an affordable price! We also offer demolition!
"These guys were fantastic. We had replaced our kitchen tile without using Angi’s two years ago. They did a terrible job, not lining the tiles properly, not grouting properly, and they didn’t remove the issues at the base of the tiles, so overtime our tiles were cracking. The contractor had promised us he’d come back to finish the grouting when he left in Friday, but asked for payment. New homeowner mistake, I paid him. He never responded to my messages after that. ALV came in the same day I posted on Angi’s, gave a reasonable quote, and then bought the tiles we were looking at the next day. 3 days later, the project is complete, the grout finished, everything looks fantastic. 10/10 would use these guys again."

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.
