Rick grew up in a family of hard working contractors, and has been learning the skills of the trade since a very young age. He brings to the table a high level of expertise that is often hard to come by, and will always take the time to get the job done right.
"Rick was very responsive at first and eager to get started on my bathroom remodel job for one of my apartments. He is commended for having to respond to quote request fast. I decided to give him a chance to do a good job before handing a bigger jobs for my other properties. Before the work started, I emphasized that the dust control and cleanup was very, very important to me. The job involved lots of demolition work inside the apartment - naturally, there will be lots of dust. The apartment is currently occupied and has lots of furniture, computers and audio equipment that I wanted to protect. I thought he and his workers were communicated this request. I even offered the use of dust control fan and Zip Wall to isolate the work area but he said he will be fine without them. Once the job started, I was away for one week to take care of my family. When I returned, I discovered that the door to the adjacent room was left open. That is my office with all the equipment and important papers. They left their construction material and equipment in this room. I was horrified that there are fine dust everywhere - on my printer, computer peripherals, furniture. I brought this issue up with Rick. Nothing happened. The worst part was that the job was declared done and I paid the service in full - They never returned to clean up and pickup the equipment. After almost a whole month, the supply and equipment is still there. I had to spend extra time cleaning up after their mess. Very unprofessional. Lessons learned. Do not pay the balance until all the cleaning is done and all the equipment removed. I expect the clean up and dust control to be a part of the job. I also repeatedly asked or professionally prepared invoices with vendor name and address, job details and the most important of all, the invoice number - all of these essential information is important to keep track of expenses for my projects. The SMS texts message and e-mail messages were not appropriate for this purpose. I explained to Rick that my CPA requires them many times. I even sent him a sample invoice and quote in Microsoft Word template - he never understood what I was asking. He is a nice guy, but not a good project manager or competent business person. The work was done, however, the work quality is fair to good - I had to go back and correct some sloppy work. Lacking attention to details and follow up bothered me. The biggest issues is the lack of clean up and keeping the worksite cleans so he and his crew gets an F. I do not think I will be hiring his company in my future projects."

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.
