We are capable of working with a budget for any project, whether it be for a home, office or commercial property.

"It was a great experience working with Vick. There was no way we would've been able to quarterback the project and have it done as quickly as he was able to, so 100% worth hiring him. Our project was gutting the kitchen and expanding it into the dining room (eliminating the wall to create one big kitchen), painting and new flooring throughout the 1st floor. He was able to get us on schedule QUICK and was good at communication. The job was subcontracted out, but the people Victor brought in were reliable, friendly, and hard working. Demo started 3/1 and the project was completed 5/3. A majority of the time was waiting on the appliances, then cabinets, then counters to come in so really all out of Vick's control. Once they were in though, Vick was quick to get the crew working again."

"Unlike other reviews, our experience with Jeff Bowen @ Bowen Contracting left us very frustrated and disappointed due to 4 months of never showing up to build a deck, lots of broken promises, lack of truthfulness and finally when we lost trust in Jeff and felt he longer had integrity as a contractor. Jeff is a contractor who over-promises and under delivers- and I would stay away from him unless he could commit to a schedule and finish date that included penalty clauses for unintended delays. For us we signed a contract with Jeff on 11/4 to build a simple 14x20 deck, paid Jeff his $500 scheduling fee and even provided our credit card number so he could purchase materials and expedite the delivery process. Over the course of 4 months, we were informed by Jeff that materials were ordered, then would be ordered, then again they were ordered (even though my credit card was never charged). We stressed the urgency to him to order materials due to possible covid lead times or the possibility of items being discontinued, to no avails. We asked Jeff to pour footings before the temps dropped and he kept promising to come out "tomorrow" or "next week", but he was always a no-show with no follow-up about why he/his team never arrived on site. After 4 months of delays, the final straw was Jeff sent us a text saying- I have "good news, bad news". The bad news was even though Jeff informed us materials were ordered, he never ordered anything.... not deck boards, rails, lattice... anything. We were told, if you want work started, we would have to pay we pay an add'l $2,400 over the signed contract (or really $2,900 over the all cash alternative) due to material prices increasing. We asked for material quotes from before and after and got silence. Since the delays in ordering materials were not ours, we informed Jeff that we would be enforcing the contract rate and his response was he could not do the work for us at that price. If a contractor has you sign his legal contract, and doesn't honor his side- he's lost all his integrity. I'm sure if we called him up and said- hey Jeff, we have good new bad news- and the bad news is we're going to pay you $14,000 instead of $16,000- that wouldn't fly with him and he would enforce the contract on us. Due to zero work being performed at our home in nearly 4 months, we had to contact Angie's List to initiate the contractor complaint process, as well as, terminate our contract and provide legal notice to Jeff/Bowen Contracting that he was in Breach of Contract. Today, we finally received back our demand for full refund ($500 scheduling fee) for a job that was never scheduled. Jeff may be a nice guy, but buyer beware. Jeff is not a man of his word and gives you the run-around and that is going to be his downfall in business."

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.
