Laundry, built in
What can you build in a laundry room?
Upper and lower cabinets, a counter over front-load machines for folding, and a rod for hanging clothes to dry, laid out together in one plan around your washer and dryer. We measure the room, design it with you in 3D, and our own team installs it.
Small rooms, real machines
How do you fit storage into a small laundry room or laundry closet?
We start with the machines, not the cabinets. At the consultation we measure the room and your washer and dryer, including how far the doors and lids open and where you stand to load them, then plan the storage around that. The 3D design shows what fits before you commit.
Top-loading washers
A top-loader needs room above it for the lid. We keep anything above it high enough for the lid to open all the way.
Within reach
Cabinets over the machines sit high, and higher still if your machines are on pedestals. We put what you use every week down low and the rarely used things up top.
Laundry closets
A laundry closet behind doors works the same way, just tighter. A shelf or cabinet over the machines and a short rod can take the detergent and the hangers off the dryer.
A place to fold
Can you put a folding counter over front-load machines?
Yes. A counter over side-by-side front-loaders turns the top of the machines into a place to fold, with cabinets above and a rod nearby for what goes straight onto a hanger.
What happens when we replace the washer or dryer?
The counter is planned so the machines can still slide out for service or replacement. If new machines are coming soon, tell us the model at the consultation and we design around the new ones.
Hang it, store it
Where do I hang clothes to dry, and where does everything else go?
A hanging rod
Over the counter or beside the machines, for shirts that come straight out of the dryer and anything that has to air-dry.
Lower cabinets
Behind doors for detergent, cleaners, and spare supplies, so the top of the dryer stays clear.
Upper cabinets
For the things you reach for less often.
Baskets and the ironing board
Tell us what you use and where it lives now, and we leave a place for it in the plan.
Honest about water
Will laundry cabinets survive a leak?
A laundry room is one of the few rooms in the house with water lines behind the furniture, so we would rather be plain about it. Our cabinets are not built to sit in water from a leak or an overflow, and our lifetime warranty does not cover damage from moisture, water, humidity, flooding, or leaks.
Shutoff valves stay reachable
We do not move plumbing. We plan the cabinets so the water shutoff valves behind your machines stay easy to reach.
Read the full terms on our warranty page.
What we do not do
Do you add sinks, move plumbing, or add outlets?
No, and we would rather say so up front. We design and install cabinets, counters, and hanging rods. We do not install sinks, move plumbing, do electrical work, or patch and paint walls. If you need a plumber, an electrician, or a painter, we can put you in touch with people we trust.
Do the washer and dryer have to come out for installation?
Usually not. Most laundry rooms are designed so we can install around the machines without moving them. If they do need to come out, our team moves them and sets them back.
Laundry and mudroom
Can the laundry room be a mudroom too?
In many DMV homes the laundry is right inside the garage door, where everyone comes in. We can design both in one plan: cabinets and a counter on the laundry side, hooks, a bench, and cubbies for coats, shoes, and bags on the other.
See our mudroom built-ins.
Pricing
What do custom laundry room cabinets cost?
It depends on your room, so we do not quote from a chart. Here is what actually moves the number, and how you get an exact price before you commit.
We measure your laundry room, design it with you in 3D, and give you an exact price in writing. The quote is the invoice: what you approve is what you pay.
How much wall you cover
One shelf over the machines and a full wall of cabinets are different projects, even in the same finish.
Uppers, lowers, or both
Lower cabinets beside the machines add storage and add to the total.
A counter over the machines
A folding counter is a line item you can add or leave out.
Working around things
Windows, doors, water heaters, and valves change the layout, and sometimes the price.
Exact price in writing at your free consultation.
Store shelf or custom?
Three questions, one answer.
Does one shelf over the machines hold everything?
YESA shelf from the hardware store will do the job.
NOAre you moving soon?
YESGo store-bought. Ours is fastened to the house and stays with it.
NODo you need it this weekend?
YESGo store-bought. Ours is cut to order, and that takes 2 to 3 weeks after you approve the design.
NO
None of those?
Go custom. The room is tight, with machines, doors, a water heater, or a window to work around. Standard sizes leave gaps around all of that. Custom is laid out around it.
Planning to stay also points to custom. Our lifetime warranty has no service fees, for as long as you own and live in the home.

FAQ
Real questions. Straight answers.
How much do custom laundry room cabinets cost?
It depends on how much wall you cover, whether you want upper cabinets, lower cabinets, or both, and whether you add a folding counter over the machines. We do not quote from a chart. We measure your room, design it in 3D, and give you an exact price in writing at your free consultation, before you commit.
Do you install laundry sinks or move plumbing?
No. We design and install cabinets, counters, and hanging rods. We do not install sinks, move plumbing, or do electrical work. If you need a plumber or an electrician, we can put you in touch with people we trust.
Can you build storage in a laundry closet?
Yes. A laundry closet works the same way as a laundry room, just tighter. We measure it, plan around your machines, and show you in 3D what fits before you commit.
Do you remove my old wire shelving?
Yes. Removing your existing wire shelving is part of every installation, and we haul it away. We don't remove wood shelves and rods or other closet systems, and we don't do demolition. Patching the screw holes the old shelving leaves is not included. If you want the wall patched or painted, that needs to happen before installation.
How long does a laundry room project take?
Most projects are built in 2 to 3 weeks after you approve your 3D design. Your agreement shows the expected completion date.
Are your installers employees or subcontractors?
Employees. Every laundry room is installed by our own team, never subcontractors. The people who design your laundry room are the people who stand behind it.
What areas do you serve?
We serve homeowners across the DMV: Montgomery, Howard, Frederick, and Prince George's Counties in Maryland, plus Fairfax, Loudoun, and Arlington Counties in Northern Virginia, and Washington, DC. That includes Gaithersburg, Rockville, Silver Spring, Bethesda, Ashburn, Reston, and McLean.
