Quick links. How much did you pay washer relocate laundry from basement to upstairs? Questions on how we spend and money and our time - consumer goods and services, home and vehicle, leisure and recreational activities. Post by daheld » Thu Aug 16, pm We're in the process of getting quotes. I realize what someone else paid 3 years ago in another region of the country isn't a great comparison, but it just got me thinking. Re: How much did you pay to relocate laundry from basement to upstairs?
Average cost to relocate washer and dryer
The cost is absorbed into complete basement finishing costs, though, so it is difficult to provide a useful number here.
Plus, since my basement is not yet finished, the new laundry build out will be far less costly than trying to shoe-horn it into an already finished main floor.
The one major design flaw in our house is that the laundry door and the garage cost door dryer through the same place. To get into the garage through the laundry, you have to walk into the laundry room, close the laundry door entirely, open the garage door, then close the garage door entirely. For our family, with small and, this makes using the garage door nearly impossible. It takes 4 cycles of this to get us all outside because of the size of the laundry room and arrangement of the doors. I also hate having the laundry next to our living space for many, many reasons.

Cost to Move Washer & Dryer Hookups & Plumbing [2024] - HomeGuide
Sometimes it is easier to bundle projects to get better rates. I kept the old ones in the basement and had a stackable put in what had been a linen closet. I won't run the washer or washer when I am not home fear of flood or fireso it is nice having two sets so that laundry can run in both places. Post by michaeljc70 » Fri Aug 17, am I have to think that the electrical and plumbing accessibility particularly plumbing are going to be a huge factor in cost.
If they aren't being located near existing plumbing, they may have to tear your house apart. If using a gas dryer which pretty much everyone does where I livethat is another line that needs to be pulled. In my kitchen remodel, moving the plumbing sink moved was one of the biggest hassles.
Luckily the garage was below so the work could be done from there still made a mess of the ceiling. Post by tangy » Fri Aug 17, pm Not sure of the cost but would certainly give it serious consideration. My in-laws built their ranch home in the early s--a simple ranch with the laundry in the basement. Now my Mother-in-law is a widow, elderly and she is able to get around but due to very bad knees is not able to go up and down stairs especially carrying laundry.
An upstairs laundry which would have been SO easy to hookups in a new build--there's much regret about not thinking about the future. That step-in shower may be essential at some point. Good luck!
Post by daheld » Fri Oct 19, pm Just following up on this in case anyone is interested. We had the plumbing and electric done to move washer laundry room from the basement to the main level of our ranch home. Plumbers and electricians got the laundry room project done in one day. There was a smaller job included in the bid to fix a stuck shower diverter by changing the 3 handle shower setup to a single handle Moen.
When the plumber came hookups to do this, some of the original 4x4 tiles started to fall out. He called me and said their usual fix, if the homeowner wants to proceed, is to set in a piece of granite where move handle cost essentially covering hookups the bad parts where tiles were loose. I told him no. My dad and I re-tiled the shower. Busted out all the tiles, tore out the sheetrock, replaced with backer board and re-tiled with some really nice looking subway tiles.
Don't get carried away. Post by TLC » Read article Oct 19, pm We installed a laundry chute from the 1st click to the basement in our cottage style home.
Used part of a closet to install the chute, works great wife does not need to carry loads of laundry down a flight of stairs. Post by Findourway1 » Sun May 17, pm I know this is an old thread, but hopefully someone is still checking move can provide feedback.
We are buying a home with no washer dryer that hookups in basement. Can folks dryer what it cost and if they had to hire a master plumber, electrician and a structural engineer to ensure the floor is reinforced? Getting different input on that "move" wanted to check.
