A laundry room remodel in Colorado typically costs $3,000 to $10,000, depending on size and scope. A refresh — new tile floor, a utility sink, paint, and a cabinet or two — lands at the lower end. Reconfiguring plumbing, adding cabinetry and counters, or relocating the washer and dryer pushes it higher. The finished laundry room below is a recent Josh Brooks Construction project on the Front Range.
What goes into a laundry room remodel
- Flooring: durable, water-resistant tile or luxury vinyl — the biggest visual change for the money
- Utility sink and faucet: a deep basin and sprayer faucet for real-world laundry use
- Counter and cabinetry: folding surface, storage, and a place to hide detergent and supplies
- Plumbing and drainage: supply lines, a proper floor drain, and washer hookups done to code
- Ventilation: a correctly routed dryer vent — important at altitude and for fire safety
- Paint and finish work to tie it together
What drives the price up or down
The two biggest cost levers are plumbing and layout. Keeping the washer, dryer, and sink where they already are keeps costs down. Moving them — or adding a sink where there wasn’t one — means new supply and drain lines, which adds labor and permitting. Material choices (custom cabinetry and stone counters vs. stock cabinets and laminate) move the number as much as anything.
Common questions
Do I need a permit to remodel a laundry room in Colorado?
Cosmetic work usually doesn’t, but moving plumbing, electrical, or gas lines typically requires a permit and inspection. Your contractor should pull it for you.
How long does a laundry room remodel take?
A straightforward refresh is often a few days to a week. Reconfiguring plumbing or layout can run two to three weeks including inspections.
Does a laundry room remodel add home value?
A functional, attractive laundry room is a common buyer request in Colorado, so it tends to pay back well relative to its modest cost.
