Laundry Closet Install AVG cost?

[Jeff Cua]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has converted a small closet into a space for a compact stackable washer/dryer area in a single family home. Anyone with experience have any tips in keeping the cost down with this project? First quote was 10k not including appliances which is higher than I expect from research of cost associated. Any help is appreciated. I am located in the Bay Area if anyone would like to refer. Thanks.

$10,000/$100 per hour comes out to 100 hours or 2 1/2 weeks. Working in between floors will add to the cost. Even if they have to deal with iron pipe 2 1/2 weeks is ridiculous. If they have to go thru a rock wall add a day. Shop around.

 That's not how you do the math.....

Plans+Permits+GC Labor Cost+Subcontractor Cost+Materials+ Appliances+Markup= Project Cost
