Laundry room conversion

Shawn Sopic
Posted

I’m currently working on a flip in central/western PA in a rural area. We converted an existing extra room into a brand new looking laundry room with washer and dryer hookups. The laundry was previously in the unfinished basement. Should I include cabinets/shelving or just leave the room bare with just the hookups so whoever buys it can design it how they want?

I’m getting tight on budget and want to make sure it would be worth while to add cabinets/shelving before I do so. 

To give more background info, this house is a 3-4 bedroom house with 2.5 baths, 2700 sq ft in a nice rural neighborhood with fenced in yard. Bought for $95k, putting 120-130k into rehab with labor/materials. Comps are going for around $300k (but I think ours has a littler nicer finishes so may go higher). 

And I would appreciate it if anyone has any other tips when tight on budget to get the most bang for your buck. 

Thanks!

Cabinets can be costly. I wont say it's 100% necessary for a laundry room. You can install those floating shelves to maximize space which also people to put their detergent and cleaning supplies.
