Laundry Room Renovation


After nearly three weeks, my severely outdated laundry has been completely renovated. Here's what I did, and how much it cost:


  • tore down panelling on walls and removed old cabinets- $0

  • created a wall to cover exposed pipes- $0

  • repaired walls and ceiling- $150 (hired someone)

  • painted walls and ceiling- $60

  • purchased and installed cabinets- $140

  • purchases new dryer vent- $30

The entire room was completed for under $400, which I think was good. The professional I hired to smooth out the walls was well worth the money. We now have a much more functional room that is more spacious, has more and better storage, and just looks more inviting. I was also happy to replace the old metal foil dryer vent with a rigid metal one that puts the dryer closer to the wall.

How did you rip out a wall and put up a new one for free?

Didn't the dump charge you for disposal and where did you get the new materials for the wall?

Inquiring minds need to know.

I have to finish the basement next and have to tear down some walls and create some others.

Warm regards,
