Laundry room renovations in Vancouver
More space, better storage and a proper place to fold, in condos, townhomes and basements, designed and built by one team.
Laundry room renovations in Vancouver: quick answers
Short answers to the questions we hear most.
- How much does a laundry room renovation cost?
- It depends on whether walls, plumbing or venting move. In a West End sub-penthouse we reframed and expanded the laundry room with custom shelving and a new washer and dryer for about $17,800 before GST, as part of a whole-suite renovation.
- Can stacked laundry be changed to side-by-side?
- Often, if there is space to borrow. In that West End condo the laundry was expanded into the old entry closet for a side-by-side Bosch washer and dryer, a folding counter and upper cabinets.
- Do I need strata approval to change my condo laundry?
- Usually, because it involves walls, plumbing or the dryer vent. QUAY prepares the strata application as part of the project; see strata renovations.
- How is it priced and guaranteed?
- You get a fixed-price proposal before construction starts, and completed work is backed by our 365-day workmanship warranty.
A laundry room that works every day
Most laundry spaces are a closet with stacked machines and nowhere to fold. Borrowing a little space, adding cabinets and a counter, and getting the venting and drainage right makes a room you use every day far easier.
QUAY Construction renovates laundry rooms and laundry closets in condos, townhomes and houses across Vancouver, usually as part of a larger renovation.

From a stacked closet to a proper laundry room
In this West End condo the laundry was stacked units in a closet. We took out the entry closet beside it, framed a new wall and built a proper laundry room with a side-by-side Bosch washer and dryer, a counter for folding and white upper cabinets.
The laundry room came to about $17,800 before GST, as part of a whole-suite renovation completed in May 2024.
What decides the layout.
A few practical things set what a laundry room can be.
- Space to borrow: an adjoining closet, hallway or part of a room
- Drain and water: how far the machines can move from existing plumbing
- Dryer venting: the route to the outside, or a ventless dryer
- Electrical: circuits for the machines and lighting
- Strata rules: in condos, approval for wall, plumbing or vent changes

Do you install the washer and dryer?+
Yes, as part of the renovation, including new machines like the side-by-side Bosch pair in our West End project.
