Laundry is a part of our weekly—if not daily—routine, and the room in which we carry out this chore can influence our efficiency and even our mood. For many homeowners, their laundry room is often an overlooked space that is either too cramped, lacks functionality, or is simply not optimized for efficient use. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. Honey-Doers understands the significance of a functional laundry room and offers specialized services tailored to meet your specific laundry room remodel ideas.
A laundry room is often viewed merely as a utilitarian space, but with thoughtful redesign and renovation, it can become one of the most efficient and aesthetically pleasing areas in your home. Here are several compelling reasons to consider a laundry room remodel:
Considering these points, it’s clear that a laundry room remodel goes beyond aesthetics. It’s about enhancing the functionality of a space, making chores more enjoyable, and ensuring that the room evolves with the changing needs of your family. And of course, the added benefit of increasing your home’s market value is a bonus that pays dividends in the long run.
Certainly, when embarking on a laundry room remodel, differentiating between the essential “have-to-haves” and the desirable “nice-to-haves” can guide the remodeling process and budget allocation. Let’s dive into each category:

While not strictly necessary, these elements can significantly enhance the laundry experience.
In essence, the “have-to-haves” ensure that the laundry room is a functional and safe space for carrying out household chores. In contrast, the “nice-to-haves” are about personalization, convenience, and maximizing the potential of the room. Depending on your budget, priorities, and laundry habits, finding the right balance between these two categories can create a laundry room that’s both practical and enjoyable to use.
Unlike other rooms in your home, an unfinished laundry room isn’t optimized for the specific tasks of washing, drying, and folding. Such spaces lack proper insulation, finished flooring, drywall, and dedicated plumbing. A partially finished laundry room might have undergone some basic modifications to cater to immediate needs, but it lacks the complete setup of a fully functional laundry room.
Honey-Doers is your trusted partner for laundry room remodeling. You’ll need a laundry room remodeling contractor when your space is semi-finished or entirely finished but needs alterations for enhanced functionality or aesthetic appeal.
The scope of remodeling varies based on how you envision the transformation of your laundry space. Tasks involved in a remodeling project may include:
Renovation in the context of laundry rooms pertains to making specific improvements and repairs. The primary aim is to restore the room to its original, intended function, while perhaps modernizing certain aspects. Such projects might involve:
When considering any of these services for your laundry room, it’s crucial to understand the distinctions. The choice between finishing, remodeling, and renovation will influence both the project’s cost and the budget a contractor, like Honey-Doers, will present to you.
It’s no secret that Honey-Doers is your one-stop solution to high-quality yet affordable home remodeling—superficial updates to intense expansions or gutting—but we can also fine-tune your home’s curb appeal. Just as trends change for interior décor, so do trends for your exterior.
First impressions are lasting impressions. The integrity of your home can be compromised by decaying fences, poorly planned landscaping, crumbling retaining walls or outdated siding. Not only can these things keep your home from being seen for what it should be, but they also pose a risk for causing structural damage to your house. Badly deteriorated windows can allow water leaks to slowly damage your wall’s interiors while poorly graded landscapes can lead water straight to your foundation.
We’ll help you remodel the exterior of your home to not only spare you from damaging effects like those, but we value your ideas for what the exterior of your home could look like. Create a totally modern exterior or let us build to complement your neighborhood whether it’s in South Minneapolis or Eden Prairie.
Life happens outdoors, too. Some of the best experiences a Minnesotan can have happen when they aren’t fighting the snow and combatting the wind chill. The home remodeling professionals at Honey-Doers can help you fully utilize your home by bringing your living space outdoors. Turn unused space into the site for future cookouts, birthday parties, outdoor showers, fire pits or a deck fit for the next family reunion.
Start by evaluating the existing laundry room’s size, layout, and overall condition to identify what functions properly and what needs change. This foundational assessment sets the stage for the remodel and gives clarity about the scope of work required. Following this, outline all the essentials and desired features for the revamped laundry room. By distinguishing between needs and luxury features, you ensure the remodel prioritizes functionality while also integrating aspirational elements. Once you have a clear vision, decide on a maximum budget. Setting a financial boundary will guide decisions throughout the process and ensure the project remains within feasible limits.
If your remodeling contractor doesn’t offer design services, you might consider hiring a designer. A design professional can provide invaluable insights on how best to maximize space, enhance functionality, and elevate style. With expert input, finalize the layout of the room, deciding on the placement of appliances, storage, and other key elements. This step is pivotal in ensuring an efficient workflow and that all components fit seamlessly within the space. Once the blueprint is set, it’s time to select materials for flooring, cabinets, and countertops and decide on the appliances. Your choices should harmonize with your budget, functional requirements, and aesthetic aspirations.
Before diving into construction, familiarize yourself with local regulations. Depending on your area, remodeling might require specific permits, ensuring your remodel adheres to local building codes. Once administrative tasks are squared away, prepare the space. This entails clearing out the current laundry room, ensuring a clean slate for construction and safeguarding items from potential damage.
The construction phase kicks off with the demolition, wherein any old cabinets, fixtures, or even walls (as per the design) are removed, readying the room for its new avatar. Subsequent to this, any necessary plumbing and electrical work should be addressed. Proper rerouting or installation of plumbing lines and electrical wiring will ensure that all appliances and fixtures are both functional and safe. After the groundwork, lay down the chosen flooring material. A well-selected floor will withstand moisture and regular traffic, ensuring longevity. Then, integrate storage solutions and countertops, offering the room much-needed storage and workspace. Finally, install the primary stars of the space – the washing machine, dryer, and any other pertinent appliances.
As the remodel nears completion, it’s time for painting and other finishing touches. These not only augment the room’s aesthetic but also protect surfaces. Thoroughly review the entire remodel, ensuring everything aligns with the plan, all elements work as they should, and no tasks are pending. Such a meticulous quality check guarantees that the renovated space meets all specifications and operates optimally. Conclude the process with a thorough post-construction cleanup, ensuring homeowners return to a pristine and rejuvenated environment.
By following this comprehensive process, homeowners can ensure their laundry room remodel is systematic, efficient, and results in a space that aligns with their vision and needs.
At Honey-Doers, we believe that a functional laundry room doesn’t have to compromise on style. With years of experience and a deep understanding of design principles, our team will:
