Laundry Room Renovation Costs in Vancouver

The laundry room is often the most neglected room in the house — and one of the most practically impactful to renovate. In Metro Vancouver, where suite development is common, a well-designed laundry area serves both units efficiently.

Laundry Room Renovation Costs

Scope Cost Range
Appliance upgrade only (W+D pair) $1,500–$4,000
Basic renovation (flooring, paint, storage) $5,000–$12,000
Mid-range renovation (custom cabinetry, folding counter, sink) $12,000–$28,000
Laundry room addition (new space) $25,000–$55,000
Combined laundry/mudroom renovation $20,000–$45,000

Key Laundry Room Upgrades

  • Folding counter above washer/dryer: Adds functionality, easy with MDF and laminate. $800–$2,500.
  • Upper cabinets: Storage for detergent, supplies, seasonal items. $2,000–$6,000.
  • Utility sink: For handwash items, soaking, and utility cleaning. Plumber required. $1,500–$3,500 installed.
  • Tile or LVP flooring: Waterproof flooring for laundry is essential. $1,500–$4,000 for a typical laundry room.

Shared Laundry for Suites

Vancouver secondary suite regulations allow shared laundry between the main home and suite. If adding a suite, design the laundry room for shared access — a separate entry or pass-through significantly improves tenant satisfaction and reduces vacancy.
