What drives a laundry room remodel cost

Laundry rooms are small but plumbing-dense, which is why the per-square-foot number looks high: water lines, drainage, venting, and dedicated electrical all live in a closet-sized space. A budget remodel adds cabinets, a counter, and better lighting around existing hookups; a high-end one relocates the machines, adds a utility sink and tile, and hides everything behind custom cabinetry. Moving the water and drain lines is the line that separates a refresh from a real remodel.
