Installation of an exterior laundry shed, providing enclosed space for a washer and dryer outside the main house. The work covered preparing and levelling the base, assembling and setting the structure, and anchoring it down. Because the building houses appliances, the service connections matter as much as the shell: the unit needs a supply, a drain and a properly protected electrical circuit, and it needs to shed water away from all three. We sealed the structure against weather and confirmed drainage falls away from the building rather than back toward the house. Moving laundry out of the main house frees up interior square footage, which in Los Angeles is worth considerably more than the cost of the shed. We handle the structure, the connections and the finishing.

Ask about permits before you buy the shed. A small storage shed is often exempt from a building permit, but new plumbing and electrical connections usually are not, and setback rules can limit where a structure may sit. Requirements differ between the City of Los Angeles, other cities and unincorporated county areas, so we check with the department that covers your address.
Think about the machines too. A gas dryer needs a gas line and combustion air, a vibrating washer needs a stiff floor, and exposed pipes need protection from sun and the occasional cold night. Moving laundry outside frees up interior floor area, which is why homeowners in Los Angeles ask for this.
