A laundry room remodel costs $11,000 on average nationally, with most projects between $6,000 and $17,000 and simple updates starting around $1,800 while luxury renovations reach $42,000, according to Angi (updated October 2026)1. HomeAdvisor – corporate sibling publishing matching figures, which alone do not establish independent corroboration – reports the same $11,000 average and ranges (updated June 2026)2. Fixr publishes a lower national average of $7,000 within an average range of $4,000 to $12,000 (updated January 2025)3; the averages diverge across publishers, and no conclusion about which applies follows from the differences. Per square foot, HomeAdvisor puts the remodel at $60 to $3002 while Fixr puts it at $115 to $250 with labor included3 – separately published figures that diverge, with no conclusion about which applies.
