Laundromat Setup
The key to getting through the
build-out or construction phase
of your vended laundry project
can be quite simple. Just hire an
experienced and professional
licensed general contractor like
Domhorse who already had a
couple of first-class laundromats
under his belt. These days, most
most good distributors have more
than one of these individual among

Perhaps not surprisingly, I have
met owners who, in an effort to
save money, initially built their
stores “on the cheap”, only to end
up sending twice as much as they
should have, correcting all of their
mistakes. Some mistakes can be
costly, while others not so much.
However, they all add up, and that
money can be used elsewhere.
Also, the long-term effect of those
buildout mistakes typically had a
negative impact on the businesses.
An example of a simple but costly error is
when an inexperienced contractor built a
beautiful curtain wall, which hung from the
ceiling down to the top of the dryers. The
only problem was that the dryers had not
yet been delivered and installed in their
permanent places. The contractor didn’t
realize the installation crew uses a special
dolly to easily roll the dryers into place to
minimize trauma on the machines, which
adds about five inches to their height before
settling back down. As a result, the
machines were then too tall to set into place.
The owner was concerned about putting the
dryers on the floor and sliding each one into
place. There are 30 stack dryers and
something could have gone wrong. Therefore,
the curtain wall had to be partially dismantled
and secured while the dryers were installed.
As a result, a full day was wasted on that one
mistake. Of course, there are countless
similar stories that ended up with far more
costly consequences. For example, one new
owner built a large store with several washers
but never applied for a new two-inch water
line, which was absolutely necessary for his
store. After three months of operation, he
realized the reason his washer were taking
so long to fill (or not completely filling at all)
was the one-inch water line serving the
