Installing a Washer and Dryer in a Los Angeles Condo

At The Twin Home Experts, we have serviced condos for over 25 years here in Los Angeles, from a 6,000 square feet location on the Wilshire Corridor to a one bedroom studio in West Hollywood.

We get asked quite often when units are not originally equipped with washer and dryer hook ups, “Can I install a washer and dryer in my unit?” You will want to ask the board members or the property manager first because, in the HOA’s Rules and Regulations, there may be a clause that clearly defines no washers and dryers.

Here is a video of a project that we looked at for a customer in West Hollywood. As you can see, it is an ideal location:

Once you have had the green light from them (we would recommend you to get it in writing), you will probably be required by the HOA to hire someone with condo insurance, bonds, and a license to work in buildings. You want that, regardless. We always recommend that you hire a plumber and have them name the building and yourself as additional insurance. This protects you in case there are damages to your unit and common areas while performing the work.

The next step is determining where you want the washer and dryer. We would recommend choosing a few options because the most ideal place is sometimes the most costly and is a location with no plumbing. Great places to look for are behind kitchen sinks, behind toilets, pr a location that is close to an outside wall. Keep in mind that if you’re on the first floor, you have a great advantage with more options, especially if there is sub-garage below with all of the exposed plumbing.

Here are a list of items that should assist you in organizing the project:
