Laundry room cabinets that bring order to the chaos

Custom laundry room cabinets for NJ homes — turn your hardest-working room into your best-organized one

The laundry room is the most overlooked room in the NJ home — and often the most chaotic. Detergent bottles lined up on the washer, stray socks on the floor, no folding surface, no place to hang anything that needs to air dry. Custom laundry room cabinets from Closettec solve all of that in a single installation. We’ve been building custom storage for NJ families since 1989, and laundry room transformations are among the projects our clients are most consistently delighted by.

Closettec builds custom laundry room cabinets throughout New Jersey — from the older homes of Essex and Union counties with tight utility rooms to newer construction in Middlesex and Monmouth where laundry rooms have more space to work with — and in Staten Island as well. More than 37 years in the business means we’ve designed functional storage for every laundry room layout imaginable. Every installation comes with full professional setup and a 10-year warranty.

Our family-owned team approaches every laundry room the way we approach every project — by listening first. How does laundry move through the room? Who does it, and when? Is there space for a folding counter? Does someone need a hanging rod for delicates? The answers shape a design that makes the room genuinely functional. You can read about the difference this makes in our Google Reviews — the phrase we hear often is ‘I don’t know how I lived without it.’

Here’s a recent review from a Closettec customer whose needs included a laundry room:

Closettec did a beautiful job designing, producing and installing 2 closets and a laundry room in our new home. My wife and I are able to store so many more items in the closets. Everything was just the right height and came out perfect. The installers were very courteous and made any slight changes we wanted. Great job.

What storage features should a well-designed laundry room include?

The most functional laundry rooms separate three distinct zones: a washing and drying zone with clear access to machines, a supplies zone for detergents, fabric softener, and cleaning products, and a finishing zone for folding, hanging, and sorting. Upper cabinets handle supplies and household overflow. A countertop over the machines creates a folding surface. A hanging rod gives delicates and air-dry items a dedicated place.

Closettec designs all of these elements as a cohesive system — not as separate pieces pushed together. The result is a room that has a clear workflow and a place for everything that passes through it.

Can Closettec build laundry room cabinets around existing machines and fixtures?

Yes — and this is standard practice for us. Washers, dryers, utility sinks, and plumbing lines are all part of the design equation. Our installers work around existing fixtures precisely, building cabinetry that fits the space without requiring any relocation of machines or pipes.

For stacked washer/dryer configurations, we can design tall cabinetry on either side and above the unit, creating significant storage in a compact vertical footprint. For side-by-side machines, a countertop over both creates an ideal folding surface with cabinetry above and on either end.

What finish options does Closettec offer for laundry room cabinets?

Laundry rooms don’t have to feel utilitarian. Closettec offers a full range of finishes — from classic white and neutral painted options to wood tones that bring warmth to a working room. We can coordinate with any adjacent hallway, mudroom, or basement finishes to create a cohesive look throughout the space.

Soft-close doors and drawer hardware are standard across our cabinet lines, which matters in a high-use room where doors and drawers are opened dozens of times a day. The quality of the hardware is part of what makes a Closettec laundry room feel different from a big-box cabinet installation.

Frequently asked questions

Can Closettec build a folding counter over my washer and dryer?

Yes. A countertop over side-by-side machines is one of the most popular elements of our laundry room designs. We build it at the right height and depth for comfortable use, with cabinets above for supplies storage.

How do I add storage to a small laundry room?

Vertical space is the answer in tight laundry rooms. Upper cabinets that extend to the ceiling, shelving on side walls, and a hanging rod above or beside the machines can add substantial storage without requiring more floor space.

Can Closettec install laundry room cabinets around a utility sink?

Yes. Utility sinks are a common feature in NJ laundry rooms, and we design cabinetry around them regularly. We account for the sink’s footprint and any under-sink plumbing in the design layout.

What’s the difference between laundry room cabinets and kitchen cabinets?

Functionally similar, but designed for different workflows. Laundry room cabinets typically incorporate hanging rods, laundry-specific pull-outs, and supply storage configurations that kitchen cabinets don’t include. We build them as a custom system for the room.

Does Closettec offer painted cabinet finishes for laundry rooms?

Yes. We offer a range of painted and stained finishes. White and off-white are most popular for laundry rooms, but we can match any palette that works for the space and adjacent rooms.

Is installation included with laundry room cabinetry?

Yes, always. Professional installation by Closettec’s own team is part of every project. We handle the full setup, including working around existing machines and fixtures.
