Custom Laundry & Mudroom Combos in Memorial, TX
Homeowners in Memorial want laundry rooms that also stop clutter at the door. We build combo rooms with that goal in mind across Harris County.
Custom Laundry & Mudroom Combos for Memorial homes
The Memorial area runs west from Memorial Park along Memorial Drive and the I-10 corridor toward the Beltway. It surrounds the Memorial Villages and is known for wooded lots, winding streets and quick access to the Galleria and Energy Corridor. Our crew reaches it easily from our shop north of downtown.
Memorial has a large stock of 1950s through 1970s ranch homes on wooded lots, many already expanded or replaced with two-story custom builds. Original homes often have low ceilings, small kitchens and dark paneling, while new homes feature open kitchens and big family rooms. Kitchen remodels, wall paneling, media walls and walk-in closets are the projects we see most.
Older homes in Memorial often have small laundry rooms or closets off the kitchen or carport that were never meant to be an entry. As families use the side door more, those rooms become cluttered fast. We rework them with a compact bench, hooks and upper cabinets so both laundry and daily gear have a place, even in a tight space with older plumbing and uneven walls.
Every project starts with an in-home measurement in Memorial. We build in our Houston shop and the same crew handles installation, so the person you talk to at the estimate is accountable for the result. Learn more about our full custom laundry & mudroom combos service.
What you get with Ace Kustoms
Tough, cleanable surfaces
Sealed plywood cabinets, durable painted or laminate finishes and stone, quartz or laminate counters stand up to wet shoes, spilled detergent and constant traffic better than particleboard kit cabinets. Edges are sealed.
Two zones, one room
A clear drop zone by the door and a laundry zone by the machines keep muddy shoes and clean towels apart. Each zone gets the storage it needs, and traffic flows through without blocking anyone doing laundry.
Clutter stays out of the house
Shoes, backpacks, sports gear and coats are stopped at the door, in lockers or cubbies. The rest of the house stays cleaner, and kids have a clear place to drop things when they come home.
A real folding counter
A countertop over front-load machines or alongside them gives you a place to fold, sort and pre-treat stains. It also doubles as a landing spot for groceries coming in from the garage.

How a Memorial project runs
- Map traffic and machines. We measure the room, note door swings, machine sizes, plumbing, dryer vent and electrical, and look at how people come and go from the garage or yard.
- Zone the room. You review a layout separating the drop zone and laundry zone, with storage for each family member, a folding surface, hanging space and any pet or sink station.
- Select materials. You choose cabinet finish, counter material, bench top and hardware from real samples. We recommend finishes and hardware that hold up to water, detergent and heavy use.
- Build and finish in the shop. We build lockers, benches and cabinets from plywood and hardwood in our Houston shop, sealing every surface before delivery so they resist moisture from day one.
- Install and coordinate. The crew installs cabinets around machines and doors, coordinates countertop and plumbing work, and checks clearances for machine doors, dryer venting and the walkway before the final walkthrough.
Local conditions we plan for
Houston laundry rooms deal with dryer heat, washer moisture and outside humidity coming in with every trip from the garage. We use sealed plywood, keep cabinets off the floor near machines where possible and use finishes that resist moisture. Dryer vents should take the shortest route outside, and we never box them in tightly. On slab foundations, moving machines or adding a sink means cutting concrete, so we place them near existing plumbing when we can. Wet shoes and rain gear dry better in open cubbies with airflow than in closed lockers, which can trap moisture and odors.
Houston humidity is the main thing we design around. Solid wood moves with the seasons, so we use furniture-grade plywood for cabinet boxes and shelves, and frame-and-panel doors that let panels float. Sink bases get extra finish protection, and in neighborhoods along bayous or in flood-prone zones we can raise toe kicks or use moisture-resistant materials on the lowest components. Keeping the house conditioned during installation helps everything settle in properly.
For general planning, a combined laundry and mudroom in Greater Houston often runs around $8,000 to $18,000 for cabinetry, benches and counters, while larger rooms with a sink, pet station and full-height storage can range from $20,000 to $35,000 or more. Plumbing and electrical vary. These are planning ranges only, so get a written estimate after we measure.
Custom Laundry & Mudroom Combos in Memorial: FAQs
Can you build around my existing machines?
Yes. We measure your current washer and dryer and plan openings with extra clearance in case you replace them later. If you plan to buy new machines soon, it is best to choose them first so the cabinets fit their exact dimensions.
How big does a room need to be for a laundry and mudroom combo?
A room around 8 by 10 feet can fit side-by-side machines with a counter and a short bench with hooks. Larger rooms allow full locker walls, tall storage and a sink. We measure and show you what fits, including clearances for machine doors and walkways.
Should lockers have doors or be open?
Open lockers are easier for kids and allow wet gear to dry. Doors hide clutter but can trap moisture. Many families choose open lockers with a closed upper cabinet for seasonal items. We can also use ventilated doors as a middle ground.
Does Ace Kustoms work in Memorial?
Yes. Memorial is part of our regular service area in Harris County, along with nearby Bunker Hill Village, Hedwig Village, Piney Point Village, River Oaks. We schedule in-home measurements throughout the week and the estimate is free.
