Laundry Room Cabinets in Sanger, CA

Laundry room cabinets in Sanger usually have to work in a space that was never designed as a laundry room. In the older housing near the town's original core, the machines commonly sit on an enclosed service porch, in a kitchen corner, or in the garage, because dedicated interior laundry rooms were not part of how these houses were planned.

Service porches and borrowed corners

An enclosed service porch is actually a good place for a laundry, and it is common in housing of this era. What it usually lacks is any storage at all beyond a shelf, and often any real weather sealing, since these were originally semi exterior spaces that got closed in at some point. That affects the specification: a service porch in an older Sanger home experiences more temperature and humidity swing than an interior room, so we build to a standard closer to garage cabinetry than to kitchen cabinetry, with sealed edges throughout.

Where the machines sit in a kitchen corner, which happens in the smallest of these homes, the design problem is visual as much as functional. Laundry cabinetry adjacent to kitchen cabinetry that does not relate to it makes both look worse. In those cases we match the door style and finish to the kitchen so the run reads as continuous, and use a full height cabinet or a bifold panel to close the machines off from the cooking area when they are not in use.

How we build Sanger laundry storage

Service porch installations are built closer to garage specification than kitchen specification, with sealed edges throughout, because these spaces swing further than an interior room. Where machines sit adjacent to a kitchen we match door style and finish so the runs read as continuous, and can close the machines off with a full height cabinet or panel. Machine model numbers and door swings are confirmed first.
