Thank god for people like you that against all odds and difficulties and negative people do projects like this to make things look new and nice. Much much appreciate your efforts. I hope you guys make a ton of money, you deserve it all
Can you give a break down of the cost of the new machines? With financing details? Is there an additional fee for installation does the supplier offer this? Also did you face environmental fees from the gov since it's a new setup?
It is different on every project. You would have to get with your city to see about how much environmental fees are. Every state has their own regulations.
I did receive those bulkheads from high mark. I have since switched to freedom bulkheads from Paul Pettefer in Louisiana. These are very expensive, and his were like half the price, and probably build a little better. Not too sure of the cost you will have to get that through your distributor.
That's a subjective question? I would find a distributor who sells equipment close to where you are located so if something were to break down you would have someone close buy to fix the machines.
Looks awesome, great job! Had a few questions: With the dryer wall packed so close together and being so large, is it difficult to pull a unit forward in order to access the back of the machine and do any necessary maintenance? Did you need any building permits ect. to perform this new buildout? How many different professionals did you need to hire? Im guessing: plumber, electrician, carpenter ect....
We have over 2 feet behind the dryer wall. Plenty of space and easy to work on. Yes you need permits when you are altering the building. I used a plumber, electrician, and a general contractor to do drywall and floors, and paint.
Nice! Is it possible to get into this business w/o knowing about plumbing, electrics, construction? Is it truly an24/7 business? Seems days off is not possible. Of course the wealthy work daily 10-16 hours
Yes, you don't have to know anything about plumbing or anything. All you have to do is have the right mindset and anything can happen. If you utilize TH-cam and watch enough videos you can get a good idea on how to open and operate a laundromat.
@@splashemoutlaundromat thank you although I understand, it’s important to be handy to a greater or lesser degree similar to owning a car or bicycle. I always felt this was a good business recently a club where I ran shows couldn’t pay their rent. A laundromat took them over installing new machines and not Many made me realize there is money there.
Was this laundromat free or did you purchase it from the previous operator? Could I do an hybrid of coin and laundroworks until the customers get used to the laundroworks system? Don't want to shock the current customers.
We built this from scratch, so far from free. We do a hybrid system in here because we had Spyder wash system and we didn't have a way of covering up the holes that system left so we opted to keep some coin drops in there. Actually our customers love the card system, and I would not do hybrid if it was possible, because they love the cards. I never get change out. There was pushback for about a week from very few customers, as they know that most things are becoming easier, and where else do you have to go and deal with quarters? Thanks for watching and good luck at your laundromat
How do I find these machines am I able to get a bulk order or do I need to go to Lowe’s, Home Depot . Need more information or a broker for the machines I want to try this !
There are several different ways to procure washers and dryers. Lowes, and Home Depot are not the answer. You need to find a distributor of commercial laundry equipment. Alliance, Dexter, Continental to name a few. DM me and I can look up a distributor in your area who can help.
It’s looks like you put flooring over the existing tile floor. If so are there any challenges associated with that floor project? Thanks for any input!
We were a bit nervous about that, but they are actually loving it. It's a pain in the but to load 7 dollars worth of quarters, when all you have to do is sit a card on there. Plus I can run promotions. Right now its double your money.
I am looking at purchasing a facility where owner is retiring. Would you not want to stay with coin, for the benefit of now electronic trail of your profits?
I dont want coin so I don't have to go in there every other day emptying coin boxes that get full rather quick. Also, changer problems constantly. If I had one laundromat it wouldnt be so bad I suppose, but after having card we will never go back.
I wonder why laundromats are phasing out quarters? Also f in the chat for the top loaders. Though it's rather interesting that there's Huebsch stack washer & dryer combos, I've never seen ones of that brand before.
I believe most industries are eliminating cash all together. You can't go to a sporting event or a concert and pay cash now. People who come in understand this, and people are happy they don't have to lug around quarters. Yes on the stackable we tried it because this store is small, but I am not too impressed. I know we won't install these in any other store.
@@matthewmcdonald9107 In a home setting they are great. In a laundromat not so much, as if a customer is using the washer, and another customer comes along and takes the dryer right above that washer it can become a conflict. When that happens the customers are on top of each other having no space. Therefore, I try to make things a little more spread out. If customers would respect that the person using the washer will be using the dryer above, then not a big deal.
@@splashemoutlaundromat yes excellent point. Everyone meeds their own personal space. I can see the attraction of utilizing more of your vertical space to maximize your location square footage. What would you have preferred to have gone with instead of the stackable? Appreciate your knowledge from an aspiring laundromat owner someday 🙏🏻
Hola buenas noches me podrías financiar esas máquinas que vas a reemplazar ya que deseo poner una lavandería en el Edo de México pero no cuento con los recursos para comprar lavadoras modernas si tienes confianza en mi yo te pagaría cada Dollar por ellas pero necesito trabajarlas soy de bajos recursos pero tengo lo más valioso que es mi palabra espero respuesta saludos
I have already gotten rid of the machines you are referring. Reach out to me if you see anything in particular you are looking for and I'll see if I have it. The only thing that I have is a some horizons and top loaders.
We don't have one Maytag washer in any of our laundromats. We only have speed queen and Huebsch washers. You are looking at the beginning phase of us taking over this laundromat and renovations.
Laundromats that move to card systems seem to cheat their customers. Why do I say that? Lots of mistakes have been made with the cards and it is hard to prove that you put money on them.
Not with Laundroworks! The customer can go to laundry cat, and or to the kiosk to see their balance. During holidays we put money on peoples card who is registered. They don't have to lug around quarters. We have customers thanking us daily for the change to card. I haven't seen the grocery store cheat me yet, and or the gas station when I use card. Many sports, and concerts will only accept card. Why would you say in the laundry industry it's different? We are moving toward the future, and card is one of those steps we are taking. We are getting rid of all top loaders, and people hated the fact we did that, and now have no complaints. We are evolving, and so is the industry.
Not sure what city you are in…but if this was LA I’d have made is really nice with hardwood floors and wood benches and a barista serving coffee and free Wi-Fi. In order to stop homeless entering (yuk…needles on your floor and you said people bathe in your sink?! Where is this place??? Hell?) Anyways to prevent unwanted trespassers I would install a gate or a reader on the door. Only people with your app can enter…come on bro…bring it to 2024!!!
You need to look at the other videos, as they will show our new floor. This is not the finished product. We used to serve coffee and donuts in the morning, but people found out and would just come in for coffee and hang out and not do laundry which took seating away from customers. We are always looking for ways to do better.
It kinda pisses me off that you built that place in a month. I've been working on my laundromat for 7 months, and all the subcontractors have been screwing around and wasting time every step of the way. If I had a dollar for every time I have heard the words "NEXT WEEK', I'd have a lot of dollars. Of course, I can't just throw money at it until it is done like you, I have had to half-ass and cheap-ass the project every step of the way. So good job, I guess. If I am lucky, I will be open by the end of March. I wanted to be open by Halloween!
And this is why i won’t pay a contractor one penny until they are completely finished with the job. If they don’t have money for materials, then I won’t do business with them. There is no incentive for the contractors to finish if you keep paying them along the way. Believe me, we learned the hard way. If I was in your position, I would give them a deadline, and if they don’t agree, then i would cut my losses and get someone else in there that can complete the job. Good luck.
16:39 - how much did your Laundroworks system cost? I saw a local laundromat that had changed to it, and I emailed the company for a quote. For 2 payment kiosks and 50 machine card readers, they said $30,000 !
Finally a video that actually shows you how it’s done. Thank you!
Thanks for watching,

Looks great! I love your flooring. Did you just install it over the tile or did you remove the tile first?
Thank you for the compliments. Yes, we did install the floor over the tile floor. Turned out great.
Looks amazing. Congrats!! What is the thickness of vinyl floors.
Thanks for the compliment. I am not sure of the thickness, but it's LVT and we got the kind that glues down, or not.
Well we in Germany and starting a Laundrymat service. What coin washers and dryer’s would you recommend to start out?
That's a subjective question? I would find a distributor who sells equipment close to where you are located so if something were to break down you would have someone close buy to fix the machines.
How many washers and dryers will be located in this facilite? ?
Looks awesome, great job! Had a few questions:

Where did you get the washing/drying machines from?
HM in Cincinnati, OH

Yes, we did put over some VCT, and no problems at all.
Nice, any updates on your commercial laundry?
Yes, I will put out a video. It has been a process on deciding how to build, and making sure we get exactly what we want.
@@splashemoutlaundromat God blessed and good luck. I pray that the laundromat continues to be blessed and not stressed.
Great video!! I see most of your equipment in your stores are Alliances Huebsh.. do you prefer them over other brands?
Do you have a local contractor or does your distributor have an A-Team he or she uses?
We contracted everything out on this build. Did not use the distributor for this build.
You mention a contractor that is available with his teams to build or retool stores. Could he be persuaded to come to Indy for the right price?
Hopefully everybody is loving the new Coin-Free Laundry Center.
We were a bit nervous about that, but they are actually loving it. It's a pain in the but to load 7 dollars worth of quarters, when all you have to do is sit a card on there. Plus I can run promotions. Right now its double your money.
@@splashemoutlaundromat How long will you run the double your money promotion?
@@Twinduct I believe i will make sure one cycle of customers are able to take advantage of the free money, so i would say a week.
@@splashemoutlaundromat very nice but confusing as we don't use lbs in the uk for load size of machines we use kgs
What’s the square footage?
Hi. Where do you get the machines' rack/base from?
Are the custom made, or comes with machines together?
We get the bases from the distributor along with the machine. They don't come with the washers.
Hope to God you moved that wall.
What's the rough estimate for everything
That's a loaded question, but we did a video on this same laundromat breaking down the cost. Maybe a video or two ahead of this one.
@@splashemoutlaundromat can’t wait for the videos to come. I am interested!!

Why the green walls. damn
We think they look great, and that's why...
Hello, I was just curious where you get your bulkheads from?
Love the 45 lb dryer s
how many sqft?
6,000
WHAT DOES DOMETHING LIKE THIS COST?? IM INTERESTED
Around 400-$500k
@BigGirlsFTW noice!...actually that's very expensive ma'am.
Please let me know who was your contractor?
I was the General Contractor
Wouldn’t you lose customers by removing coin option ?
Generous use of space. Nice looking interior. People will be comfortable and relaxed. More likely to come back.
Is it for sale ? Is so , how much asking?!?
We just built the laundromat. It's not for sale, but if you are interested you can always make an offer.
You didn't show the finished sign.
Yes, the laundromat was finished, but the signs were not. I believe I have a post of the signage, and I’ll go get some more video.
how much that would cost? i want to start one
We have a consultant company if you want the ins and outs of owning a laundromat. Check out bigspashconsulting.com
Mats are way too expensive for the small ROI.
