Washer & Dryer Set Rental in Lakewood, CO

Lakewood is mostly mid-century: ranch houses and split-levels built through the 1950s and 1960s, with apartment buildings concentrated along the West Colfax corridor and around the Federal Center.

The ranch stock generally puts laundry connections in a basement or an attached garage. Garage installations are the easy case — wide doors, concrete floors, nothing to protect on the way in. Basement laundry in houses of this era is usually reached by a straighter, wider staircase than the pre-war homes in central Denver, which makes a full-size pair considerably less awkward to place.

What does come up in this housing stock is the dryer connection. Homes of this age were frequently built with gas laundry connections, and some have since been converted to electric while others have not. A photograph of the wall behind the dryer space resolves it in seconds and determines which machine we load.

The apartment buildings along Colfax lean older and smaller, and like their Aurora equivalents often have closet-sized laundry spaces or none at all. The newer multifamily near Belmar and the light rail stations is built with in-unit hookups as standard.

Lakewood sits well within the delivery area, and the drive from central Denver is short enough that we can usually offer the same delivery windows we offer in the city.

One practical note specific to the older Lakewood housing: many of these homes have the laundry area sharing a basement or garage with the furnace and water heater. That is perfectly workable, but it can mean less clearance than the room first appears to have, and it occasionally puts the dryer vent run further from an exterior wall than is ideal. When you call, mention what else is in the space and roughly how far the vent has to travel, and we will tell you whether anything needs addressing before delivery day.

Deliveries here are typically available within the same week.
