A Mercer Island homeowner wanted a luxurious shower where the old dryer vent used to live — a classic remodel plot twist. The vent was running straight through the future shower paradise. The honest answer wasn't to design around the pipe; it was to move the pipe.
We rerouted the vent line down through the crawl space and out the side of the house, recommended a stackable dryer that vents sideways, and made the whole run code-compliant and efficient. No shortcut, no drama.
Done wrong, a moved dryer vent means lint buildup, higher energy bills, or worse. Done right — straight path, proper clearance, insulated where it passes through cold space — it's the invisible part of a remodel that lets you actually enjoy the new shower.
It's the kind of 'no job too small' detail that decides whether a remodel feels considered or thrown together. The vent moved, the shower got its wall back, and the homeowner stopped planning around a pipe.
