Finishing a duplex conversion
Earlier we’ve covered the benefits and initial steps of a duplex conversion. In this part, we’ll discuss the remaining steps: interior and exterior finishing, final inspections, and client communication to ensure your duplex conversion is a success.
Interior and exterior finishing
Once the structural changes and utility upgrades are complete, it’s time to focus on the finishing touches. This includes:
Drywall and flooring: Installing new drywall, painting, and laying down flooring in both units to create a polished, cohesive look.
Cabinetry and fixtures: Adding cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures in kitchens and bathrooms to ensure functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Exterior enhancements: Updating the exterior with new siding, windows, doors, and landscaping to improve curb appeal and ensure each unit has a distinct, welcoming entrance.
Final inspections and approval
After all the work is done, a final inspection is required to ensure everything is up to code. Ens Contracting arranges this inspection and addresses any issues that may arise, ensuring your duplex conversion is fully approved. This step is crucial for legal compliance and peace of mind, knowing that your new duplex meets all safety and building standards.
