Urban Duplex Renovation

Project Overview:
The Urban Duplex Renovation is a standout renovation project that demonstrates A&T Builders’ ability to transform outdated structures into high-performance living spaces. Located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, this project involved the complete interior and exterior remodeling of a 1950s-era duplex into a modern, income-generating property.

Project Details:
The renovation began with a structural integrity assessment, followed by a complete gutting of the interiors. A&T Builders reinforced the foundation, replaced all plumbing and electrical systems, and installed new roofing and insulation to meet modern energy codes. The outdated layout was replaced with an open-plan concept featuring premium hardwood floors, large format tiles, and contemporary lighting.

Both units were fitted with energy-efficient HVAC systems, smart thermostats, custom kitchens with quartz countertops, and fully remodeled bathrooms. Exterior improvements included new stucco, window installations, and a gated entry system for added security.

Challenges & Results:
Working within a dense urban area with strict city regulations presented logistical challenges. However, A&T’s experienced team coordinated effectively with inspectors and city planners to keep the project on track. Post-renovation, the duplex’s property value increased by over 60%, and the units were fully rented within weeks of completion. The project remains a favorite among A&T’s urban redevelopment portfolio.
