Duplex Renovation

A Complete Interior Transformation

This duplex on the east side of Spartanburg needed serious attention before it could be listed as a rental property. Years of wear and tear had taken a toll across every room. The existing flooring was outdated and damaged, the walls had visible holes and scuffs throughout, the kitchen featured old laminate countertops and tired-looking cabinets, and the bathrooms needed cosmetic improvements to meet tenant expectations. The owner needed a team that could handle a full interior refresh and deliver it on a tight timeline.

The scope of work included removing all existing flooring and installing new luxury vinyl plank (LVP) throughout, repairing damaged walls and applying fresh interior paint in every room, replacing laminate countertops in the kitchen, painting all cabinetry, and making targeted improvements to the bathrooms.

Our Approach

This duplex renovation is a perfect example of what it means to be a one-stop shop for home and business improvements. Rather than the property owner juggling calls to a flooring installer, a painter, a countertop company, and a general contractor, our team handled every phase of the project in-house—from initial demo through final cleanup.

We started by stripping out all the old flooring across the entire unit, then moved immediately into wall repair. Once every surface was patched, sanded, and prepped, our crew applied a full interior paint job that brightened every room. In the kitchen, we removed the worn laminate countertops and installed new ones, then painted the existing cabinets to give the whole space a fresh, updated look without the cost of a full kitchen remodel.

Throughout the entire project, we kept the property owner informed with clear communication about progress, timelines, and any decisions that needed to be made. There were no surprises—just steady, professional work from start to finish.

What We Delivered

• Flooring Replacement: Removed all existing flooring and installed durable luxury vinyl plank (LVP) throughout every room. LVP is an ideal choice for rental properties. It's water-resistant, scratch-resistant, and built to handle heavy foot traffic. Learn more about our flooring services.
• Wall Repair & Interior Painting: Patched and repaired drywall damage throughout the unit, then applied a clean, consistent coat of interior paint in every room to create a bright, move-in-ready feel.
• Countertop Replacement: Swapped out dated laminate countertops for new surfaces that modernized the kitchen without requiring a full gut renovation.
• Cabinet Painting: Rather than replacing the kitchen cabinets entirely, we prepped and painted them for a completely refreshed appearance at a fraction of the cost.
• Bathroom Improvements: Made cosmetic updates to the bathrooms to bring them in line with the rest of the renovation and meet tenant expectations.

Move-In Ready in Record Time

The difference between before and after was dramatic. What had been a worn-out, dated interior was now a bright, clean, and modern living space ready for tenants from the moment we finished the final walkthrough.

By handling every trade under one roof, we eliminated the scheduling gaps and miscommunication that typically slow down multi-trade renovation projects. The property owner didn't have to coordinate between separate flooring, painting, and countertop crews. They had one team, one point of contact, and one timeline, and Your Trusty Toolbox delivered on all three.

For the property owner, the bottom line was simple: the duplex went from vacant and in need of work to tenant-ready in just weeks, minimizing lost rental income and maximizing the return on their renovation investment. That's the kind of reliable, full-spectrum service that keeps investors and homeowners coming back to Your Trusty Toolbox.
