A Week of Renovations

A week of an affordable housing unit renovation might feel like an episode of an HGTV show for the resident. They move out for a few days, come back and TA-DA… A newly renovated apartment!

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to make that renovation possible within that time frame? It’s not just swinging hammers and hoping for the best, it’s a careful combination of strategy, choreography, and a little bit of magic.

We believe that an occupied unit turn renovation should run like a well-oiled machine. We’re about to give you a behind the scenes look of how we make it all happen in a week.

A week in the life of a unit turn:

THE WILSHIRE WAY:

We Obsess Over the Details

Before each week of renovations our project manager, superintendents, and trade partners huddle up like a championship team on game day. They review plans, schedules, materials, unit locations, and how to keep everyone safe (and sane).

Throughout the process, quality control checks take place to review every detail before moving forward, because guess what? Paperwork, inspections, and audits never take a day off.

We know occupied renovations aren’t just about construction, they’re about people, compliance, and keeping timelines tighter than your favorite pair of jeans after Thanksgiving.

When you partner with a team that plans like us, you can count on:
✅ Less disruption for residents
✅ Predictable schedules for you
✅No 3 a.m. panic about paperwork
