In today’s competitive rental market, multi-unit property owners and managers in San Diego are constantly looking for ways to boost property value, attract high-quality tenants, and maintain building safety and compliance. The secret? Investing in high-impact upgrades that not only enhance curb appeal and livability but also ensure your property stays up to code.
At McMillin Contracting Services, we specialize in delivering tailored, high-impact renovation and compliance solutions. As your local, trusted San Diego contractor with over 25 years of experience, we understand the unique challenges faced by multi-unit property owners—and we’re here to help you overcome them.
The Upgrades That Make the Biggest Difference
When evaluating which upgrades to prioritize, it’s important to focus on changes that provide strong returns on investment and improve the overall living experience for tenants. Here are a few high-impact upgrades that make a real difference:
1. Exterior Enhancements
Your property’s exterior is the first impression tenants and visitors receive. Upgrading siding, refreshing paint, installing modern lighting, and creating functional outdoor common areas like patios and gathering spaces can transform the look and feel of your property. These upgrades are not just cosmetic—they increase curb appeal, reduce maintenance costs, and can command higher rents.
2. Balcony Repairs & Compliance Work
Balconies are a great amenity—but they’ve also become a serious liability if not properly maintained. With California’s SB721 and SB326 laws now in effect, all multi-family property owners are required to complete regular inspections and repairs of exterior elevated elements like balconies, decks, and stairways. If you’re struggling to stay compliant or feeling overwhelmed by the process, you’re not alone.
Owners face problems like insurance companies giving you trouble, selecting the wrong inspector, or receiving confusing permit requirements. At McMillin, we can help you navigate the permits—ensuring your balconies are safe, compliant, and built to last.

We help you modernize interiors while keeping tenant disruption to a minimum. Whether you need quick bathroom remodels between leases or complete unit overhauls, McMillin has the team, tools, and experience to deliver top-tier results, on time and on budget.
