Anyone have experience renovating in Lakewood?

Hi BP Friends! Question- we're in escrow on a property in Lakewood, 4-unit building (all 1 BR's) w/ attic space to potentially convert into extra units or potentially convert 2 of the units into 2BR units instead of singles. We have other properties in the area, but expanding this one would be the most upgrade work we've done to date. Interested to hear experiences if anyone has done anything similar? Namely timing, cost, and getting permits and such. Thanks!
