Converting single bedroom to double bedroom apartment.

I have a six-unit multifamily building in Hartford CT.

These are good-sized single bedrooms with extra room without a bathroom.

I am looking for some guidance on how I can convert one bedroom to two without overspending.

Which type of contractors (e.g., General contractors or Fix and Flip) I should be looking for?

What value options that I need to add?

I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice.

@Bala Sri - I'm a CT based investor, flipper, and property management owner. This can be hard for a number of reasons and is generally not worth it. If the room is more squarish then cutting it in half will generally make two really small rooms. If the room is long, it could be better. Additionally, you'll need to put a door in, electricity for lights in, heating in, repair the floor, repaint, etc. The amount of money adds up quickly.
What are the dimensions of the room you are looking to convert in two. Maybe you can add in some pictures.

Thank you, Samuel,
I agree with you. The total room dimension is about 900 sq ft. The first bedroom with a bathroom is almost square but the open area outside the room is long. I can share more details with you if you could share your contact details. I appreciate it.
