Commercial Remodeling

Commercial Work We Take On

Commercial remodeling for us is the same trade work we do in houses, applied to a space that has to open for business on a date. Small and mid size spaces are the fit: a suite in a strip center, a dental or medical office, a restaurant taking over a former one, a warehouse office that needs to look like the company it belongs to.

• Tenant build-outs from a shell: framing, drywall, ceilings, doors, flooring, paint.
• Office reconfigurations: walls moved, conference rooms added, break rooms built.
• Retail refreshes: new floors, paint, fixtures walls, slat wall and display built-ins.
• Restaurant work: front of house finishes, tile, bar and host stand builds, restroom upgrades.
• Restroom remodels to current accessibility layouts.
• Drywall, ceiling grid and paint after a tenant moves out.

Working Around an Open Business

The difference between a house and a business is that the business loses money every day it is closed. So we phase the work. A restaurant refresh happens in sections, or overnight after close, with the dining room clean and the dust contained before the doors open again. An office reconfiguration moves one department at a time. Retail floors go in over a weekend with the fixtures moved and reset by our crew.

We put the phasing plan in writing with dates, and one person from our crew runs it. If a section has to be done by a certain morning, that is the plan we build.

Plans, Permits and Inspections

Commercial work in Fort Worth, Haltom City and the surrounding cities goes through a plan check before a permit is issued, and the city looks at exits, fire separation, accessibility and occupancy load along with the construction itself. We work with your architect or bring in a designer to produce stamped drawings when the city requires them, then pull the permit and meet the inspectors at each stage. Landlord approvals on tenant improvements are part of that paperwork, and we have handled them before.

What the Finish Looks Like

Commercial finishes take more abuse than residential ones, so the specification changes. Level five smooth drywall in a lobby where the lighting is unforgiving. Commercial grade LVT or polished concrete on the floor. Solid core doors with lever hardware. Scrubbable paint in corridors and restrooms. Tile to the ceiling in a restaurant restroom. FRP panels in a kitchen. We spec the materials that match how the space will be used, not the thinnest version that passes inspection.

Small Jobs Count Too

Not every commercial call is a build-out. Repainting a suite between tenants, patching drywall where the old shelving came down, replacing the flooring in a waiting room, or building a reception desk are all jobs we take. The interior and exterior painting page covers how we prep commercial walls, and the flooring installation page covers prep on a commercial slab. Larger interior scope is the same work as our interior remodeling for homes, scheduled differently. Our full service list is on the main remodeling services page.
