An established city that keeps updating

Plano is mostly in Collin County with a small piece in Denton County, and much of its land was built up in the 1980s and 1990s. That is why so much of the commercial work here is remodeling: shopping centers along US 75, the Dallas North Tollway and the George Bush Turnpike getting new facades, suites split or combined for new tenants, and restaurants taking over spaces another restaurant left.

The newer districts, like Legacy West and the Collin Creek redevelopment, bring first-generation shells and high-end finish-outs where the owner’s design is the point of the job.

Permits in Plano

Commercial plans in Plano go through the city’s Building Inspections Department, with fire review alongside the building review (City of Plano). A remodel that changes the layout or the use of a suite needs its own permit and, often, a new certificate of occupancy for the tenant.

In older Plano centers, the accessibility work that comes with an alteration, like the restrooms and the route from the parking, is worth checking before the estimate is final.

Remodeling an older center

Facade updates are some of the most visible jobs in Plano: new stone or stucco, new canopies and storefront glass on a center that still has its 1990s face. They are often phased so the tenants can stay open, one storefront at a time.
