Commercial remodeling for buildings that still work hard.

What we remodel

Most remodels start with one of three reasons: the business has changed and the layout no longer fits, the building looks dated next to the new centers going up around it, or the owner needs more room. We take on all three, from moving walls and adding offices to redoing a whole interior and the face of the building.

A remodel can include new framing and ceilings, lighting, flooring, paint, restrooms, break rooms, counters and storefront glass, plus the electrical, plumbing and air conditioning changes the new layout needs. Outside, it can mean new stone or stucco, new canopies and a new entrance.

Adding square footage

An addition ties new foundation, walls and roof into a building that has already settled. The new slab has to meet the old one without a step or a crack line, and the new roof has to drain without sending water at the old wall. Those two joints are where an addition shows its quality years later, so they get the most attention in the plan.

An addition also brings back site questions: parking counts, setbacks, drainage and fire lanes. We check them against the city’s rules before anyone commits to a size.

Remodeling a building that is open

Many owners can’t close while the work happens. When that is the case, the job is split into phases so part of the building keeps working, dust walls go up between the work and the customers, and the loud work is scheduled with the owner. The plan is written down before work starts, so everyone knows which part of the building is closed and when.

Permits and accessibility on a remodel

A remodel that moves walls, plumbing or wiring needs a building permit in every city we work in, and a change in how the space is used usually needs a new certificate of occupancy.

Remodels also pull in accessibility. When an area is altered, the route to it, the restrooms that serve it and the parking often have to meet the Texas Accessibility Standards too. Knowing that before the estimate keeps a surprise restroom rebuild off the change orders.
