Commercial Renovation FAQs
How long does a commercial renovation take?
Small office updates take 1-2 weeks, retail buildouts 3-6 weeks, and restaurant renovations 6-10 weeks depending on scope. We factor in permit approval times (2-4 weeks) and schedule work to minimize business closure. Rush timelines are possible with advance planning.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes. We regularly schedule work during evenings, weekends, or overnight shifts to avoid disrupting your business operations. This approach costs slightly more due to overtime labor rates but prevents lost revenue from business closure during prime hours.
Do commercial renovations require different permits?
Yes. Commercial projects require commercial building permits, health department approvals for food service, fire marshal inspections, and sometimes special permits for signage or occupancy changes. We handle all applications and coordinate inspections throughout the project.
What if we need to stay open during renovation?
We can phase work to keep portions of your business operational. This includes temporary partitions, staged construction, and coordinating work in sections. We discuss phasing options during planning to balance timeline, budget, and business continuity needs.
