Commercial remodeling is the renovation or build-out of business spaces — retail stores, offices, restaurants, medical practices, and other commercial properties — to fit a new use, brand, or layout. Unlike residential work, commercial projects must meet stricter building codes, accessibility standards, and life-safety requirements, and are often coordinated around active business operations and lease deadlines. Whether you're opening a new location, refreshing an aging space, or reconfiguring your floor plan, our commercial remodeling team in Southwest Florida delivers code-compliant build-outs that protect your timeline and your budget. ## Our Commercial Remodeling Services Our commercial remodeling services include: - Retail and storefront build-outs - Office and workspace renovations - Restaurant and hospitality remodeling - Medical and dental office build-outs - ADA compliance upgrades - Commercial permitting and code compliance - Structural and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) coordination - Project management around business operations ## Our Commercial Remodeling Process 1. **Consultation and site assessment** — We review your space, intended use, lease requirements, and goals, then outline scope and budget. 2. **Design and engineering** — Our team prepares construction documents, coordinates structural and MEP engineering, and confirms code and ADA compliance. 3. **Permitting and preparation** — We manage Lee County or Collier County commercial permits, plan review, and scheduling to minimize downtime. 4. **Construction and build-out** — Our licensed crew executes the build with phasing options to keep your business running where possible. 5. **Inspections and certificate of occupancy** — We coordinate final inspections and secure your certificate of occupancy so you can open on schedule. ## Why Choose Us for Commercial Remodeling Commercial projects demand tight coordination between codes, schedules, and your day-to-day operations.

Commercial remodeling costs in Southwest Florida typically range from $75 to $250 per square foot, depending on the use type and finish level. A basic office refresh may run $50 to $100 per square foot, while restaurant, medical, and dental build-outs are higher due to specialized plumbing, mechanical, and equipment requirements.

We remodel and build out retail and storefront spaces, professional offices, restaurants and hospitality venues, medical and dental practices, and mixed-use commercial properties throughout Southwest Florida.
