Whether you just bought a new space or are ready to spruce up an existing commercial location, a commercial renovation might be on your to-do list. The first step toward a successful renovation project is finding the right commercial renovation contractor. But what should you look for in this contractor and how do they differ from other types of contractors?<\/p>\n
First things first, what is commercial renovation? While we\u2019ve written about this topic in another blog post in more detail<\/a>, we wanted to give a quick definition here too.<\/p>\n Renovation refers to minor touch ups or construction projects to improve a space which already exists. While home renovations are much more popular on HGTV, commercial renovations refer to improvements made to spaces utilized by businesses. This could include a paint touch-up in an office space or redoing the floor layout for a jewelry shop.<\/p>\n Contractors keep a commercial renovation project on track, on budget, and aligned with your vision. They coordinate with different subcontractors, keep you in the loop on the project, and ensure everything goes according to plan.<\/p>\n When looking for a commercial contractor<\/a> for a renovation or remodeling, you want to find someone who specializes in commercial renovation projects\u2013not residential renovations or building new commercial spaces. If you had a heart condition, you wouldn\u2019t show up to the neurosurgeon and expect them to perform open heart surgery. It\u2019s the same thing with contractors\u2013hire the right type for the building \u201csurgery\u201d that you need.<\/p>\n As you can imagine, getting a contractor for your renovation project isn\u2019t as simple as hiring the first one who shows up on Google. You need to partner with the right contractor who fully understands your business\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n Here are some green flags<\/a> to look out for when hiring your next contractor:<\/p>\n When hiring a contractor, you want to feel confident in their skills, communication style, and ability to carry out the vision for your space.<\/p>\n Of course, we\u2019ve all heard stories of contractors who never complete a project\u2013and drain a client\u2019s wallet. Here are some red flags<\/a> and signs you should avoid a contractor so this doesn\u2019t happen to you:<\/p>\n Commercial renovation might not be as intensive as a new commercial construction project or a full build-out, but it can help your space better embody your business\u2019 values and help the physical structure stand for years to come.
