Frequently asked
What's a 'small business remodel' in DFW?
Any commercial tenant improvement or renovation in the $10,000–$100,000 range - typically 800–3,500 SF spaces. The most common scopes are office refreshes (paint, flooring, lighting), salon and med-spa build-outs, single-room medical/dental updates, retail bay refreshes, and small restaurant/café fit-outs.
Why do most contractors skip jobs this size?
PM overhead. Large GCs need 8–12% margin on a $50K project to make it pencil - which prices them out of the niche, so they cherry-pick $500K+ work and ignore the rest. We built our process around this size: lighter PM cost, tighter trade coordination, and a written scope that doesn't require a 40-page proposal.
What's actually included in the $10K–$100K range?
Labor, materials, permits, city inspections, and project management. Brand-specific signage, FF&E (furniture, fixtures, equipment), and IT/AV cabling are typically separate line items so the scope stays transparent. You see the full breakdown in writing before you sign.
How fast can you start?
Most small remodels start within 2–4 weeks of contract signing. We can pull permits, finalize materials, and mobilize a crew on a fast schedule because the scope is smaller and we don't have to choreograph 8 trades - usually 3–5.
Do you handle landlord approvals and TI allowance reconciliation?
Yes. We work directly with property managers on tenant work letters, after-hours coordination, freight elevator scheduling, and TI allowance documentation. If your landlord requires specific contractor pre-qualification, we file the COI and W-9 packet.
Will the price hold? Or will it creep?
It holds. Our scopes are itemized and the price is locked at signing. Change orders happen only if you request a scope change, and they're priced and approved in writing before any work starts. No surprise overruns absorbed into the invoice.
