Commercial · Tenant Improvement
Leased space, finished to suit.
Most commercial work starts the same way: somebody signs a lease on a space that is not what they need yet. We take it from there. Demising walls, offices, storefronts, the electrical and data behind them, and the finishes that make it look like a business rather than a shell.
We work for tenants building out a suite and for landlords turning one around between occupants. Either way the landlord relationship is part of the job, not a side issue: work letters, certificates of insurance, building rules, access hours. We handle that so it does not land on you.
Scope of Work
What a build-out covers
We run the whole scope rather than handing you a set of gaps to fill. If something falls outside what we do, we say so before you sign, not halfway through.
- Demolition and disposal of existing improvements
- Demising walls, partitions, and interior framing
- Doors, hardware, and storefront glazing
- Electrical: circuits, panels, lighting, and controls
- Data, low-voltage, and rough-in for tenant equipment
- HVAC modification and distribution to the new layout
- Plumbing for break rooms and restrooms
- Ceilings, grid, and acoustic treatment
- Flooring, paint, and finish carpentry
- ADA path of travel, restrooms, and signage compliance
- Permit applications and inspection scheduling
- Certificate of occupancy coordination
Who We Build For
Space types we have finished
These are the spaces we have actually built out. If yours is not on the list, ask — we will tell you honestly whether it is work we should be bidding.
Office & professional suites
Offices, professional practices, and coworking. Demising, private offices, conference rooms, and the data and power to run them.
Retail & storefront
Shops, showrooms, and storefront conversions. Sales floor, back of house, entry, and the signage and ADA path that come with public access.
How It Runs
From first walk to close out
Walk the Space
We meet you at the suite, look at what is actually there, and flag the things that cost money before they surprise you.
Read the Work Letter
If a landlord is contributing, we read what they have committed to and price against it, so you know what the allowance really covers.
Itemized Bid
Line by line, in writing. Labor, materials, subcontractors, permits. No lump sums.
Permit & Build
We pull the permits, run the inspection schedule, and keep the building manager in the loop on access and noise.
Punch & Close Out
We walk it with you, clear the list, and hand over the paperwork the landlord and the city both want.

Tenant Improvement FAQ
Do you work with the landlord or just with me?
Both, and it is part of the job. We deal with the work letter, building rules, insurance certificates, and access hours directly with the property manager. You should not have to relay messages between your contractor and your landlord.
Can you give me a number before I sign the lease?
Yes, and you should ask for one. A rough build-out number before you sign is what tells you whether the tenant improvement allowance on the table is realistic. We will walk a space you have not leased yet and give you a range at no charge.
How long does a commercial build-out take in Flagstaff?
For a straightforward office or retail suite, four to ten weeks of construction is typical. Permits are the variable, not the work — commercial review through the City of Flagstaff takes longer than residential, and we build that into the schedule we give you rather than discovering it later.
Is there a minimum project size?
No. We take small commercial work, including single-room changes and repairs that a larger general contractor will not return a call about. Same licensed crew either way.
Can you provide a certificate of insurance naming my landlord?
Yes. Most commercial leases require the contractor to name the landlord and the property manager as additional insured before work starts. Tell us who needs to be on it and we will get it issued.
