Renovations, expansions, and upgrades that bring existing commercial spaces up to modern standards — while keeping your business running.
Whether it's a dated storefront, an underperforming layout, or a building that needs to meet current codes — Drake Contracting delivers commercial remodeling projects that transform existing spaces without disrupting your operations.
We specialize in phased construction that keeps neighboring tenants and your own operations running smoothly. Clear scheduling, dust barriers, after-hours work when needed, and constant communication are standard on every remodel we manage.
From cosmetic refreshes to full structural renovations, we handle every type of commercial remodel across the Central Valley.
Updated facades, new glass storefronts, signage integration, and curb appeal upgrades that bring more customers through your doors.
Open-plan conversions, conference room additions, technology upgrades, break room renovations, and ADA accessibility improvements.
Kitchen upgrades, dining room reconfigurations, bar installations, patio additions, and hood/ventilation system modifications.
Exam room reconfiguration, waiting area modernization, specialized MEP upgrades, and compliance renovations for healthcare spaces.
Additions, mezzanines, second-story build-outs, and footprint expansions that give your business room to grow without relocating.
Converting buildings from one commercial use to another — warehouse to office, retail to restaurant, or any creative repurposing project.
The biggest concern business owners have about remodeling is downtime. Our phased construction approach addresses this head-on — keeping your doors open and your revenue flowing throughout the project.
Many remodeling projects involve elements of our other core services. If your renovation includes a full interior build-out or would benefit from a design-build approach, we handle it all under one roof.
Yes — Drake Contracting specializes in phased remodeling that keeps your business operational throughout construction. We plan work in stages, schedule noisy or disruptive tasks during off-hours, and maintain clean barriers between construction zones and active business areas. Our goal is zero disruption to your customers and staff.
Commercial remodeling costs in the Fresno area vary widely based on scope — from $50 to $200+ per square foot depending on the type of space, extent of demolition, mechanical system upgrades, and finish quality. Drake Contracting provides free project consultations and detailed estimates so you know exactly what to expect before construction begins.
A tenant improvement (TI) typically refers to customizing a leased space for a new tenant, often with a landlord-provided allowance. A commercial remodel is broader — it can include renovating a space you own, expanding an existing footprint, updating systems for code compliance, or completely transforming a building's use (adaptive reuse). Drake Contracting handles both.
