Restaurant build-outs, retail TIs, dental and medical office moves, light industrial. We do small to medium commercial work across west Contra Costa, on permit, with a written scope and a written quote.
Most of our commercial work in west Contra Costa is in the small to medium space: a 2,000 sq ft retail TI in Richmond, a dental office relocation in El Cerrito, a coffee shop build-out in Albany, a service call to a Pinole auto shop. We are not the right contractor for a 200,000 sq ft warehouse or a ground-up industrial project, but for service calls, build-outs, and tenant improvements at the corner-storefront scale, we are exactly the right size.
Commercial work means dealing with a building owner, a tenant, a general contractor, an architect, and the city inspector — sometimes all on the same day. We are responsive on the phone, we show up when we say we will, and we work to a written scope and a fixed quote so the trades meeting on Monday morning is not a surprise.
Every commercial job we perform is on a pulled permit and signed off by the city or county inspector. We carry general liability, workers comp, and contractor license bonds. Certificates of insurance are available on request.
Commercial jobs run on a tighter timeline than residential. We treat that seriously.
For a service call, often a phone description is enough. For a TI or build-out, we walk the space with the GC, the tenant, and the architect if there is one.
Line-item scope of work, materials, labor, permit, lead times. Fixed-price for defined work; T&M for service calls.
We pull commercial electrical permits with the city or county building department.
For TIs, we coordinate with framing, drywall, HVAC, plumbing, low-voltage, and the GC schedule.
Inspector walks the open work before walls close.
Devices, fixtures, panels, equipment hookups, label cards.
Inspector signs off, you get the closed permit, the space gets its certificate of occupancy.
Service calls billed T&M. Build-outs and TIs are fixed-price against a written scope.
Commercial pricing depends on the scope of work, the amount of after-hours work required, the complexity of the existing building, and the city you are in. We give a written quote before starting fixed-price work; service calls have a posted hourly rate.
Real quotes beat ballparks. Your house, your panel, your situation will drive the real number. We give a written quote before any work starts — no deposit to see the bid, no pressure, no surprises.
