Commercial

Work on a trading premises, done around your hours.

Cafés, shops and small commercial sites around Lansing and East Lansing. Ceiling tile, drywall, painting, flooring and doors — priced in writing, and scheduled so you open on time.

Why it is different

The work is the easy part. Not closing you is the job.

A stained ceiling tile over a service counter is half an hour of work and a week of looking bad. The difficulty on a trading premises is never the trade — it is getting in, containing the mess, and leaving the floor walkable before the doors open.

So commercial jobs get scheduled around your hours rather than ours, the work area gets sealed off rather than swept up afterwards, and the site is left usable at the end of every shift, not just at the end of the job.

Fully insured — $1M / $2M general liability. A W-9 and a certificate of insurance go out with every signed quote, which is usually what a property manager or a franchise operator needs before anyone can start.

What we take on

Suspended ceilings and ceiling tile

Replacing stained, sagging or water-damaged tile and grid, including over counters and seating.

Drywall and making good

Patching, skimming and repainting after a leak, a knock or a fit-out change.

Painting and decorating

Interiors repainted section by section so the room stays in use.

Flooring

Vinyl tile and plank laid in aisles and seating areas, phased so the space keeps trading.

Doors and hardware

Commercial entrance doors, closers, thresholds and locks.

Inspection before demolition

A camera into a wall cavity to look for mold or damage before anything is opened up — which is often how a small job stays small.

Where it needs a licensed specialist — roof coverings, fire systems, major mechanical or anything requiring a permit we cannot pull — we say so before quoting and refer it out rather than take it on. That is usually faster for you than finding out halfway through.
