Commercial Remodeling Services

Expert Design-Build Remodeling Services in Chicagoland, the North Shore, & the Northwest Suburbs

Built On Schedule.
Built To Code.
Built To Open On Time.

A commercial remodel runs on a different clock than a residential one.

Every day a space sits under construction is a day a business isn't running at full capacity, and that reality drives every decision we make on the job.

Skor Construction handles commercial remodels across Chicagoland, the North Shore, and the Northwest Suburbs, from professional offices and retail build-outs to restaurants, medical spaces, and full interior modernizations.

One team manages design coordination, permits, structural work, MEP, and finishes, so you have a single point of accountability from kickoff to opening day.

Why Business Owners Hire Skor

We understand first-hand how important it is that your business is handled with respect, and that's why other business owners come to us for their remodels. 

Schedule Discipline

A delayed opening costs more than the remodel itself. We build a realistic timeline up front, then run the job to hit it.

One Point Of Accountability

Design coordination, permits, structural work, MEP, and finishes all run through us. You make one call, not five.

Honest Communication

You'll know what's happening, what it's costing, and what's coming next at every stage of the build.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Remodeling

How Long Does a Commercial Remodel Take?expand_more

Most commercial remodels run anywhere from 8 to 24 weeks, depending on scope, permitting, and the trades involved.

A mid-range office or retail refresh tends to land on the shorter end, while full layout transformations with structural and MEP work sit at the longer end. We build a realistic timeline into the proposal so you can plan your reopening (and your revenue) around it.

Can We Stay Open During Construction?expand_more

Sometimes, and sometimes not. It depends on the scope and how the space is laid out.

Phased construction works well for offices and larger retail spaces, where work can move zone by zone, but restaurants and medical buildouts often run faster and cleaner with a full closure.

We'll walk you through the trade-offs honestly before you decide.

Do You Handle Permits and Code Compliance?expand_more

Yes, we manage permits, inspections, and code compliance as part of every commercial project.

Commercial work carries stricter requirements than residential (ADA, occupancy, fire ratings, mechanical code), and we coordinate with the municipality and our design partners to make sure the build clears every inspection on the first pass.

How Much Does a Commercial Remodel Cost?expand_more

The cost of our commercial projects generally starts at $150K for mid-range build-outs and $300K and up for full modernizations.

Final cost depends on square footage, structural and MEP scope, finish level, and the specialized trades your industry requires. Every proposal we issue includes design, permits, labor, and materials.

What Types of Commercial Spaces Do You Remodel?expand_more

We work on professional offices, medical and dental practices, restaurants, retail storefronts, and tenant improvements in leased space. The trades and code requirements shift by industry, but the underlying, proven process stays the same.

OUR COMMERCIAL REMODELING PROCESS

01 | Plan

It starts with a quick discovery call and an in-person visit, where we walk the space, talk through what you want, and pressure-test ideas against your budget. Within about a week, we send a written investment range so you can decide whether to move forward before anyone designs in a vacuum.

02 | Design
We move into paid design with our architect and interior design partners, producing real floor plans, 3D renderings, and a guided selections process for finishes and materials, all coordinated by us. The phase ends with a detailed, fixed-price construction proposal covering scope, allowances, schedule, and milestones.
03 | Build
We pull permits, schedule trades, and run construction with a dedicated project manager and weekly check-ins, so you always know what's happening and what's next. You leave with a finished space, a written workmanship warranty, and a real human to call if anything needs attention down the road.

I recently completed a basement renovation with Anton and the team at Skor Construction, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They were professional, thorough, responsive, and consistently on time. The project involved a challenging layout, but they completely reconfigured and updated the space with skill and attention to detail. I’m thrilled with the outcome and will absolutely turn to Skor Construction for any future home renovation projects.

Skor Construction is fabulous. I was looking for a general contractor for a home addition and renovations. Anton took the time to keep me posted and respected my time and budget. He conducted a home visit, spending hours talking about options, processes, and what to expect. His knowledge and understanding greatly impressed me. I would recommend Anton and his team 10 out of 10 times.
