Commercial Renovation in Charlotte & Across North Carolina
Transform your existing commercial space without the cost and timeline of new construction. TGA Renovated delivers commercial renovation projects that modernize outdated facilities, improve operational efficiency, and minimize disruption to your business. From office renovations to retail refreshes, we revitalize spaces that drive results.
Is Commercial Renovation Right for Your Project?
Commercial renovation transforms existing spaces rather than building new. It is often faster, more cost-effective, and less disruptive than ground-up construction, but it is not the right choice for every situation. Here is who benefits most from commercial renovation.
Get Started
Business Owners in Outdated Spaces
Your facility works, but it is showing its age. Worn finishes, inefficient layouts, and dated aesthetics are affecting employee morale and client impressions. You need a refresh that modernizes without relocating your entire operation.
Property Owners & Landlords
You are preparing a commercial space for new tenants or upgrading existing facilities to command higher rents. You need renovations that maximize property value while staying within investment parameters that make financial sense.
Companies Expanding or Reconfiguring
Your business has grown or changed, and your space has not kept up. You need to reconfigure layouts, add capacity, or repurpose areas, all within your existing footprint. Moving is not practical; renovation is.
Organizations Addressing Code Compliance
Building codes, ADA requirements, or safety regulations have changed since your facility was built. You need upgrades that bring your space into compliance without unnecessary disruption or over-building.
Businesses Prioritizing Sustainability
You want to reduce operating costs and environmental impact through energy-efficient upgrades: LED lighting, modern HVAC systems, improved insulation, water-saving fixtures. Renovation lets you retrofit sustainability into your existing building.
Not Sure If Renovation Is Right?
If your building has fundamental structural issues, requires complete demolition, or you are developing a new site, our Commercial Construction service may be more appropriate. We will help you evaluate both options during your consultation.

Commercial Renovation FAQs
How long does a typical commercial renovation take?
Timeline depends heavily on scope and whether you need to maintain operations during construction. A cosmetic refresh (paint, flooring, fixtures) might take 2-4 weeks. A moderate renovation with some structural changes typically runs 6-12 weeks. Major renovations involving significant MEP work can take 3-6 months.
Can we stay open during the renovation?
In most cases, yes. We specialize in occupied renovations and develop phasing plans that isolate construction from your operations. This might involve working in sections, scheduling noisy work during off-hours, or creating temporary barriers. Some projects do require brief closures for specific activities, but we minimize this through careful planning.
What is the difference between commercial renovation and commercial construction?
Commercial renovation transforms existing spaces—updating finishes, reconfiguring layouts, upgrading systems—while working within the existing building structure. Commercial construction builds new spaces from the ground up. Renovation is typically faster and less expensive, but works within the constraints of the existing building. Construction offers complete design flexibility but requires more time and investment.
How much does commercial renovation cost?
Commercial renovation costs vary widely based on scope, from $50-75 per square foot for cosmetic updates to $150-250+ per square foot for comprehensive renovations including MEP upgrades. Factors affecting cost include: existing conditions, extent of structural changes, finish quality, MEP modifications, and whether you're maintaining operations during construction. We provide detailed, transparent estimates after our assessment phase.
What surprises should we expect in a renovation project?
Older buildings often reveal unexpected conditions once demolition begins—outdated wiring, plumbing issues, water damage, asbestos, or code violations from previous work. We conduct thorough pre-construction assessments to identify potential issues, and we recommend a 10-15% contingency in your budget for genuinely unforeseen conditions. When surprises occur, we document them immediately and present options before proceeding.
Do you handle permits for renovation projects?
Yes. We manage all permitting as part of our standard service, including building permits, trade permits (electrical, plumbing, mechanical), fire marshal approvals, and health department permits where applicable. We understand local requirements across North Carolina municipalities and maintain relationships that help navigate the approval process efficiently.
What areas in North Carolina do you serve?
We provide commercial renovation services throughout North Carolina, with concentrated experience in Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Asheville, Fayetteville, Wilmington, and the surrounding markets. Our Cornelius headquarters positions us centrally for projects across the state.
How do you handle ADA compliance in renovations?
ADA compliance is integrated into every commercial renovation. When renovating, you're generally required to make accessibility improvements up to 20% of renovation costs. We evaluate current compliance status during assessment, identify required upgrades, and incorporate them into the design. This includes accessible routes, restroom modifications, door hardware, signage, and other elements depending on your space type.
Can you work with our interior designer or architect?
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with client-selected designers and architects. We can also provide design services in-house if you prefer a single-source approach. Either way, we ensure designs are buildable, value-engineered appropriately, and constructible within your budget and timeline.
