Building Renovation
Building renovation transforms existing structures for new uses and modernizes aging facilities. As your general contractor for renovation projects, we deliver complete renovations from structural work through finish details for property owners across North Texas.
Building renovation presents unique challenges compared to new construction. Existing buildings require work around occupied spaces, coordination with operating systems, discovery of hidden conditions, and integration of new work with old structure. Successful renovation requires experience that new-construction-only contractors often lack.
DeSoto Concrete Contractors provides general contracting services for commercial building renovations. We work with property owners modernizing buildings for continued use, adapting structures for new tenants, or converting buildings to different uses. Our renovation experience includes the problem-solving skills that hidden conditions demand.
Renovation project types include tenant space renovations and upgrades, building conversions to new uses, historic building restoration and adaptation, accessibility improvements and ADA compliance, building system upgrades and replacements, facade and building envelope renovation, and interior renovations in occupied buildings.
Discovery is inherent in renovation work. Hidden conditions, code violations, asbestos or environmental issues, and structural problems may appear during demolition. We help property owners manage these discoveries through proactive investigation, reasonable contingency budgets, and flexible problem-solving when issues arise.

How do you handle unknown conditions in renovation projects?
We recommend pre-construction investigation to minimize unknowns, include reasonable contingencies in budgets, communicate immediately when issues arise, and work with owners to develop solutions when discoveries occur.
Can buildings remain occupied during major renovations?
Most renovations can proceed with buildings occupied, though some disruption is unavoidable. We develop phasing plans, maintain safe egress paths, control dust and noise, and communicate schedules to affected occupants.
Do you handle historic building renovations?
Yes, we've completed renovation projects in historic commercial buildings. We work within preservation requirements, coordinate with historic commissions, and use appropriate methods for historic structures.
How do renovation costs compare to new construction?
Renovation can cost more per square foot than new construction due to demolition, unknown conditions, working around existing systems, and occupancy constraints. However, renovation preserves location and can be faster than new development.
