Tenant Improvement Contractor in Clovis, CA

A Clovis storefront built around your business

Clovis keeps adding newer subdivisions, and the businesses that serve those families need somewhere to open. That growing commercial base means new retail suites, professional offices and small restaurants moving into leased space. A tenant improvement turns that space into something that fits. Ben-Rick handles the metal stud framing, sheetrock, electrical and plumbing, then finishes with millwork, hardware and flooring picked for the way your customers come through the door.

Tenant Improvement Contractor work in Clovis

Old Town Clovis is a different kind of project. Buildings in the historic downtown tend to be older, and a storefront there can hide past remodels, tired wiring and uneven floors. We open things up carefully, show you what we find and plan the new layout around what the building really has. Newer centers around town are usually more straightforward, with shell space ready for walls, ceilings and finishes.

Before any walls come down, we sit down with you and look at the lease, the landlord's requirements and your floor plan. A site walk follows, then a written scope and estimate you can share with the property manager. Work that changes walls or systems may need a permit from the City of Clovis building department. From there one person at Ben-Rick stays your contact through the final walkthrough.

Typical projects

Typical tenant improvement contractor projects in Clovis

Tutoring center with small classrooms

A tutoring company signs a lease on a newer suite in a Clovis center close to several subdivisions full of school-age kids. The space is one big room, and the owner wants small classrooms, a front desk for parents and a spot for backpacks and coats. We sit down with the owner to count students per room, then walk the suite and plan wall locations so each classroom gets its own door and good lighting. The written scope covers metal stud framing, insulation in the walls for quieter rooms, outlets for laptops and whiteboard backing. From there the crew frames, hangs sheetrock, finishes the walls and installs the doors and hardware.

Old Town boutique fitting rooms

A clothing boutique owner in Old Town Clovis has a narrow storefront with a cramped back storage area. She wants fitting rooms along one side, a proper stockroom behind them and a checkout counter that faces the door. Older downtown buildings can surprise you, so we start by opening a small section of wall and ceiling to see what earlier remodels left behind. The scope then lays out the fitting room framing, doors and mirrors backing, the stockroom shelving, new lighting over the sales floor and a custom millwork counter. We plan the order of work so the owner knows which days the front of the shop will be closed off.

Joining two suites into one

A property manager in Clovis has a growing tenant that needs more room, and the suite next door just came open. Taking out the wall between them gives the tenant one larger space without moving across town. We walk both suites with the manager and the tenant, check what runs inside the shared wall, and look at how the two ceilings, floors and lighting layouts will meet. The written scope covers demo of the dividing wall, rerouting any electrical or plumbing inside it, patching the ceiling and matching floor finishes across the old line. The crew then builds the new layout the tenant asked for, and everyone walks the combined space together at the end.

What's included

Tenant improvements turn a bare shell or a tired leased suite into a working office, shop or restaurant for the business moving in. Ben-Rick Construction Inc. handles the framing, sheetrock, electrical, plumbing, millwork and finishes as one build-out, coordinated with the landlord or property manager. Here's what a tenant improvement build-out in Clovis usually covers.

Layout and metal stud framing

New offices, break rooms and storage get framed to the plan you and the landlord agree on. Metal studs keep the walls straight and ready for finish.

Electrical and plumbing for the space

Panel work, outlets, lighting and plumbing rough-in and finish are handled as part of the build-out, placed where your staff and equipment need them.

Sheetrock, tape and texture

Walls and ceilings get hung, taped, finished and textured so the suite looks clean and ready for customers.

Millwork, hardware and flooring

Counters, cabinets, doors, hardware and floor finishes go in last, built to your plans or your franchise brand's standards.

FAQ

Tenant Improvement Contractor in Clovis: questions

We're leasing a storefront in Old Town Clovis. Can an older building like that handle a modern build-out?

Most can, with some planning. Older storefronts often have past remodels and wiring that need a closer look, so we open things up carefully and show you what we find. The written scope reflects what the building actually needs.

I've got a brand-new shell suite in a Clovis center with nothing but a concrete floor. What goes in first?

Layout first. Once you and the landlord agree on the plan, we frame the walls, run electrical and plumbing rough-in and close up with sheetrock. Ceilings, millwork, flooring and hardware finish it out.

My Clovis office lease is up for renewal and the landlord will pay for some updates. Can you work within what they're offering us?

Yes. We can scope the work to fit the amount the landlord has offered. You'll get an itemized estimate so you both can see where each dollar goes.

Our salon is moving to Clovis and we need extra sinks along one wall. Is that a big deal?

It's very doable. We look at where the existing plumbing runs and what the floor slab allows, then plan the new lines as part of the build-out. It's all written into the scope before work starts.

Can you build out a Clovis suite to a franchise brand's exact finish standards?

Yes. We build franchise locations to the brand's plans and standards, from wall layout to millwork and hardware. Send the plan set over and we'll walk the suite against it.

The Clovis space we picked used to be a small cafe. Can we turn it into an office?

Yes. We can remove the old counters and fixtures, cap what's no longer needed and frame offices and a conference room. Some of the existing plumbing may even work for a break room.

Will our tenant build-out in Clovis need approval from the city?

It may. Moving walls or changing electrical and plumbing often needs a permit from the City of Clovis building department. We'll go over your plans during the site walk so you know what to ask.

My property manager wants a written scope before anyone sets foot in the suite. Isn't that unusual?

It's exactly how we work. After the site walk you get a written scope and estimate, and you're welcome to pass it straight to the property manager for review.

We're a small Clovis team and our budget's tight. What's the smallest tenant improvement you'll take on?

Projects start around $5,000. That can cover work like a private office, a reception counter or a refreshed break room. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll talk it through.

It's a busy Clovis shopping center. Will the work get in the way of other tenants?

We keep the work inside your suite as much as we can and keep common areas clean. Louder tasks can be scheduled with the property manager so neighboring businesses stay open and comfortable.
