A commercial remodeling contractor manages the planning, permitting, construction, and completion of renovation projects for businesses and commercial properties. This includes design-builds, expansions, alterations, demolitions, retrofits, and tenant improvements. Randahl Construction has nearly 40 years of commercial remodeling experience serving businesses across the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota area, including healthcare, dental, corporate, retail, and hospitality clients.
Commercial remodeling costs in Minnesota typically depend on the scope, finishes, and complexity of the project. A small cosmetic renovation may start around $50,000 while a full commercial buildout or addition can range from $200,000 to over $1 million. Randahl Construction provides detailed “real numbers” estimates that cover every aspect of cost, timeline, and materials before any work begins — no surprises, no forced change orders.
Most commercial remodeling projects in the Twin Cities take between 6 and 20 weeks depending on size and complexity. Randahl Construction has a 40-year track record of completing projects on time and ahead of schedule. Every project begins with a detailed timeline so business owners know exactly what to expect from day one.
In most cases yes. Randahl Construction specializes in phased construction schedules that allow businesses to remain fully or partially operational throughout the renovation process. We use temporary barriers, dust containment systems, and scheduling to minimize disruption to your staff and customers throughout the project.
Yes, most commercial remodeling projects in Minnesota require permits for structural changes, electrical upgrades, plumbing modifications, and HVAC work. As your contractor, Randahl Construction pulls all required permits and manages every inspection on your behalf. You should never be asked by a contractor to pull your own permits — if you are, consider it a red flag.
A design-build contractor manages both the architectural design and physical construction of a project under one contract and one point of contact. This eliminates the communication gap between separate architects and contractors, reduces costs, and speeds up project timelines. Randahl Construction has provided design-build commercial remodeling services in Minnesota for nearly four decades.

With nearly 40 years of commercial remodeling experience in Minnesota, we have the expertise to handle virtually any commercial renovation project regardless of industry.
Many Twin Cities business owners expand their existing space rather than relocating by reconfiguring their current floor plan for greater efficiency, adding square footage through building additions, finishing underutilized basement or second floor space, or converting storage areas into functional workspace. Randahl Construction evaluates all expansion options and recommends the most cost-effective path to growth for your specific property and budget.
Any commercial renovation in Minnesota that affects areas of primary function must bring those areas into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. This includes accessible entrances, restrooms, parking, pathway clearances, and signage requirements. Randahl Construction ensures every commercial remodeling project in the Twin Cities meets current ADA standards and Minnesota building codes so clients are never caught with compliance issues after the project is complete.
Randahl Construction is a commercial concrete contractor serving the Twin Cities metro area and greater Minnesota.

Properly installed and maintained commercial concrete in Minnesota can last 30 to 50 years or more. Longevity depends heavily on mix design, installation quality, sealing frequency, and how well the concrete holds up against Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles. Randahl Construction’s nearly 40 years of commercial concrete experience across the Twin Cities means we understand exactly what it takes to build concrete that performs long-term in Minnesota’s climate.
Yes, but it requires careful planning and additional protective measures. Winter concrete work in Minnesota requires heated enclosures or blankets to maintain concrete temperatures above 50°F during placement and curing, use of accelerating admixtures, and extended curing protection periods. These measures add cost but allow year-round concrete construction when project schedules demand it. Randahl Construction has extensive experience managing winter concrete pours throughout the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota area.
