More Commercial Remodeling FAQ

What is green remodeling?
Green remodeling allows homeowners the opportunity to combine money saving and earth-sustaining green concepts into their homes. Green remodeling gives consideration to indoor air quality; energy and resource conservation; material waste reduction; and using more environmentally friendly products.

Should I remodel green?
It’s much easier on the earth than traditional commercial remodeling. It also tends to result in lower energy costs, around 30-50%, and provides a healthier home to live in.

What are some remodeling ideas?
You have to think about not only what you need, but what you want. Decide on the changes you want made, and ask friends, family and customers for input. Create a prioritized list based off of this and what you find in magazines.

When is it time to remodel?
Whenever you think your business could use it. Maybe the green and gold adorning your restaurant walls are no longer trendy, or customers have to stand in line to use the restroom. You have to be the one to decide a remodel is need.

Do I need to shut my business down during a remodel?
Not at all! We will work around your business to get the job done.

Commercial Remodeling FAQ

Here are some of the more common questions we get about commercial remodeling:

What’s the difference between the big retail chains and remodeling companies?
A lot of stores, like Lowes and Home Depot, now offer remodeling services. However, when you hire a remodeling company, you’ll get experts who know how to handle things that appear during the project. They also have greater flexibility in getting the job done and will only use the highest quality projects.

How many estimates should I get?
The rule of thumb is three, however, you should research as much as you can. Find out what the differences are between all these companies. If all the bids are within 10-15% each other, choose within your budget and whatever remodeling contractor with whom you’re most comfortable.

How long should my project take?
This question will depend on the project’s size and scope, and whatever is found during construction. Ask the contractor for a reasonable timeframe, but understand unforeseen circumstances can, and most likely will, happen.

How important is it for my contractor to be licensed and insured?
It’s probably the most important aspect. Many states and municipalities require contractors to be licensed, so be sure to ask prospective contractors for proof of licensing and insurance.

Shouldn’t I just do the project myself?
Sure. If you enjoy physical work, are patient, are able to handle unforeseen circumstances, willing to deal with possible stress, know the steps and can handle it by yourself, among other issues. Think of what you’re getting into before trying to go it alone.

Commercial Remodeling Ideas for Offices from Titus Contracting

The design and layout of your office is the first impression you give clients about your business. If it’s messy and disorganized, they’re going to think your business approach is the same. One of the best ways to keep clientele coming back is giving your office a professional commercial remodeling overhaul. At Titus Contracting, serving Minneapolis, St Paul and surrounding areas, we tell our clients to focus on the following:

Paint
If your employees need to be full of energy, a bright color like red and orange will help ensure their energy levels are up. If your business is full of stress, calm colors assist in soothing nerves.

Lighting
If you or your employees are snoozing in the middle of the work day, then lighting might be the cause. Ways to solve this issue – and increase productivity – including installing new light fixtures, as well as letting natural light into work spaces.

Furniture
You don’t want to skimp on comfort. Desk chairs should have a cushioned seat and back, and allow for ergonomically correct posture. This will keep you and the rest of the workforce set on what needs to be done, and avert future back problems as a result of long periods of sitting.

At Titus Contracting, we’ve handled many office remodeling projects, staying with each client every step of the way. Visit www.TitusContracting.com today to begin creating your dream Twin Cities office.

Commercial Remodeling Ideas for Restaurants from Titus Contracting

When it comes to giving your restaurant a commercial remodeling overhaul, you don’t want to take any missteps. You want your restaurant remodeling project to go seamlessly, as your business is your livelihood. At Titus Contracting, serving the Twin Cities MN areas, we encounter many clients who know they need a commercial construction overhaul, but are unsure where to go. Here are a few ideas to help you get started:

Focus on ambience
While the furniture is important, the ambience of your restaurant can mean the difference between success and failure. Customers want to eat in a place that’s warm and inviting, not a place that’s cold and withdrawn. The ambience affects everything, right down to how the food tastes.

Keep your design in line with your expectations
If you are serving Italian cuisine, it’s probably not best to have mounted wildlife adorning your restaurant’s walls. If you’re unclear as where to go, then hiring a professional decorator might be the best solution, as this will keep you on your timeframe.

Don’t settle for what’s trendy
You want your restaurant to be modern, but you’ll also want it to be timeless. Don’t try to do whatever one else is doing. You need to set your business apart from your competitors, and the best way to go about this is to create something timeless.

If you need a professional remodeling contractor for your Twin Cities business, Titus Contracting can help. Visit us today at www.TitusContracting.com

Remodeling Tips from Titus Contracting


Summertime means remodeling time. Homeowners all over the country soon will be getting ready to embark on that dream home remodeling project, tearing out old board and painting new drywall. However, it’s often easy for a residential remodel to turn into a nightmare. Avoid this by following the tips below: 

  • Doing it yourself can save you on labor fees, but one mistake could mean even more than you might have paid. Professional remodeling contractors like Titus Contracting are trained to avoid these costly errors.
  • One of the ways to decrease costs is by product choices. Sure, the look of that flooring is great, but can you find a similar product at a cheaper cost?
  • Plan ahead. This is often forgotten by so many who attempt to go it alone. Planning ahead with a budget will reduce stress over the project’s life. Every little details counts, so plan it all, from appliances to wall plates.
  • Price is an option that must be considered, but don’t forget about value and quality when making a choice.
  • Be creative. There is often more than one way to complete a project. Talk to your remodeling contractor about different options.
  • Moving windows is not a money saver. Attempt to keep all windows in place.

There’s no shame in needing help. If your Minneapolis home needs some spice, get in touch with us by visiting www.TitusContracting.com.

What Customers are Saying about Titus Contracting

At Titus Contracting, we aim to garner the trust and respect of our customers. When it comes to home improvement & design in the Twin Cities MN areas, we want to be people’s first and only choice.

Here’s what one customer had to say about her business remodeling project done by Titus Contracting:

I would just like to extend an enormous thank you to Scott and Lee at Titus Contracting for the recent job he completed for me.  As a business owner, I am particular about every detail pertaining to my company, including its location and building.  Recently, I decided to purchase, completely demolish and then reconstruct a new commercial space, all within roughly 3 weeks.  Because of the extremely tight deadline, I expected many of those very important details to be overlooked and dismissed by the contractor.  However, once Scott and his team got to work, I was presently surprised.

Not only did Scott go above and beyond to complete the build-out by the deadline, but he also left no detail untouched, and made sure his team operated in the same way.  By the end of the project, the team and I had become like family; people who invested much blood, sweat and tears together to achieve my dream space.  I truly believe that if it were not for the constant communication, dedication, and overall business and interpersonal skills of Scott and his team, this project would have never been completed to perfection on time.

After everything was said and done, I can't imagine completing this project without Scott and Titus.  They truly exceeded my expectations; and put me at ease as a business owner who is deeply invested in her company and its surroundings.  For any of my future projects, I definitely won't have to think twice about selecting a contractor.  I am truly a customer for life.

Thank you again.

What Customers are Saying about Titus Contracting


At Titus Contracting, we aim to garner the trust and respect of our customers. When it comes to home improvement & design in the Twin Cities MN areas, we want to be people’s first and only choice.

Here’s what one customer had to say about their home remodeling project done by Titus Contracting: 

I wanted to drop you a quick note thanking you not only for the quality of the work you recently completed on my house, but also for the professional and timely manner in which it was handled.  Bids were accurate, the timeline was reasonable and adhered to, and the craftsmanship is first rate.  The results transformed a tired den, hallway, laundry/bath, and garage, into warm, modern living spaces.

While I’d never met you, Lee, before this project, I found your knowledge and skills what I would hope for in an experienced, successful contractor.  On the other hand, Scott, this recent project went as smoothly as when I first met you on my previous kitchen re-design in 2007.  As you know, I find you to be not only a trusted project manager but an insightful creative consultant.  That project required a lot of thinking outside-the-box and, together, we crafted a kitchen of both high function and aesthetic grace that has received many compliments since.  This recent project realized similar stunning results.

I also want to add a comment about your tilemaster, Mark.  In both the kitchen project and this basement re-do, Mark’s tilework moved well beyond cutting and pasting into what I can only call the realm of art.  Beautiful workmanship.  Hang on to him!

My next project, hopefully, isn’t too far away and I will likely make only one call: the call to Titus.  Thanks again!

Titus Contracting Builds Excellence Fueled By Your Dreams

How does Titus Contracting build projects that win awards? How have we grown into one of the best Minnesota remodeling contractors in the business?

It starts first with the customer. Then, we work hard to make sure you’re happy and the work we’re doing suits you and your needs. All the awards in the world can’t compete with customer satisfaction.

We’ll review your Twin Cities remodeling project’s details with you to identify your goals and preferences. We then define the project in terms of needs, wants and wishes as the preliminary budget is drafter.

After this is complete, a designer will meet with you to take measurements and discuss the finished project and overall look. This allows us to come back to you with a scope of work and investment range.

We review your St. Paul building project or Minneapolis remodeling project together to decide the parts that will be included in your design concept work. This is formalized with a signed agreement to ensure we have a complete and understand, and then the design begins!

We start with the conceptual plans, which include floor plans, elevations and 3D color perspectives to allow you to see and feel what the finished Shapokee bathroom remodeling or other project will look like. We then meet again so we can complete the architectural drawings and make sure we have your dream captured on the prints.

An open house is then conducted with all the subcontractors and material suppliers. You can ask questions to them about your Lakeville tile installation or MN home renovations, and vice versa. We will do our best to prevent any potential issues, as well as accept any additional ideas.

While we do this, you’ll be out selecting all the finishes, like carpet, tile, cabinets and counter tops. The bids collected are presented to you and together, we fine tune all specifics.

A schedule is finalized and we are ready to get your MN commercial construction project underway!
