Small-business space in Dallas means service retail and restaurant space on Lower Greenville, in Bishop Arts and in Oak Lawn, or second-generation suites in Deep Ellum and the Design District, and a remodel there is usually the size larger general contractors decline. Most of the cost is decided by how much of the existing layout and systems you keep. Paint and flooring with nothing moving is one job, and a moved wall or a rerouted circuit is a different band. In Dallas, the work we quote most includes salon suites, barbershops and med-spas.

Dallas review runs longer than the suburbs around it, so the schedule risk on a Dallas job sits in the review queue rather than in the field. On a small remodel the review can be longer than the work, so we tell you at the walk whether your scope needs a permit at all.

Small Business Remodel in Dallas: common questions

What does a small business remodel cost in Dallas?

The rate does not change between Dallas and the suburbs. What changes is the building and the queue. Paint and flooring refresh runs $10 to $25/SF, Light office TI runs $35 to $65/SF, and Standard office TI runs $65 to $95/SF. These are budgeting ranges, not a quote: scope moves the number more than square footage does, and every job is scoped and priced per project after a site walk. Permits and standard city inspections are in the price. FF&E, design and engineering, landlord fees and the category adders are priced separately and named in the written scope.

Who permits a small business remodel in Dallas?

The City of Dallas issues the building permit, and the trade permits follow the scope. Paint, flooring and fixtures swapped in place generally need no permit. Moving a wall, adding circuits or touching plumbing does, and we tell you which side of that line the scope sits on at the walk.

How does a storefront on Lower Greenville, in Bishop Arts or in Oak Lawn compare with a suite in Deep Ellum or the Design District for a small business remodel?

On Lower Greenville, in Bishop Arts and in Oak Lawn, a bay refresh between tenants is mostly paint, flooring and lighting on the existing circuits, and the work letter says what the landlord pays toward it. In Deep Ellum and the Design District, older space prices on what it needs before the remodel even starts: electrical service capacity and accessibility are the two most common. We confirm which one you are looking at on the walk, before you budget.

What is not in the price on a Dallas remodel?

Brand signage, FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment) and IT/AV cabling are separate lines, so the scope stays transparent. Labor, materials, permits, city inspections and project management are in the price, and you see the breakdown in writing before you sign.

When does a Dallas small business remodel need a TDLR accessibility review?

When construction cost passes $50,000. At that point the project is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and reviewed against the Texas Accessibility Standards by a registered accessibility specialist, and the registration goes in before the permit application. It is a common reason a Dallas job quoted at four weeks of field work takes three months start to finish, and it is in the written scope when it applies.
