Buildings age, businesses evolve, and the spaces that worked five or ten years ago often no longer serve the people inside them. Commercial interior renovation gives you the opportunity to modernize your facility, reconfigure how space is used, and bring your building up to current codes and standards—without the cost and disruption of relocating.
Nardi Construction has been delivering commercial interior renovations for over 30 years, working with building owners, facility managers, and tenants across every major property type. Based in Gurnee, Illinois, we serve clients throughout Chicagoland and the tristate area, with project capabilities extending nationwide.
Our Renovation Services
Demolition & Gut Renovation
When a space needs a complete reset, we handle selective or full interior demolition—removing walls, ceilings, flooring, and outdated mechanical systems to take the space back to shell condition. From there, we rebuild to your new specifications, working from updated plans and current code requirements.
Floor Plan Reconfiguration
Changing how a space is divided can transform how it functions. We relocate walls, add or remove offices, open up collaborative areas, and reconfigure circulation paths—giving you a layout that supports your current operations and growth plans.
Wall Systems & Framing
We install a full range of commercial wall systems: steel stud framing with drywall, modular and demountable partitions, fire-rated assemblies, and soundproofed walls. The right system depends on your budget, lease terms, and performance requirements—we'll help you choose.
Ceilings & Flooring
Finish upgrades make the biggest visual impact. We install suspended ceiling systems, acoustical tile, open-ceiling treatments, and specialty ceilings. For flooring, options include commercial carpet, luxury vinyl tile, polished concrete, epoxy, and hardwood—selected for durability and aesthetics.
Electrical & Lighting
Interior renovations frequently require updated electrical systems to support new layouts and equipment. We coordinate panel upgrades, circuit additions, data and low-voltage cabling, and modern LED lighting designs that improve energy efficiency and workspace quality.
Restrooms & ADA Compliance
Renovations often trigger ADA upgrade requirements. We build new compliant restrooms or retrofit existing facilities with accessible fixtures, clearances, grab bars, and signage. All work meets current ADA and local code standards.
How We Work
Renovation work in occupied buildings requires a different skill set than new construction. Noise, dust, access, and scheduling all need to be managed carefully to keep building operations running while construction progresses. Nardi Construction has decades of experience working in these conditions.
We start every project with a thorough assessment of existing conditions, then develop a phased construction plan that minimizes disruption. Your dedicated project manager coordinates all trades, manages the permit process, and keeps you informed with regular updates from demo through final punch list.
