When you’re a Minnesota business owner or franchisee thinking about expanding, opening a new storefront, or renovating an office, choosing the right commercial contractor is essential. At Allan Dorney Construction, based in Fridley and serving the Twin Cities metro area, we specialize in commercial build outs and remodeling. With over a decade of experience and a family owned, community focused approach, we’re here to make your project smooth, efficient, and tailored to your vision.

What is a Commercial Build Out?

A “build out” is the process of converting a raw or existing space to fit the unique needs of your business—whether that’s a boutique, restaurant, office, or medical facility. It usually involves framing, plumbing, electric, finishes, and complying with tenant landlord agreements or building codes. At Allan Dorney Construction, we manage everything from permitting to final punch list; our mission is to deliver a turnkey solution without the headache for you.

Commercial Remodeling with a Purpose

Remodeling is often more than just a fresh coat of paint. Maybe your retail area needs a layout re config, your office could benefit from better lighting or ADA compliance, or your multi tenant building needs upgraded lobbies and corridors. Allan Dorney offers customized remodeling services for a wide range of spaces, including healthcare clinics, schools, industrial sites, and mixed use facilities.
Our full range of remodeling solutions includes:

• Space redesign
• Lighting & ceiling updates
• ADA accessibility upgrades
• Window, siding, roofing, and gutter replacements for commercial buildings
