CM Combs Construction

Renovations

Transforming existing spaces with minimal disruption. We specialize in occupied renovations that keep your operations running.

Not every project starts with an empty lot. CM Combs has extensive experience renovating occupied buildings — courthouses, offices, schools, and commercial spaces — where business continuity is non-negotiable. We develop phased construction plans that isolate work areas, control noise and dust, and maintain safe access for building occupants. Our renovation portfolio includes everything from historic restorations requiring meticulous attention to original materials, to complete gut-and-rebuild projects that deliver a brand-new interior within an existing shell.

Our Process

How We Deliver

Assessment & Planning

Thorough existing conditions survey, hazardous material assessment, structural evaluation, and phasing plan development. We uncover hidden conditions before they become surprises.

Selective Demolition

Careful removal of existing finishes, systems, and structures. We protect what stays, salvage what has value, and properly dispose of what goes — including any hazardous materials.

Structural & Systems

Foundation repairs, structural modifications, and new MEP rough-in. This is where renovation complexity lives — we manage the unknowns that come with opening up existing construction.

Finishes & Fit-Out

New walls, ceilings, flooring, millwork, and fixtures. We match existing finishes where required and deliver clean transitions between old and new construction.

Commissioning & Turnover

Systems testing, final finishes, punch list completion, and phased occupancy. We return the space to full operation with minimal disruption.
