Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a tenant improvement build-out?
Tenant improvements typically include office build-outs, remodeling, custom renovations, exterior remodeling, and building alterations designed to enhance commercial properties. These modifications adapt the space to meet specific business needs and operational requirements. At Beehler Construction LLC, we customize tenant improvements for offices, retail spaces, and commercial facilities throughout Wenatchee, WA.How does new home construction differ from a full remodel?
New home construction builds from foundation to finish with personalized design solutions, while full remodels update and renovate existing structures. New builds offer complete customization of layout, systems, and materials without working around existing limitations. Remodels preserve structural elements while upgrading interiors, exteriors, and finishes to modernize the home.What are Therma Tru door systems best for?
Therma Tru door systems are high-quality doors suitable for both residential and commercial properties, including interior, exterior, and metal door applications. They provide superior durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic options. At Beehler Construction LLC, we install Therma Tru systems along with operable partitions for flexible space management.When should you consider adding an ADU to your property?
Consider adding an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) when you need extra living space for family, rental income opportunities, or home office use. ADUs increase property value and provide flexible housing solutions on your existing lot. They're ideal for growing families or homeowners seeking additional revenue streams in Wenatchee's housing market.What's the biggest advantage of steel building construction?
Steel buildings provide durable and long-lasting structural solutions ideal for commercial and industrial applications. They resist weather damage, require minimal maintenance, and offer faster construction timelines compared to traditional methods. At Beehler Construction LLC, we install steel buildings designed to withstand the climate conditions common in Central Washington.How do you know when a roof needs replacement versus repair?
A roof needs replacement when widespread damage, aging materials, or structural issues compromise its integrity, while isolated problems like minor leaks can be repaired. Signs of replacement include curling shingles, extensive water damage, or roofs nearing the end of their lifespan. Professional inspection determines the most cost-effective solution for residential and commercial properties.What siding materials work best in Wenatchee's climate?
Vinyl, fiber cement, and wood siding all perform well in Wenatchee's climate when properly installed. Fiber cement offers excellent durability against temperature fluctuations and UV exposure, while vinyl provides low maintenance. Wood siding delivers classic appeal but requires more upkeep in Central Washington's dry, sunny conditions.What does a commercial remodel typically involve?
Commercial remodels include building modifications, interior updates, exterior enhancements, and custom equipment installations for offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and industrial plants. The scope adapts existing structures to meet current business operations, safety codes, and customer experience goals. Projects range from cosmetic updates to comprehensive structural changes.Can you install operable partitions in existing buildings?
Yes, operable partitions can be installed in existing residential and commercial buildings to create flexible space management. These movable walls allow rooms to be divided or opened as needed for changing uses. At Beehler Construction LLC, we integrate operable partition systems into both new construction and remodeling projects.What's the difference between re-roofing and roof replacement?
Re-roofing adds new shingles over existing layers, while roof replacement removes all old materials down to the decking before installing new roofing. Replacement addresses underlying damage and extends roof lifespan longer. Re-roofing costs less but is only suitable when the existing roof structure remains sound and local codes permit layering.How long does exterior siding installation usually take?
Exterior siding installation typically takes one to three weeks depending on home size, material type, and weather conditions. Larger homes or complex architectural details require more time. At Beehler Construction LLC, we work efficiently while ensuring proper installation techniques that protect your Wenatchee home from moisture and temperature extremes.What should you prepare before a tenant improvement project starts?
Before tenant improvements begin, finalize design plans, secure necessary permits, and coordinate with building management on access and timelines. Clear the work area and communicate project scope with employees or tenants. Early planning minimizes business disruption and ensures construction progresses smoothly for offices and commercial spaces.
