The problem
Commercial work is not residential work scaled up. The framing schedule has to line up with a tenant move in date that does not move. The demising wall has to meet the landlord's spec and the AHJ's life safety review. The storefront has to be glazed without holding up the rest of the trades. A residential carpenter who has never run a commercial schedule will overpromise on dates and underdeliver on the punch list. Aloha runs commercial because Ricki has run commercial.
Aloha holds the WA general contractor license and runs commercial tenant improvements, light commercial remodel, storefront install, and commercial framing work across the Greater Seattle Area. Recent commercial work includes a full credit-union storefront tenant improvement, so the storefront and TI playbook is current. We do not chase ground up commercial new construction, but for tenant improvements, demising work, ADA upgrades, and storefront install we are equipped for it.
What’s included
Every line of the scope, on the table.
- Tenant improvement framing and finish (light commercial)
- Storefront install and storefront glass coordination
- Demising walls (one hour and two hour rated where required)
- Commercial framing (light gauge and dimensional)
- ADA compliance work (door widening, threshold, restroom layout)
- Commercial door install (storefront entry, back of house steel)
- Light commercial remodel (retail buildout, office buildout, food and beverage shells)
- Coordination with commercial plumber, electrician, mechanical, and life safety subs
- Permit and life safety review coordination with the AHJ
- Schedule pressure understood (tenant move in dates respected)
“We don’t sub out the carpentry. We build it ourselves. That’s the difference.”

Why Aloha
What you’re actually paying for.
- 01
Commercial schedule respected
Tenant move in dates do not move. We build the schedule backward from the deadline and we hit it. Our most recent commercial job was a credit-union storefront tenant improvement.
- 02
Demising and rated assemblies built to spec
One hour and two hour rated demising walls built to the assembly the AHJ requires, with the documentation to clear life safety review. No improvised assemblies.
- 03
Storefront capable
Storefront glazing coordinated with glaziers we work with regularly. Aluminum entry systems and threshold details run through our crew on the carpentry and finish side.
- 04
Honest scope boundary
We do not chase ground up commercial new construction. We do tenant improvements, light commercial remodel, storefront install, demising, and ADA work. Within that lane we are equipped and current.
Implementation
What the day looks like.
Most commercial engagements run from four weeks (single tenant improvement on an existing shell) to twelve weeks (full branch renovation or multi suite demising buildout). Material lead times on storefront glass and commercial doors drive the front of the schedule. We order at contract signing so material is staged by the time framing closes in. Site protection on every commercial job, with attention to the rest of the building's tenants where the work is in a multi tenant complex.

Why this scope, with us
Commercial schedule pressure understood. Tenant move in dates respected.
Storefront glass, demising walls, ADA compliance, and commercial door install all live within our regular scope — most recently on a credit-union storefront tenant improvement. Within the tenant improvement lane, we are current and equipped.
Frequently asked
The questions that come up before booking.
Do you take on full commercial tenant improvements?
Yes. Storefront, demising walls, ADA work, and interior framing on the same job — most recently a credit-union storefront tenant improvement. References available on request.
Do you build to landlord criteria and tenant criteria both?
Yes. Both sets of criteria reviewed at the assessment phase, conflicts surfaced before contract, and the work built to whichever standard applies to that scope element. Demising walls to landlord spec, interior tenant finish to tenant spec.
Can you coordinate the commercial plumber, electrician, and mechanical?
Yes. We hold the GC license and run a roster of commercial subs we work with regularly across Snohomish County. They run on our schedule and bill transparently in the project line items.
Do you do ground up commercial new construction?
No. We do not chase ground up commercial. Our lane is tenant improvement, light commercial remodel, storefront install, demising, and ADA upgrades.
How do you handle the tenant move in deadline?
Build the schedule backward from the deadline. Material lead times resolved at contract signing so storefront glass and commercial doors are staged on time. Weekly progress updates to tenant and landlord so nothing surprises anyone at the final walk.
