Five Steps to Add Value to Your Commercial Building

By January 30, 2013August 17th, 2022Contracting Tips

There are several investments that can raise the value of your commercial property by more than their cost, depending on market conditions and the quality of the improvements you perform. Whether you’re investing in commercial real estate or you are thinking about selling a commercial property of your own, it is important to get the best value for your property. At re:fab, with more than thirty years experience as a residential, industrial, and commercial painting company, we’ve worked with countless building owners that were looking to add value to their property for one reason or another. Based on our experience, we’ve compiled this list of “Five Steps to Add Value to Your Commercial Building” to get you started!

  1. Become Multi-Use: One of the best ways to increase the value of your commercial property is to make it more versatile. You can do this is many ways. For example, adding showrooms and offices to a property makes the space more attractive to a wider variety of potential users.
  2. Improve Land: Landscaping works to add value to commercial property the same way it does in the residential sector. By adding landscaping, water features, and other similar improvements, your property will become a more attractive place in which to work and, therefore, to own.
  3. Go Green: When updating your property, keep eco-friendliness in mind. This will not only keep your property relevant in today’s earth-conscious consumer market, but it will also lower overhead costs. Some of the popular options include energy-efficient appliances, solar panels, and energy conserving windows.
  4.  Security: Another upgrade that can add value to your commercial property is increasing security. Features such as alarm systems, gates and shutters can increase property value by making the property more attractive to tenants and you’re likely to lower your insurance premium as well.
  5. Aesthetics & Paint: Do some cleanup and updating to your property. Paint all the interior walls, especially if they haven’t been painted in a while. Consider the exterior paint scheme and how that reflects the personality of your business. Update or repair electrical fixtures as necessary to make the building look as modern as possible. Don’t forget the floors, too! EPOXY APPLICATIONS are a great way to add value and to protect surfaces.

A few other tips to remember: If you have existing tenants in your commercial property and you choose to update the property with any of these above steps, you can further increase the value and revenue of your property by raising the rent rate to compensate for the new additions. You will also want to request that the tax assessor re-evaluate your property value. Property valuations are often outdated and sometimes a simple reassessment can significantly lower your tax obligation, thus improving your bottom line and increasing your value.

When it comes time to make updates to your property our team at re:fab will be happy to assist you.

EIFS + Stucco


Commercial buildings and industrial facilities featuring exterior walls with an Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) have the attractiveness of a stucco finish but with greater insulation, toughness and longevity. In fact, unlike stucco, EIFS is actually a multi-layered system that includes insulation board, base coat and finish coat. It’s a combination that provides a classic look with modern advantages.

In addition to much-improved insulation, EIFS can improve indoor air quality and reduce the environmental impact of a structure throughout its lifetime, and it is available in a virtually unlimited range of colors and textures.

EIFS has transformed commercial buildings across all industries and our team of specialists can help you understand the benefits of this important application.
