A Guide to Outdoor Commercial Renovations
When people visit your business, their experience starts before they walk through the door. The pathway they follow, the outdoor lighting that guides them, or the patio they sit on all affect how they feel about your brand. That’s why investing in outdoor renovations is important, so you can create spaces that feel welcoming and memorable. Big Timber can help you build spaces that look beautiful, perform well, and stand the test of time.
What Is an Outdoor Commercial Renovation?
An outdoor commercial renovation focuses on improving the exterior areas of a business or property, like patios, courtyards, walkways, and community spaces.
Businesses take on these projects for a lot of reasons, like:
- Giving an older property a more modern, professional look
- Creating outdoor areas that feel comfortable and inviting for customers or employees
- Making spaces safer, easier to navigate, or more accessible
- Reflecting a refreshed brand identity or new direction
These updates can be as small as adding new lighting or as large as a full redesign of your outdoor layout. Either way, the goal stays the same: increase property value, attract more visitors, and make your space one people genuinely enjoy being in.
Types of Outdoor Commercial Renovations
Every business has its own needs and character, which means no two outdoor renovations are exactly alike. Here are a few ways Big Timber’s timber-frame structures can help elevate your property’s look and function:
Outdoor Dining Areas
Outdoor dining is a major draw for restaurants and cafés. Adding a custom pergola or pavilion creates a comfortable, shaded place for guests to gather and enjoy a meal in any weather. With the right touches (e.g., string lights, outdoor heaters, and durable furniture), your patio can feel just as inviting as your indoor space and stay busy well into the evening.
Employee Break Spaces
A classic pavilion like the Huntington or Laguna can turn an unused corner into a quiet retreat where employees can eat lunch or just get some fresh air. Adding a few simple details like greenery, benches, or shade screens makes it a spot people actually look forward to using.
Event and Gathering Spaces
Whether it’s a brewery hosting live music or a weekend farmer’s market, Big Timber’s architectural pavilions provide the structure and style these spaces need. Their wide, timber-frame designs create a space where people naturally gather and enjoy being together, no matter the season.
Grill and Outdoor Cooking Areas
For community properties like condos and apartment complexes, Big Timber's wood grill gazebos are a standout upgrade. These solid-wood structures protect your grill and cooking space from the elements while providing built-in shelving, ventilation, and storage. They’re perfect for resident BBQ areas or any shared outdoor setting where people come together over food.
