Business Continuity First

Commercial Losses Are Business Problems

A water loss in a commercial building is never just a water loss. It is payroll that still has to run, tenants who need access to their suites, customers who are coming through the door in four hours, inventory that was sitting on the saturated subfloor, a phone system that lost power, and a property manager who has to report to a corporate risk desk by end of day. Every commercial restoration decision trades against business impact. The restoration company that understands that — and the company that does not — are two very different vendors.

Patriot Building Solutions has been serving commercial accounts across the Twin Cities metro since day one. Our original line of business is commercial cleaning — office buildings, car dealerships, multi-tenant retail, medical offices, and HOA common areas — which means we come to restoration work with an operator’s eye for facility rhythm. We know why the sales floor cannot close on a Saturday afternoon, why the dental office needs the waiting room dry before the first Monday appointment, and why a warehouse cannot lose its loading-dock throughput even for a day. That operator’s perspective shapes every commercial restoration scope we write.

Owner Israel Martinez is a Marine Corps veteran (1995-2002) with HAZMAT, First Responder, and Six Sigma certifications. Our crews train to IICRC protocols for water (S500), mold (S520), and fire and smoke (S700), and follow Minnesota Department of Health and EPA guidelines on every contaminated job. We document every scope to adjuster standards, coordinate with property managers and risk desks, and hold commercial-grade insurance and workers comp on every crew.

Commercial Scope

What Commercial Restoration Actually Includes

Emergency Stabilization

Shut off water sources, cut power to affected areas, emergency board-up and tarping, temporary climate control, and containment around affected zones. The first hours of a commercial loss decide how much of the building stays operational tomorrow. We arrive inside our 60 to 90 minute dispatch window with a full emergency response kit.

Containment & Isolation

Physical barriers around damaged zones, HVAC isolation to keep contamination out of operating areas, and traffic flow planning so customers, employees, and contractors route around active work. Containment is how we keep the rest of the building open during restoration.

Water & Structural Drying

Commercial-grade truck-mount extraction, desiccant dehumidification for large-volume losses, and air-mover deployment calibrated to the square footage and material mix of your space. Daily moisture readings and drying logs documented per IICRC S500. See water damage restoration for residential-equivalent work.

Fire, Smoke & Odor

Soot and char cleanup on commercial-scale surfaces, HVAC decontamination across multi-zone systems, smoke odor neutralization through every affected area, and content cleaning or pack-out. See fire restoration for the full scope we bring to commercial fire losses.

Content Pack-Out

When damage is extensive, we pack contents out to a controlled off-site facility for cleaning, inventory, and temporary storage. Each item is tagged, photographed, and logged. Electronics receive specialized cleaning, paper records receive drying treatment where salvageable, and soft goods are laundered with smoke or water-specific chemistry.

Mold & Indoor Air

Minnesota’s humid summers and ice-dam winters make mold a frequent commercial restoration concern. Containment, HEPA air scrubbing, removal of affected materials, and post-remediation verification by an independent industrial hygienist when scope warrants it. See mold remediation for the residential equivalent.

Property Types We Serve

Twin Cities Commercial Verticals

Office Buildings & Multi-Tenant. Professional service offices, law firms, accounting practices, and multi-tenant commercial buildings across downtown Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the suburban business parks in Edina, Bloomington, Eagan, and Maple Grove. We coordinate with property managers on tenant communications, parking closures, and after-hours work windows.

Retail & Restaurants. Storefronts, strip centers, anchor retail, restaurants, bars, and hospitality locations. Retail restoration almost always runs against the retailer’s seasonal calendar — holiday season, back-to-school, spring opening — and we structure scopes around those deadlines whenever the damage allows.

Medical, Dental & Veterinary. Healthcare environments require the highest standards of cleanliness and documentation. We work with OSHA and HIPAA considerations in mind, coordinate with infection-control protocols, and provide the documentation your compliance program requires. Our day-porter and commercial cleaning experience in medical settings gives us operational familiarity with these spaces.

Warehouses & Manufacturing. Large-square-footage facilities with specialized equipment, inventory, and production timelines. Warehouse water and fire losses involve inventory assessment, specialized drying for bulk stored goods, and coordination with OSHA for contaminated environments. We have the crew size and equipment inventory to handle warehouse-scale losses.

Multi-Family & HOAs. Apartment complexes, condo associations, and townhome HOAs across the Twin Cities metro. Multi-family restoration involves simultaneous communication with building managers, affected residents, and carriers. We keep hallways, elevators, and shared amenities safe and accessible throughout the work.

Places of Worship & Nonprofits. Churches, community centers, and nonprofit facilities often run on tight budgets with limited operational slack. We work with nonprofit finance teams and adjusters to get the most covered work into the claim scope while protecting the integrity of the space for the congregation or community it serves.

Frequently Asked

Commercial Restoration FAQs

What makes commercial restoration different from residential?

Commercial restoration is scaled up on every dimension: larger square footage, higher-capacity drying and cleaning equipment, more complex documentation for property managers and corporate insurance, and the constant business-continuity pressure of keeping operations running during restoration. We stage equipment to isolate damaged areas, build containment around operating zones, and schedule demolition and reconstruction around business hours whenever the damage permits. The goal is not just restoration — it is restoration without shutting you down.

How do you coordinate with commercial insurance adjusters?

Commercial claims involve property managers, risk managers, corporate finance, and usually multiple adjusters (property, business interruption, and sometimes environmental). We document every scope with moisture maps, atmospheric readings, daily progress logs, itemized line items written to Xactimate or comparable standards, and photo documentation keyed to the scope. We attend scope-review meetings with adjusters on site, provide supplemental documentation promptly when hidden damage is uncovered, and maintain a single point of contact through the life of the claim.

Can you restore a property without shutting down operations?

Often, yes. Damage that is localized to a specific zone, floor, or wing can usually be contained with physical barriers, temporary HVAC isolation, and after-hours scheduling. We have kept retail sales floors, restaurant dining rooms, and medical office exam rooms operational through nearby restoration work. Larger losses affecting the core of the operation sometimes require temporary relocation or phased work. We will tell you honestly during the initial assessment which approach is realistic for your specific situation.

What kinds of commercial properties do you restore?

Office buildings, retail centers, restaurants, dealerships, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, medical and dental offices, veterinary clinics, multi-family apartment complexes, and places of worship. We also serve property-management portfolios across the Twin Cities metro. Our original commercial cleaning business line gives us deep familiarity with operational rhythms — we understand why the sales floor cannot close during peak season and how to work around it.

Do you handle large-loss commercial restoration?

Yes. Large-loss commercial work involves bigger equipment deployments, more crew, content pack-out to off-site storage facilities, longer documentation packages, and longer-horizon project management. We coordinate with structural engineers, environmental consultants, industrial hygienists, and licensed contractors as the scope demands. Our veteran-owned operations model and Six Sigma process discipline translate directly into the kind of project-management rigor that large-loss work requires.

Can we set up a preferred-vendor relationship before a loss happens?

Yes, and we recommend it. A pre-established emergency response agreement gets you priority dispatch during regional events (derechos, widespread winter freezes, tornado outbreaks) when demand spikes. It also lets us walk your facility in advance, understand your operational constraints and insurance program, and pre-build containment plans for the most likely loss scenarios. Contact us to discuss a commercial emergency response plan.
