Office & Tenant Improvement Flooring in the Twin Cities
The tenant signed a lease with a 6-week TI window and occupancy starts the day it closes. The GC needs flooring installed on three floors of an occupied building without disrupting the tenants above and below. The building owner is converting a 1970s warehouse into Class A office space and the original slab has 40 years of adhesive, oil stains, and moisture issues. These are the constraints that drive office and tenant improvement flooring — and they are the constraints ATR Floors has been solving for 30 years across the Twin Cities.

Why Office & TI Buyers Choose ATR
Office tenants file complaints about construction noise, adhesive odor, and dust. The Clean Slate Process eliminates the root cause: no grinding (no noise), biodegradable chemistry (no toxic fumes), dust-free profiling (no airborne particulate). Low-VOC adhesives for all occupied-space installations.
Phased Installation Around Occupied Floors
An office building with three tenants on five floors cannot shut down for flooring. We phase by floor, by wing, or by zone — working around lease schedules, after-hours, and weekends so occupied tenants see zero disruption.
After-Hours & Weekend Schedules
Carpet tile, LVT, and polished concrete can be executed entirely outside business hours, with floors walkable by the time the first employees arrive Monday morning.
Speed-to-Occupancy on TI Deadlines
TI timelines are measured in weeks, not months. We staff to meet daily square-footage targets, coordinate with the GC's punch-list sequence, and compress the schedule where substrate conditions allow.
Adaptive Reuse Expertise
Warehouse-to-office and retail-to-office conversions. The Clean Slate Process strips legacy materials chemically, profiles dust-free, mitigates moisture, and brings a 50-year-old slab to the flatness tolerance LVT and large-format tile demand.
Material Range for Modern Office Design
Carpet tile (the dominant office material), polished concrete (increasingly specified in open-plan and creative office), LVT (break rooms, corridors), and tile (bathrooms, kitchens, lobbies) — all under one contract.
Moisture Testing on Slab-on-Grade
Ground-floor and basement-level office spaces frequently exceed RH thresholds. We test every slab per ASTM F2170 before installation and apply moisture mitigation when needed — preventing the failures that surface 6–18 months later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We phase by floor or by zone, working after-hours and on weekends when needed. The Clean Slate Process eliminates dust, toxic fumes, and excessive noise — the three primary sources of tenant complaints during construction. Low-VOC adhesives keep indoor air quality within acceptable limits throughout.
It depends on square footage, material, and substrate conditions. A 10,000 sq ft carpet tile installation on a prepared substrate can be completed in 3-5 days. A full adaptive reuse project with substrate restoration, moisture mitigation, and finished flooring takes 2-4 weeks depending on scope.
Yes. Tear-out, disposal, and hazmat-suspect material handling are included in our standard scope. We use chemical removal (DeBOND and UnGLUED) for legacy adhesives and coatings rather than mechanical grinding — reducing dust, noise, and hazmat risk.
Yes. We have restored substrates in Twin Cities warehouses, light industrial buildings, and retail spaces being converted to office use. The Clean Slate Process is purpose-built for legacy substrates with decades of adhesive, coating, and contamination history.
ATR Floors is 100% woman-owned and qualifies for WBE supplier diversity programs. Many corporate tenants and building owners maintain diversity spending requirements — we can provide the documentation your procurement or facilities team requires.
