HBA Member & A+ BBB Rating
Integra Built is a Salem-based, owner-operated construction company. We’ve served commercial property owners across the Willamette Valley and Central Oregon since 2010. Our work covers storefront renovation: facade systems, glazing, ADA entry corrections, awnings, and exterior improvements.
We work with retail tenants, property managers, restaurant owners, medical offices, and owners of mixed-use buildings. They need the job completed correctly, within a clear timeline, and without any scope creep.
One project lead. Defined scope. No handoffs.
Oregon Storefront Projects Carry Regulatory Obligations Most Contractors Find Mid-Permit
Most storefront projects in Oregon carry obligations that are not visible until someone looks for them.
Oregon’s 25% assessed-value threshold (ORS 447.241) triggers path-of-travel ADA upgrades to the route serving your space. (Federal ADA uses 20%.) We calculate this at the estimate stage so that the approved scope reflects actual requirements.
There’s a whole science behind how a building’s shell works. The Willamette Valley runs a wet season from November through March, with about 40 inches of annual rainfall in Salem. Correctly specified glazing sealants and facade drainage planes perform differently here. Systems built for drier climates fail faster in the Willamette Valley wet season.
In Central Oregon, the challenge shifts. Freeze-thaw cycling at Bend’s 3,600-foot elevation stresses sealant joints and canopy connections. Structural canopy work requires engineer-stamped drawings. Salem and Bend each carry design review rules before permits are issued. These are timelines we account for before the estimate is signed.
Signs Your Storefront May Need Renovation
Most storefront projects start with a symptom, not a plan. These are the conditions that typically bring commercial owners to us:
- Fogged or cloudy glass panels that are no longer clear
- Visible sealant failure, gaps, or water intrusion around the frame
- Drafts, condensation, or thermal loss at entry and glazing areas
- Entry systems that no longer meet ADA threshold or door-force rules
- Canopy or awning connections showing rust, separation, or movement
- Facade surfaces with cracking, staining, or failed coating
- A remodel trigger that puts you at or near the 25% assessed-value threshold
If one or more of these apply, the scope question becomes: repair the component, replace the system, or address the full facade. Not sure yet? The sections below can help you decide which scope makes sense for your property.
Storefront Renovation Services Across the Willamette Valley & Central Oregon
Facade Refresh & Exterior Cladding
Exterior paint, flexible coating, fiber cement panel, ACM panel, EIFS systems, and masonry repair. Most common in Salem: brick and stucco buildings on Commercial Street and State Street. They need weatherproofing and visual repositioning without structural changes.
Glazing & Entry System Replacement
Thermally broken aluminum storefront framing, Low-E insulated glass unit replacement, commercial door systems, and panic hardware.
The most common trigger: end-of-life glazing on Keizer’s River Road North retail strips and Bend’s Highway 97 corridor. Those 1980s and 1990s single-pane systems have failed thermally and aesthetically.
ADA Entry Corrections & Path-of-Travel Compliance
Threshold corrections, accessible ramp work, landing dimensions, and door closer adjustment. Triggered either by Oregon’s assessed-value rules or active code enforcement. Both Salem and Bend commercial zones have enforcement programs. We identify which applies to your property before permits are submitted.
Awnings & Canopy Installation
Commercial-grade fabric awnings and fixed steel or aluminum canopies. Up to 75 psf ground snow loads at Sisters/La Pine elevations. The region also carries seismic loading rules that the Willamette Valley does not. All Central Oregon canopy work requires engineer-stamped structural drawings.
Exterior Lighting & Signage Infrastructure
Egress and accent lighting to the Oregon commercial energy code rules. Signage backing and mounting framework coordinated for your sign fabricator. We build the structural backing your signage mounts to—correctly placed and properly anchored.
Masonry Repair & Weatherproofing
Tuckpointing, flexible coating, and penetrating sealant for brick and CMU commercial facades. Properties within Salem’s Historic District require material review before surface treatment. We handle that work as part of the permit process.
Storefront Repair, Replacement, or Full Renovation?
The right scope depends on what has failed and whether a permit is needed.
Repair covers single failures: a fogged glass unit, a failed seal, or a worn door closer. It works when the rest of the system is sound.
Replacement is for systems at the end of life. Old frames, worn hardware, and failed entry systems go out as a unit. Glass, frame, and hardware are linked.
Full renovation covers the whole facade. Common triggers: a lease renewal, a rebrand, or a scope that crosses the ADA permit line.
We confirm which applies at the estimate stage.
Commercial Renovation Services in Salem, Bend, and Every Community Between Them
Commercial projects are shaped by local conditions, access needs, and how properties are used day to day. Work in city centers differs from work in mixed-use areas or business parks. Conditions in the Willamette Valley also differ from those in Central Oregon. Planning around these regional factors is part of responsible commercial construction.

Storefront Projects Built for Oregon Conditions, Not Templates
These projects reflect active commercial work across Salem, Keizer, Bend, and surrounding communities. Each was planned around local permitting, site conditions, and operational timelines.
Integra Built Has Operated Under the Same Ownership in These Markets Since 2010
Integra Built Salem LLC has operated under the same ownership in Oregon since 2010. We hold an active CCB license (#234-156), BBB A+ accreditation, and verified contractor profiles on HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, and BuildZoom.
We are active members of the Home Builders Association (HBA) of Marion and Polk Counties and the Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce. Our crews know the Deschutes County building codes and the design rules for Central Oregon resort communities. In the Willamette Valley, that same knowledge extends to Marion County permits and Salem commercial corridor conditions.
Most of our commercial work comes from referrals and repeat clients in the same corridors and neighborhoods, year after year.
We operate from two established Oregon locations:
- Salem headquarters serving the Willamette Valley: 16325 SE Unionvale Rd, Dayton, OR 97114
- Central Oregon base serving Bend and surrounding communities: 16771 Elk Court, La Pine, OR 97739

Three Steps from Signed Estimate to Certificate of Occupancy
1.
Scope Definition and Permit Strategy
We assess existing conditions, calculate your ADA threshold, and submit a complete permit package to the applicable jurisdiction. No incomplete applications. No avoidable delays.
2.
Build with Owner-Led Oversight
The owner coordinates crews, inspections, and material delivery. We manage utility locates, required material testing, and inspections from start to finish. When possible, we sequence work to keep your entry open during construction. Before work starts, we plan pedestrian routes, temporary access, and inspection staging to ensure a smooth process.
3.
Final Walkthrough and Warranty Delivery
We walk the completed work with you, resolve every punch-list item, and deliver your permit card and 1-year workmanship warranty before we close the project.

FAQs
Not always. Structural engineering is needed when work affects load-bearing elements. This includes steel canopies, large glazing spans, or facade attachments. In Central Oregon, seismic rules under ASCE 7 often require engineer-stamped drawings for canopies or heavy facade panels. Simpler projects, like paint, cladding repair, or glazing replacement, usually don’t need an engineering review.
A storefront system is a ground-level aluminum framing assembly designed for smaller spans, typically one or two stories. Curtain wall systems are engineered for multi-story buildings and carry wind-load engineering requirements. In Salem and Bend, most renovations to retail, restaurant, and office storefronts use aluminum framing rather than full curtain wall assemblies.
Aluminum storefront systems typically last 20–30 years with proper maintenance. Sealant joints, IGU seals, and hardware fail first. In the Willamette Valley, moisture exposure speeds up sealant wear. In Central Oregon, freeze-thaw cycling stresses glazing seals and canopy connections sooner.
Yes, if the project is planned correctly. Work is often phased so one entry remains operational while another section is renovated. Temporary doors, pedestrian routing, and off-hour construction schedules help reduce disruption. Inspection timing and permit staging also affect whether a business can remain open during the renovation.
Inspection requirements depend on the project scope. Common inspections are:
- Framing checks for facade attachment points.
- ADA compliance checks for entry systems.
- Final inspections before permit closure.
If structural elements or canopy installations are involved, additional inspections may occur. Each jurisdiction—Salem, Bend, or Marion County—sets its own inspection sequence.
