Commercial Construction Division
Restaurants. Offices. Retail. Multi-tenant. Healthcare. The same fireman-grade construction standards that built our residential reputation — applied to the spaces that grow your business.
Off Duty Fireman Construction is your top source for commercial construction, renovation, and disaster recovery in Asheville and Western NC. Whether you're opening a new restaurant, fitting out an office, refreshing a retail space, or recovering from a fire or flood — we handle every phase under one licensed roof.
Our commercial division knows what business owners actually need: speed, transparency, and the kind of code-compliant work that passes inspection the first time. We get you open. We keep you open.

Why Business Owners Hire Us
Speed Matters
Every day you're not open costs revenue. We schedule realistically and hit our dates — or we tell you why before they slip.
Transparent Estimates
Fixed-scope line-item pricing before we start. No mystery change orders mid-build.
Code & Safety First
Started by firemen. We know building codes — and the cost of cutting corners. Inspections pass the first time.
Buildertrend Updates
Daily photo updates, schedule visibility, and message threads — so absentee owners always know where things stand.
Veteran-Owned
Service-disabled veteran ownership. Quotes for government contracts and qualifying VOSB set-asides welcome.
One Point of Contact
Talk to the owner. Always. No project-manager telephone game.

Commercial Disaster Recovery
After fire, water, smoke, or storm damage, every hour your business is closed compounds the loss. Off Duty Fireman Construction's restoration division responds 24/7. We board up, dry out, work with your insurance adjuster, and rebuild the property back to operational condition — faster than you'd think possible. Founded by firefighters who've stood in plenty of damaged businesses, we know the difference between "patched" and "restored." Learn about our Restoration Division →
