Commercial fit-outs
Retail, office and medical suites. We work to the landlord's schedule and the tenant's opening date, and we hand back a floor that's ready for inspection.

Tile, floors and baths built for Lebanon, NJ
Lebanon sits where Route 22 meets I-78, which makes it a fit-out town. We install commercial floors around a tenant's opening date, not around ours.

Who installs commercial flooring in Lebanon, NJ?
DeMarco Flooring, Tile & Renovations installs commercial and residential flooring in Lebanon, NJ (08833) and throughout Hunterdon County. For commercial work we handle retail, office and medical tenant fit-outs: commercial-grade luxury vinyl plank, porcelain entries and vestibules, and the transitions and thresholds that decide whether a floor passes inspection. We work nights and weekends where a business can't afford to close, and we coordinate with the landlord, the general contractor and the tenant so the floor isn't the reason an opening date slips. We also do residential work in Lebanon — same crew, same standards. Estimates are free and there's never a travel charge.
Lebanon Borough is small, but its position on the Route 22 and I-78 interchange means a steady turnover of retail and office suites, and turnover means fit-outs on a clock. A commercial floor is a different problem from a residential one: the wear layer has to survive rolling loads and grit, the entry has to handle everything Route 22 tracks in during a February thaw, and the whole thing usually has to happen between a lease signing and an announced opening date. The tile and plank are the easy part. The scheduling is the job.

What we install for local businesses
Commercial-grade LVP
20-mil and heavier wear layers rated for rolling loads and foot traffic that would chew through a residential plank in a season.
Entry & vestibule tile
The first six feet take the salt, the rain and the hand trucks. Porcelain, proper slope to the door, and a transition that won't trip anyone.
Off-hours installation
Nights and weekends when a business can't close. We stage material so the space is usable each morning, even mid-install.
Commercial repairs
Failed transitions, lifted plank, cracked entry tile. Patched in sections so you don't shut the whole floor down.
Homes in the same town
The commercial crew is the residential crew. Same tile setters, same standards, whether it's a storefront or a primary bath.

What's different about working on a Lebanon home
What wear layer does a commercial floor actually need?
For most retail and office fit-outs in Lebanon we specify a 20-mil wear layer or heavier, not the 6 to 12 mil that's standard on residential plank. The difference is not marketing: a residential wear layer under rolling carts, chair casters and winter grit off Route 22 will show traffic lanes inside a season. For medical or high-traffic retail we go heavier still, and we check the manufacturer's commercial warranty terms before specifying, because installing a residential-rated product in a commercial space voids it.
Why does the entry vestibule get treated differently?
Because the first six feet inside the door absorb the salt, slush and grit from the parking lot, and that's where floors fail first. In this Lebanon fit-out the vestibule is large-format porcelain rather than plank, pitched correctly to the door and separated from the main floor by a flush transition. Porcelain shrugs off ice melt that would blister a plank seam, and a proper transition means nothing lifts when a hand truck rolls over it a hundred times a day.
Can you install after hours so we don't have to close?
Yes, and for an occupied business it's usually the right answer. We work nights and weekends, section the space so each area is walkable by opening, and stage material off the sales floor. It costs more in labour hours than a straight daytime install, but for a business on Route 22 that number is almost always smaller than the revenue lost to a week of being closed.

Job log
Recent work in Lebanon
Retail fit-out, plank floor and porcelain entry
A full commercial fit-out: wide-plank luxury vinyl through the main floor, run lengthwise so the planks draw the eye from the storefront to the back of the space rather than cutting across it, and large-format grey stone-look porcelain in the entry vestibule where the traffic comes in off the lot. The transition between the two sits flush, so nothing catches a hand truck. Photographed on the final clean-down, before the tenant took possession.
Questions
Permits, timelines and the things people ask on the first call
Do you do commercial flooring in Lebanon, NJ?
Yes. We install commercial-grade luxury vinyl plank, porcelain entries and vestibules, and tile for retail, office and medical tenant fit-outs in Lebanon and across Hunterdon County. We work with landlords, general contractors and tenants directly, and we schedule around opening dates including nights and weekends.
Do I need a permit for a commercial fit-out in Lebanon?
Flooring alone usually does not require a permit, but the wider fit-out generally does. Lebanon Borough enforces the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, and any plumbing, electrical, structural or egress work in a commercial space is permitted and inspected. If we're working as part of a larger fit-out, we coordinate with whoever holds the permit rather than working around them.
How fast can you turn around a retail space?
For an open space with a sound, level slab, a straightforward plank installation moves quickly — the schedule is usually set by slab prep and moisture testing, not by the flooring itself. We test the slab before quoting, because a concrete slab that hasn't finished curing or is passing moisture will fail a glue-down or trap it under a floating floor. Getting that reading early is what keeps a fit-out on schedule.
Do you work on homes in Lebanon too?
Yes. The commercial crew is the residential crew. We do bathrooms, kitchens, tile and flooring in Lebanon Borough homes with the same people and the same standards, and there is no travel charge either way.
Do you charge extra to travel to Lebanon?
No. We never charge for travel time or mileage, to Lebanon or anywhere else on our route. The estimate is free too, and it's done in person: we don't quote flooring off a phone call, because the subfloor is the part that decides the price.
Do you have a showroom I can visit?
No — we run out of a home office in Bloomsbury and there's nothing to walk through there. We bring the showroom to you instead: samples come to your building, so you're choosing tile and plank in the actual room, under your own light, next to your cabinets and trim. If you'd rather meet at your office, that works too.
Are you licensed and insured to work in New Jersey?
Yes. DeMarco Flooring, Tile & Renovations is a fully insured New Jersey home improvement contractor. We'll provide our NJ HIC registration number and a current certificate of insurance with your written estimate — ask any contractor for both before work starts.
We'll come walk the room with you
Free estimate, usually within a week. We measure, check the subfloor, bring samples to look at in the room itself, and send a written number — no travel charge, no deposit to get a quote.
