Knollmeyer Building Corp is a trusted Cambridge exterior contractor specializing in the renovation of storefronts and commercial façades, transforming them into solid, visually striking, and fully code-compliant buildings. 

We understand the vital role your building’s exterior plays in attracting customers and maintaining a consistent identity. 

Whether you’re renovating a Massachusetts Avenue boutique, repositioning a restaurant on a busy corner, or adding a modern façade to a high-traffic mixed-use development, we provide custom exterior solutions that balance aesthetics and structural integrity. 

With decades of experience in masonry, cladding, and architectural detailing, our team reshapes your retail frontage to meet both aesthetic aspirations and regulatory standards. We collaborate closely with clients to boost curb appeal and long-term value through smart, code-compliant design. 

 

Give Your Exterior the Remodeling It Deserves 

In Cambridge’s competitive retail market, your building’s exterior is more than a shell—it’s the first impression. Peeling paint, outdated signage, or aging siding can quietly deter customers before they ever reach your door. 

Knollmeyer partners with property owners, developers, and tenants to deliver remodeling solutions that reflect your brand image and elevate your business presence. 

From modern updates and historic restorations to total exterior makeovers, we use premium materials designed to last through New England’s challenging climate. Our services include: 

  • Façade redesigns and glazing 
  • Custom signage integration 
  • Code-compliant upgrades and inspections
