Renovating a commercial kitchen isn’t just about swapping out appliances or installing new tile. It’s about rebuilding the core of your business, without shutting it down, falling out of code, or blowing your budget.
At Miko LLC, we offer full-service commercial kitchen remodeling for restaurants, hospitality groups, schools, healthcare, and institutional kitchens across Phoenix and the surrounding region. From simple line upgrades to full-scale renovations, we understand what it takes to bring a kitchen up to modern standards while keeping your business running smoothly.
Commercial Kitchen Construction Takes Expertise
A commercial kitchen isn’t just a room with appliances, it’s a high-performance, high-risk environment subject to some of the strictest codes in the construction world. Between fire safety, health regulations, ventilation, and plumbing systems, there’s no margin for error. One overlooked spec can delay inspections, fail compliance, or risk lives.
Miko LLC understands the unique requirements of kitchens in restaurants, schools, hotels, and healthcare facilities, and we’re equipped to deliver projects that align with industry standards and local regulations. We design around real-world workflows, code requirements, and safety from the start.
Commercial kitchens aren’t like other interior construction jobs. They require coordination with multiple agencies and pass-through inspections at nearly every phase. From grease duct fire ratings to walk-in cooler requirements, your contractor needs to know every layer of code, and how to build to it the first time.
We handle the complex stuff that others miss:
We also coordinate with your chef, kitchen manager, or operations lead to make sure the layout supports daily flow – not just codebooks.
At Miko LLC, we provide commercial kitchen remodeling solutions that prioritize functionality, efficiency, and compliance from day one. With a design-build approach that unites planning, design, and construction under one roof, you have a single accountable partner throughout the project. Our team navigates permits, coordinates trades, manages schedules, and ensures that ventilation, safety systems, and layouts align with operational and regulatory standards. Whether it’s refreshing an outdated space, converting an existing facility, or supporting a new food concept, we deliver a streamlined process and a kitchen designed to perform.
Our Services Include:
1
We start by understanding your property, your timeline, and your investment goals. Whether you’re flipping units between tenants or planning a full reposition, we build a clear roadmap upfront so you know what’s coming and when.
2
As a full-service design-build firm, Miko LLC leads the planning and design process from the start. Our team develops functional layouts, selects finishes, and prepares construction-ready plans that align with your business needs and goals.
3
Our team manages the permitting process, coordinates inspections, and handles the scheduling and procurement of materials. We ensure that everything is in place before construction begins to avoid delays.
4
From demolition and structural work to interior finishes and equipment coordination, we manage every aspect of construction. We keep the project moving, maintain a clean job site, and communicate regularly to keep you informed.
5
Once construction is complete, we conduct a detailed walkthrough to confirm every element meets expectations. After final inspections, we hand over a space that is fully ready for occupancy and operations.
Restaurant Kitchen Construction
A restaurant kitchen has to perform fast, safe, and compliant from day one. At Miko LLC, we build restaurant kitchens that are tailored to the way your team works. From compact prep kitchens to full-scale back-of-house operations, we coordinate with owners, chefs, and inspectors to deliver kitchens that function under pressure.
Our team oversees every critical aspect: ventilation, fire safety, workflow design, equipment layout, and code compliance, delivering projects on schedule and with clear communication, whether in a new build or within an existing structure.
Institutional and Healthcare Kitchens
Facilities like hospitals, schools, and senior living centers need kitchens that do more than cook. They must meet health codes, allow for efficient high-volume service, and ensure accessibility and safety for all staff. These projects are complex, and that’s where Miko LLC stands out.
We’ve delivered institutional kitchen builds across Arizona, working closely with facility managers and code authorities to meet strict regulatory, logistical, and operational requirements. From walk-in refrigeration to dishwashing flow zones, every detail is mapped and built to spec.
Commercial kitchens live or die by inspections. One misstep on fire suppression or health code compliance can delay your opening or shut you down altogether. Miko LLC builds to code from day one, not after a failed walkthrough.
We install Type I and Type II hoods, fire-rated ductwork, and pre-engineered suppression systems that meet NFPA 96 and local fire marshal specs. Our team also ensures food-safe surfaces, hand-wash stations, and washable wall systems are exactly where they need to be. No shortcuts. No rework. Just clean approvals.
Opening a new restaurant or café in a leased space? You need a TI contractor who understands kitchen-specific challenges — grease trap placement, existing utility upgrades, ceiling height restrictions, and sound abatement.
We work with property managers and tenants alike to retrofit kitchens into retail shells, office parks, or other non-kitchen-ready environments. Our background in tenant improvements has prepared us to adapt quickly when unexpected conditions arise during construction.
Absolutely. A modern, code-compliant commercial kitchen doesn’t just improve operations – it increases long-term business value, reduces liability, and strengthens brand perception. Whether you’re expanding an existing concept or launching a new one, your kitchen is the heart of the operation. A well-designed kitchen boosts efficiency, reduces employee turnover, and ensures better health inspection outcomes.
More importantly, renovated kitchens can directly impact your lease value, sale potential, and operational uptime. We’ve seen restaurants go from failing health grades to full capacity bookings after a proper kitchen overhaul.
Yes. Miko LLC provides full-service construction and remodeling for commercial kitchens in restaurants, hospitality, healthcare, and institutional facilities. Whether it’s a ground-up build or a renovation inside an existing space, we bring the expertise to handle it all.
Absolutely. We build to meet all local and national codes, including health department, fire marshal, ADA, and NSF standards. We install compliant exhaust systems, fire suppression, washable wall systems, and food-safe surfaces that pass inspections the first time.

Every project is different, but most full remodels range from 4 to 12 weeks depending on size, complexity, permitting, and whether the space is currently in use. We build detailed schedules up front and keep our clients informed every step of the way.
We offer both. Our design-build services include layout planning, equipment coordination, and value engineering. We also collaborate with outside architects or foodservice consultants if you already have a team in place.
In many cases, yes. We work with owners and managers to phase work strategically or schedule construction during planned closures. Temporary kitchens or service reroutes may also be possible, depending on the site.
Yes. We provide TI build-outs for leased spaces that require custom kitchen construction, utility rework, soundproofing, and more. We coordinate closely with landlords and tenants to keep everything compliant and on schedule.
