Transforming the Decks & Docks Showroom in Knoxville, TN
A well-designed showroom and office space is more than just walls and flooring—it’s the heart of how a business interacts with customers and supports its team. At Anchored Construction & Restoration, we know that first impressions matter, especially in commercial settings where design, functionality, and flow can directly impact sales and productivity.
Recently, our Knoxville-based construction team completed a full showroom and office remodel for Decks & Docks, a company known for supplying high-quality decking materials, dock supplies, and marine construction products. This project required careful planning, precise craftsmanship, and an added challenge: completing the entire remodel without requiring the business to close or stop daily operations.
Project Overview: Updating a Knoxville Showroom & Office
The existing showroom had served Decks & Docks for years, but it was time for an upgrade. Outdated finishes, worn flooring, and a layout that no longer reflected the company’s professional image were holding the space back.
The goals were clear:
-
Create a modern, inviting showroom to highlight Decks & Docks’ products.
-
Upgrade the office area to better support staff.
-
Improve durability and functionality of surfaces.
-
Carry out the remodel while allowing business operations to continue uninterrupted.
Step 1: Careful Demolition
Every remodel begins with demolition, and this project was no different. Our team fully demoed the existing showroom and office space, removing old walls, flooring, and finishes to make way for new construction.
Because the business remained open, we scheduled demo work in phases and took extra precautions to control dust and noise. Safe, efficient demolition ensured the project started on the right foot without disrupting daily sales.

Step 2: Installing New Drywall
Next came new drywall installation throughout the space. This provided a clean, smooth foundation for the updated wall finishes.
High-quality drywall work not only improves aesthetics but also strengthens sound control and durability in commercial spaces. Our Knoxville drywall experts ensured every seam, corner, and surface was perfectly finished, setting the stage for the polished look Decks & Docks wanted.
Step 3: Flooring Upgrade with Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Flooring is one of the most visible and high-traffic features in any showroom. For this project, Decks & Docks chose luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring—a perfect blend of style, durability, and low maintenance.
Benefits of LVP flooring for commercial remodels include:
-
Resistance to water and heavy foot traffic
-
A modern, professional look
-
Easy cleaning and long lifespan
To minimize disruption, we installed the flooring in sections, keeping customer access open while giving the space a seamless, upgraded finish.
Step 4: Fresh Wall Finishes & Design Details
Walls play a major role in shaping the look and feel of a commercial space. Our team applied new wall finishes that not only brightened the showroom but also reflected the professionalism of Decks & Docks’ brand.
Updated wall textures and finishes are a cost-effective way to dramatically transform a space, making it more welcoming for both customers and staff.
Step 5: Custom Sales Counter with Handmade Top
One of the standout features of this remodel is the custom sales counter we designed and built. Crafted with a handmade top, this counter immediately draws attention when customers walk in.
Unlike prefabricated options, a custom-built counter ensures the perfect fit and style for the space. It also serves as the centerpiece of the showroom, creating a professional first impression and giving staff a durable, functional workspace.
This is where our custom carpentry skills truly shine—offering businesses a unique feature that sets their showroom apart.
The Final Result
The transformation of the Decks & Docks showroom and office in Knoxville was nothing short of dramatic. The space now feels:
-
Modern and professional with updated finishes and flooring.
-
Functional and efficient with a layout designed for staff and customer flow.
-
Welcoming and polished with the custom-built counter as a focal point.
Most importantly, the project was completed without interrupting daily business operations. Staff continued serving customers while we worked, thanks to careful scheduling, phased construction, and attention to minimizing disruptions.
