Jair Professional Cleaning Services

Residential-to-Commercial Office Conversion

When Jair Professional Cleaning Services acquired a former residence in Vancouver, WA, they needed to transform it into a fully code-compliant commercial office. Swerhone Architecture stepped in to guide this Change of Occupancy project from start to finish, ensuring the space met all requirements for commercial use.

To comply with IBC, WSEC, and City of Vancouver standards, the remodel included a range of essential upgrades: an ADA-accessible entry, restroom enhancements, widened doorways, and modifications to the existing kitchenette. These improvements helped create a welcoming, functional, and inclusive workspace for staff and visitors alike.

Through strategic coordination with city officials, Derrick Swerhone was able to reduce the scope of required structural upgrades by proving the existing foundation met strength standards. This smart advocacy not only upheld code compliance but also delivered significant cost savings for the client.

As a client, I had the pleasure of working closely with Derrick on my business project, over the course of a year. Throughout this time he consistently demonstrated outstanding professionalism, expertise and creativity. I enthusiastically recommend Swerhone Architecture for any architectural opportunity.
