The Challenge: Aging Infrastructure and Evolving Business Needs
Since its original construction in 1972, the corporate headquarters of Jay Henges Enterprises had seen minimal interior renovation. The building, home to Henges Interiors Division, Henges Insulation, and Porta-King Building Systems, was showing signs of wear after decades of use. As the business continued to grow and evolve, it became clear that the existing office space no longer supported the company’s operational needs—especially the goal of improving interdepartmental collaboration.
In addition to outdated infrastructure, sections of the office located below grade revealed signs of past water damage and termite activity, further emphasizing the need for a comprehensive upgrade.
The Solution: A Thoughtful, Strategic Office Renovation
To revitalize the workspace and support future business growth, the Henges Interiors Division undertook a complete office renovation that addressed both structural issues and functional improvements.
The scope of work included:
Removal of aging drywall and insulation, including areas impacted by previous termite damage and water damage.
Cleaning and preparation of the original CMU block walls, followed by a spray foam insulation application to prevent future moisture intrusion—especially in below-grade areas.
Installation of new drywall throughout the space to create a clean, updated environment.
Restoration of the building’s original solid oak doors, which were reconditioned and reinstalled to preserve the character and quality of the original construction.
Rewiring of data and phone lines to support current and future personnel needs.
Assembly and installation of new office furnishings to improve comfort, functionality, and aesthetics for staff.
Key Benefits:
Modernized Infrastructure: The renovation addressed critical issues tied to the building’s age and below-grade construction, improving both durability and comfort.
Enhanced Functionality: Updated wiring and furnishings make the space better suited for today’s workforce and allow for continued growth.
Preserved Value: Restoring original architectural elements, such as the solid oak doors, retained the character of the building while giving it a refreshed look.
Improved Collaboration: The redesigned layout and shared workspaces foster stronger interdepartmental communication, which is key to ongoing business success.
Results: A Renewed Space That Honors the Past and Supports the Future
Through careful planning and execution, Henges Interiors delivered a revitalized corporate office that aligns with Jay Henges Enterprises’ growth, values, and evolving business structure. The finished space balances form and function, honoring the history of the original building while providing a modern, efficient environment for the teams that call it home.
