Henley Contracting renovates offices, stores, clinics, plants and warehouses across Durham Region.

Commercial and industrial renovations in Durham Region

Older buildings across Durham, from downtown blocks to business-park offices and industrial plants, often need new layouts, updated systems or a fresh exterior. Each one comes with surprises: undersized electrical service, old ductwork, uneven floors or past changes that were never recorded.

We review the existing building first, so the scope and price reflect what is actually there.

01 / EXISTING CONDITIONS
Walls, ceilings, roof and services checked before pricing.
02 / PHASED WORK
Areas closed one at a time so the business keeps running.
03 / AFTER-HOURS WORK
Noisy or disruptive tasks scheduled when you are closed.
04 / ONE CONTRACTOR
Trades, permits and inspections managed for you.

Permits for a change of use

Turning a store into a clinic or a warehouse into a gym can change what the building code requires, from washrooms and exits to fire separations. The local municipality decides, so we confirm the requirements before the design is settled.

Budget where it matters

Renovation budgets go furthest on what customers and staff notice every day, such as entrances, lighting, washrooms and layout, and on building systems that are failing. We help you set priorities so the money goes where it makes the most difference.

Hazardous materials in older buildings

Buildings from before the 1990s may contain asbestos, lead paint or other materials that must be tested and handled properly before walls and ceilings are disturbed. We arrange testing early so the schedule and price account for it.

Phasing a larger renovation

Bigger buildings are often renovated in stages, one wing, floor or tenant unit at a time. A phased plan keeps rent coming in and lets the owner spread the cost, with each stage finished and inspected before the next begins.

We recently collaborated with Henley Contracting on a custom cottage build in the Kawartha Lakes area, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Their team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of the project met our exact specifications.

Communication was seamless throughout the process; they kept us informed at every stage and were always available to address any questions or concerns. The project was completed on schedule and within the agreed-upon budget, reflecting their commitment to reliability and efficiency.

The quality of workmanship exceeded our expectations, with meticulous craftsmanship evident in every facet of the build. The final result is a stunning cottage that not only meets but surpasses our vision.

We highly recommend Henley Contracting to anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled contractor for custom home or cottage construction. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction is truly commendable.

Ps. Thanks for the invite to your cottage this summer! Looking forward to it!

My project started before the pandemic. Work was about 30% complete and going well. The pandemic hit me a bit financially which stressed me out about the project. The Henley team helped reverse engineer and descope some of the project to suit my new affordability. They handled this with class and professionalism which im sure created extra work for them. Communication was excellent and finished product is fantastic. I will never work with or recommend another contractor again
