J. Tyler was founded in Houston, Texas in 1982 to address the demand in the market for high quality office furnishings, installation, project management, and corporate furniture management services. They became one of the first independent installation companies to provide innovated professional services including formal training of systems installers, full time on-site services to major corporations, extensive warehousing and inventory management services, and aggressive project and product management. They rapidly grew to be the largest firm of their kind in the Houston market. By 1986 they had over 100 full time installers, completing such notable projects as Conoco's world headquarters ( 16 buildings ), restacked 25 floors of systems for Chevron and designed and implemented the first state-of-the-art bar code asset management/inventory system for Methodist Hospital's facilities. They continued to excel in servicing some of Houston's largest companies such as restacking 45 floors for Shell Oil, providing 31 floors of systems furnishings for City of Houston headquarters building and 10 floors of furnishings for Landry's Seafood Restaurants headquarters building.

Economic downturns, skyrocketing steel and fuel costs and challenging international competitive pressures negatively impacted manufacturers and commercial dealers all over the country. While most manufactures and dealer competitors downsized and experienced significant revenue loss
