Our culture

Nice to meet you. We're the family behind Henry's Improvements.

Since 2016 we've been fixing, building and remodeling homes across New Jersey. Almost all of our work comes from referrals, which means one thing matters more than anything else: how we treat you and your home.

How it started

A simple rule that turned into a company

Enrique Ayala started with one rule: do every job the way you'd want it done in your own house. That rule became our slogan, and it still decides how we work today.

Enrique still leads the crews in the field. Javier runs the office. So when you call us, you're talking to the people who own the company, not a call center.

  1. 2016Enrique starts the business in Perth Amboy

    Small jobs, done right, for neighbors who told their friends.

  2. →Growing one referral at a time

    Kitchens, baths, decks and more, with licensed partners for plumbing, electrical and HVAC.

  3. TodayA family team you can count on

    Five of us, trusted subcontractors, and our NJ home improvement contractor registration behind every job.

What we believe

The things we care about most

These aren't words on a wall. They're how we decide what to do when nobody's watching.

Your home comes first

We cover floors and furniture before we start and clean up before we leave. Every single day.

Respect for everyone

You, your kids, your pets, your neighbors and each other. Kindness is part of the job.

No surprises

A clear written contract before we start. If something changes, we talk first and you approve it in writing.

Done right, not rushed

We'd rather take an extra hour than leave something we're not proud of.

We own it

If we make a mistake, we fix it. Our work comes with a 12-month written workmanship warranty.

Customers become family

Most of our clients call us again, and send their friends. We work hard to keep it that way.

If I wouldn't accept it in my own house, it doesn't leave our job site. That's the whole idea behind this company.
