To be an industry leader you have to be doing something right. To stay one of the leaders for nearly three decades you must make the commitment to keep doing it right.

Affordability

Edwin and Susan Henry began the company with a vision that every family could realize the American dream: owning a new home. “Early on,” CEO Edwin Henry says, “we learned to buy building materials in bulk and save money. We pass that savings right along to the buyer.”

Henry compares his concept to Sam Walton’s savings principle of Wal-Mart and Sam’s Wholesale Club. Volume purchases equal real value and savings for the consumer.

Design

Henry encourages consumers to look around and compare. “Design is where we [Henry Company Homes] really excel,” according to Brenda Whitfield, Henry’s Marketing Manager. “With well over 40 floor plans from which to choose, there is literally something for everyone.”

Henry’s floor plans are unique and innovative—designed for the way people live today. “Through research with home owners, we learn how people use their homes,” Whitfield continues. “We take that information back to the design team and modify our designs to provide the most livable floor plans available.”

Quality

Henry’s production managers and site superintendents have special construction training and all hold the title of “personal builder.” Personal builders oversee the construction process with each homeowner, ensuring high quality standards are met by all professionals involved in the construction. “I build each home as if I were going to live in it myself,” says Donnie House, Production Manager.

Location

Henry Company Homes builds all over Northwest Florida: Pensacola, Pace and Milton, Navarre, Crestview and Niceville. Each neighborhood is planned carefully around the most popular schools and close to the area’s recreational parks.

Warranty & Customer Service

Every home built by Henry Company Homes is covered by a 1-year construction warranty and an 10-year warranty from the Bonded Builders Warranty Program. Henry Company Homes has been certified as "Claims Free" since 1990 by the Bonded Builders Warranty Group.
