About

Real craftsmanship.

Our team

Two brothers, one standard

Henry Design Build was started by two brothers who grew up with sawdust in our shoes and a job site as our second home. Our dad renovated every house we lived in — not because it was easy, but because he believed a home should be shaped by the hands of the people who love it. Long before we could legally work, we were right there beside him on weekends and summers, sweeping up scraps, holding boards steady, and slowly learning what it really takes to build something that lasts.

I’m Ryan Henry, founder of Henry Design Build and a Red Seal certified carpenter. My brother Cam Henry is our head of sales and a carpenter in his own right. Together, we bring that same family spirit to every project — from the first cup of coffee where we talk through your vision, to the final walkthrough when we hand you the keys.

We know inviting someone into your home to build or renovate is a big deal. Too many contractors leave families guessing — about timelines, about budgets, about what’s actually happening behind those plastic sheets. That’s not how we were raised, and it’s not how we work. Growing up, our father made every renovation feel less like a construction project and more like part of the family story. We’ve built our business the same way: honest conversations, fair pricing, and craftsmanship you can trust — so the process feels as comfortable as the home we’re building for you.

Because at the end of the day, we’re not just building houses. We’re building the place where your family’s next chapter happens.

The process

Four stages, no surprises

  1. 01

    First meeting

    Invite us to your home. We want to hear your ideas and get to know you. From there we go over the proposed scope of work, your budget, and give you options we know you will love.

  2. 02

    Design

    We give you an estimate on the cost of the scope of work. We want to hear your questions and any more ideas you may have. Then we go through samples and options together, and plan a starting date.

  3. 03

    Build

    We prepare your house for the work being done, ensuring comfort, cleanliness and peace of mind throughout. Then we get to work — keeping you updated with transparent communication for the entirety of your experience.

  4. 04

    Done

    Time to move back in, and we are still of help. We make sure your home is put together completely, so you can go back to making memories in a home that is unmistakably yours.

What it’s like
to build with us

Every project ends with a walkthrough, and every client gets a direct line afterwards. These are the people who used it.
