Paul Harrison never set out to enter the home improvement industry, but when he saw friends struggling through high-pressure sales pitches just to buy windows, he knew there had to be a better way. That realization sparked the beginning of Innovative Home Improvements, a locally owned company built on fairness, quality, and customer-first service. Instead of overwhelming homeowners with aggressive sales tactics, Paul set out to offer a stress-free experience with top-tier products at fair prices, and that mission has driven his business ever since.
"I figured there has to be a better way, with a better experience for the customer and better products with better prices."
Overcoming the Challenges of Small Business
Competing with national chains that pour millions into advertising is no small feat, especially for a local business. Paul and his team rely on word-of-mouth and their reputation for outstanding craftsmanship to keep their business growing. One of the biggest challenges has been getting their name out there in a crowded market. However, Paul has found that delivering exceptional service and real results makes a bigger impact than any marketing campaign ever could.
Making an Impact One Home at a Time
For Paul, the most rewarding moments come when he sees the transformation of a home and the relief on a customer’s face. One standout project involved a homeowner with severe wood rot throughout their house. Working within a teacher’s salary budget, his team replaced the wood, installed new siding, trim, and gutters, and completely revitalized the home. The entire neighborhood gathered around, amazed by the difference. These are the moments that fuel Paul's passion for his work.
