Meet the Team

Philip Hughes-Parry

Philip brings over 10 years of experience in renovation and project management from the marine industry. Hailing from the south coast of England, Philip has spent most his career on the water and has always found that helping his clients get the most out of their boats by designing and implementing modifications to meet the owners’ needs has been his most satisfying work. After moving to Minnesota in 2018, Philip wanted to apply his passion for maximizing both beauty and functionality to the home remodeling industry. After overseeing and completing much of the hands-on work for the full renovating his own home in 2018 and becoming a qualified builder in 2019, Philip now looks forward to ensuring that Ellis Builders’ clients have everything that they need to make their home remodeling projects smooth sailing!
