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!
