Phil ’ s introduction to the industry started at the age of 13 , being paid $ 10 a day for scouring local construction sites and collecting discarded nails by the bucketful . At the age of 17 , while still at high school , he secured a job as a laborer , and went on to work his way from the bottom up . Today , Phil has 2600 homes under his belt , and countless remodeling projects . “ I can ’ t tell you how many remodels I have done : everything from educational establishments and doctors ’ offices to houses of worship and retail properties ,” he begins .

Talented team

Phil has owned Millennium for 13 years , having bought the company from the original firm whose sites he scoured for nails , and for which he worked for over 30 years . “ We have been able to strike out on our own , and go ahead and do some amazing work ,” Phil enthuses . “ I have a great team . Jessica is the mainstay of the company ; keeping us moving , keeping us supplied , keeping us insured ,” he quips . “ I have a right-hand man who is a master plumber , and my son has also joined us . We have a unique business model out in the field . We may not be up to speed with the latest technologies , but I don ’ t believe the office builds the job . I believe the job is built out in the field by the people who are dealing with it every day . Our construction lead time is usually half to a quarter of everybody else ’ s , and the quality is just as good . I have learned how to multi-task , and have multiple contractors working on a project at any one time .

“ That is our uniqueness . I believe in tackling one or two jobs at a time , and then moving on to the next . Being able to manage more is not the issue , but rather , it ’ s more effective to concentrate forces so you are not running around wasting time when every movement counts ,” Phil emphasizes .
