Staunton Home Builder

Phillip obtained a passion for the building profession starting at an early age. His uncle was the store manager of a Lowe’s® Home Improvement store. He remembered going to the store early on Saturday mornings with his dad and was mesmerized by the trucks, supplies, builders, and their stories. When his uncle retired from Lowe’s® Home Improvement, he opened his own local lumberyard, where Phillip began working every Saturday loading and unloading trucks and assisting customers in the warehouse. After Phillip’s time serving in the Marine Corps, he started his career at Lowe’s® Home Improvement working in the warehouse and became the warehouse manager.

Fast forward five years, Phillip started his own lawn and landscaping business with only one employee and one contract to later grow the company to an average of 10 employees and 50 – 60 contracts with annual sales exceeding a million dollars. While owning his business, he became a job superintendent with Spring Lakes Builders overseeing many day-to-day operations, primarily coordinating the infrastructure and development of new roads and new home construction. For the last several years, before he became part owner of George Owen Construction LLC, Phillip worked at Lowe’s® Home Improvement in outside sales selling decks, fences, gutters, siding, roofs, and windows.
