About

Our Commitment to Quality

“We are a family-owned business working hard to offer an alternative option from redundant design while providing a seamless construction process. Design is our God-given talent and superior craftsmanship is our commitment. We have found that our process takes the stress out of building for our customers.” — Megan Phillips

Founded by Megan and Aaron Phillips, PH Design & Construction was created to solve a persistent problem in the home building industry. Homeowners were being sent all over—different showrooms, different vendors, different schedules—creating stress, delays, and confusion during what should be an exciting experience. We brought design, planning, and construction together under one roof.

Today, operating from our North Canton design studio, we offer a fully guided, all-in-one approach to custom homes, whole-house remodels, and major additions throughout Northeast Ohio.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make building a custom home or major remodel straightforward and stress-free by guiding clients through every step—from first plans to final keys—with one team, one process, and no handoffs.

Most of our clients are planning once-in-a-lifetime projects—homes that need to be done right the first time. Whether it’s a Tudor estate, modern farmhouse, or full-scale remodel, we show up with the same care, attention to detail, and commitment to quality.

How We Work: Our Core Values

1. Personalized Home Design

PH literally stands for Personalized Home Design. Your home should feel like you—not a template.

In our North Canton design studio, you meet with our team, bring your ideas, online plans, or one of our own floor plan designs, and we shape it together. We create 2D floor plans, 3D renderings, and walkthroughs so you can see and experience your home before it’s built.

“You just come into our studio and we make everything happen.”
— Julie, team member

Whether we’re designing a Tudor with a turret and barrel-vaulted brick arch or a modern farmhouse on acreage, our process is built around your vision, not our convenience.

2. Turnkey, All-Inclusive Service

Most of our clients don’t want a part-time job managing their own build. They want one trusted team to carry the project from idea to keys.

We handle:

Septic and well (where applicable)
Surveying and site planning
Permits, testing, and inspections
Driveways and site work
Design, selections, and construction

“We do it all. So, you know, the septic, the well… the surveying, the permits, you know, we don’t put things on the homeowner to do.”
— Aaron, Co-owner

Instead of sending you across multiple suppliers and showrooms, you work with one team in one place. That’s true for custom new builds, full-house remodels, and large additions.

3. Homes Built to Last for Generations

We design beautiful homes—but never at the expense of what’s behind the walls.

From structural details to material choices, we build the kind of house we’d be proud to live in ourselves. Our goal is that every finished project feels solid, timeless, and worthy of a five-star review years down the line.

Whether it’s a complex Tudor with curved walls and real wood trim or a whole-house remodel that touches nearly every room, craftsmanship and longevity are non-negotiable.

4. Clear, Consistent Communication (Near or Far)

Many of our clients are out of town, building a second home, or relocating to Ohio. They need to know what’s happening without having to be on-site.

We provide:

App-based access to your schedule and progress
Weekly progress photos (typically every Friday)
Messaging and updates directly in the app
The ability to pay invoices online

“We’re a good builder for an out of town customer… we’re a trustworthy company that can build and update them remotely and keep them abreast to the progress, you know, very easily.”
— Aaron, Co-owner

You can also call or text our office line—communication is never an afterthought. From local North Canton families to clients in Arizona building here in Ohio, our systems keep you fully informed every step of the way.

5. Thoughtful, Guided Design Decisions

Big projects come with big decisions. Our job is to make those decisions easier, not more overwhelming.

In our studio, we:

Curate 2–3 coordinated options for each major space (kitchens, baths, fireplaces, accent walls, etc.)
Build boards with flooring, cabinets, countertops, and paint colors that work together
Use 3D renderings and walkthroughs so you can truly picture each space

“If you’re looking at all your plans on paper, you’re like, I just can’t see it. We have a place in Cleveland… They put the floor plan on the floor. So you walk through your house, and it is the actual size.”
— Julie, team member

For clients who struggle to visualize, we even offer a full-scale walkthrough through a Cleveland partner where you can walk your floor plan at actual size.

6. Caring Beyond the Build

Our relationship doesn’t end when we hand you the keys. We want move-in day and the months after to feel as special as the design and build process.

That’s why we:

Help with soft design—furnishings, layout, and decor through our interior design services
Build digital boards with clickable links to products we recommend
Take professional photos and provide you with copies
Prepare a custom welcome basket tailored to your home and style
Gift a watercolor of your home’s front elevation with your family name

For us, a project isn’t complete until your house truly feels like home.

7. The Right Projects, Done the Right Way

We’re at our best on full-service custom homes and large-scale remodels and additions—the kind of work where thoughtful planning, structural integrity, and design details all matter.

Most of our remodels are in the $150,000–$300,000+ range and often include major kitchen and main-level transformations, full-house updates, or significant additions. We focus on projects where we can deliver a deeply personalized, well-coordinated experience from site work to soft furnishings.
