Our strength lies in a highly skilled workforce supported by the training, tools, and leadership needed to perform at a consistently high level. We approach every project with a focus on efficiency, accountability, and delivering value—because our clients’ success directly impacts our own.
With extensive experience across a wide range of commercial projects, we are equipped to take on work of all sizes, from targeted renovations to large-scale new construction. Our team is fluent in both traditional building methods and evolving construction systems, allowing us to adapt seamlessly to the demands of complex job sites. We hold our workmanship and client service to the highest standard, supported by a trusted network of top-tier subcontractors and industry professionals.
We believe great buildings are not just completed—they are refined through coordination, foresight, and continuous improvement. Construction exists within time and use, and long-term performance depends on how well each phase is executed.
Our clients value us for being straightforward, proactive, and easy to work with. We communicate clearly, take ownership of our scope, and collaborate closely with project teams to deliver finished spaces everyone can stand behind with confidence.

Phillips Construction is always the right choice.”

They are a great group of professionals and they have always gotten the job done. Besides being a great contractor I consider him a friend. I look forward to continuing our relationship on future jobs.”

“Working with Gary and Phillips Construction has made Alston Construction job to deliver for our clients easy and fast no matter the type, size or schedule. No matter who the lead PM is Vish , Donnie, or Alan they all know the importance the relationship is between Phillips and Alston and the number one priority is to deliver on time for the client and various tenants. We have done multiple projects together over the years from $50,000 to over $2.5 million and no matter the size of project you always get top notch attention and service from Phillips Construction.There were a few times we have accelerated projects and sometimes given a Phillips a CO to meet the project schedule. However, Phillips always met the schedule and came in well below the estimated budget we established.The relationship between Alston and Phillips goes beyond business. We consider it a friendship first and it allows us both to succeed to meet our goals in business.”
- Peter Stavrinou, Alston Construction“Gary and his team have been a go to resource for us for the last 15 years. Gary has built himself an amazing business with a great team of loyal employees. From a one truck operation to a prominent Tristate team of carpenters, Phillips has become leader in the industry for interior and exterior carpentry. A great part of our success is based on the subcontractors that we can rely upon and Gary and his team are at the top of that list.”
