In this episode of Connect Germantown, host Janie Day of the Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce sits down with Derek Phillips, founder of Phillips Property Solutions, to talk about what it really takes to deliver high-quality home remodeling in the Memphis area.
Derek shares his journey from working in real estate to launching his own construction company in 2019—starting out of his garage and growing into a full-service operation specializing in high-end kitchen and bathroom remodels. With over a decade of industry experience, he breaks down what truly sets his company apart: a relentless focus on communication, client experience, and doing exactly what he says he’ll do.
The conversation dives into practical advice for homeowners, including how to properly vet a contractor, what to expect with renovation costs, and how to avoid common (and costly) mistakes. Derek also explains how his team handles unexpected issues, maintains quality control across projects, and keeps jobs on track financially.
Plus, hear about exciting growth plans for Phillips Property Solutions—including a new commercial office and showroom experience, along with innovative tools like 3D renderings that help clients visualize their dream spaces before construction even begins.
Whether you’re planning a renovation or simply want to better understand the process, this episode offers valuable insights from a trusted local expert.
