Our Management Team

Michael Roy | Owner/Chief Executive Officer
Michael's passion for woodworking started at a young age. His career began in furniture making at a well known company in Connecticut. He then went on to study and teach boatbuilding. After this he returned to Connecticut to apprentice with an old-school craftsman in house construction and historic renovations. This experience led to starting his own custom cabinet shop, which he ran for 4 years before moving to Maine. Once in Maine, he took on the role of Shop Manager at a well known high-end construction company for 5 years. In 2003, he co-founded Phi Home Designs which embodies his extensive background in design, fine home construction, cabinetry, and furniture making. Furthermore, Michael has spearheaded a unique approach to home building that entails working collaboratively with the client, architect, landscape architect and interior designer from the initial concept to completion of the project. Michael resides in Camden and has two beautiful girls, Avery and Eliza.
