hil Morris is the definition of a “local.” Born in Jerome as a descendent of an Arizona pioneer family he “knows the territory,” which is a distinct advantage for his clients. Phil’s heritage accounts for his propensity for building personal residences that reflect the history and beauty of the Verde Valley where he grew up. Currently, while he modestly celebrates 47 years of success as a well-known veteran of Arizona’s construction industry, it is obvious that Phil has established a reputation as the most respected and well-established homebuilder in the entire Sedona area. Actually, to explicitly declare “in the entire state of Arizona” would not be an absurd exaggeration, though during recent years, Phil’s primary interest has been focused on building exceptional homes – everything from the most spectacular mountaintop retreats to relatively simple, eco-friendly hideaways – in beautiful Red Rock Country and northern Arizona. Today, the trust and total confidence displayed by clients in the Sedona, Scottsdale and Flagstaff areas are a testament to the professionalism and exceptional reputation of The Morris Company. Signature works by Phil and his wife, Pamela, who has an eye for interior design, include luxurious custom-homes in the Seven

Canyons golf community and impressive remodels in a dramatic setting overlooking historic, Oak Creek wine country. “We specialize in custom homes and remodels, but especially important are the unique aspects of these projects such as wine cellars, kitchens, outdoor living areas, barns, orchards and vineyards.” says Phil, a knowledgeable wine connoisseur and gourmet. “Enthusiasm for Arizona’s wine industry has reached a level of popularity that home owners not only want custom cellars for storage of their wine collections, but also a special place to taste wine, relax and socialize with guests.” In areas like spectacular Sedona, which is surrounded by National Forest, vacant land for new, custom homes has become harder to find and remodeling quaint, modest homes in original neighborhoods has become stylish. Phil’s familiarity with this area, and early construction methods, makes him an expert to complete a remodel project that reflects the past with the conveniences of modern technology. “From initial site consultation through selection and coordination with architects to the craftsmanship of finishing touches, we will build you the finest home possible.” That’s the simple promise that Phil makes to every client! It is not a surprise that the charm, character and comfort of homes constructed by Phil immediately capture the love and spirit of all who view them. And just as important is the trust and long-time friendship of clients from around the world . . . a testament to the professionalism and unparalleled reputation of The Morris Company. “Especially important are unique aspects such as barns, orchards and vineyards.”

Impressive remodels are a specialty of The Morris Company . . . this one in a dramatic setting overlooking historic, Oak Creek wine country.
