ALL ABOUT US
We want to design and build to make your dreams a reality
Our Story
Evergreen Design is a London, Ontario Canada based design and renovation business owned and operated by Phil, Stephanie, Mark and Eric. While our individual experiences started at different times and in different ways, Evergreen originated with Phil taking a day out of each week to help people with their smaller projects. Smaller projects turned into larger renovations and Stephanie came on board to add her design expertise. Thus Evergreen became a formal partnership. As the scope of projects grew, Mark joined to help manage the increasing number of steps and trades involved. Eventually, those three incorporated and founded Evergreen Design and Build as it's known today. As business picked up, we brought Eric into the fold as a second project manager and he eventually became the fourth owner. While the company consists of the four of us, we rely on a large roster of professional and qualified tradespeople and wholesalers that we've worked with for years to bring your project to fruition.
Our Approach
We believe our clients have a story to tell through their space. We work from the early stages to understand our client's individual needs, and put together a plan that enables their goal to become reality. Our design process helps ensure a unified vision, and a functional plan to bring the feeling of home to our clients while being attainable & affordable.

He moved to London in the early 2000’s and immediately got his start in construction flipping houses with a partner and working for a contractor.

During that time he was always busy with construction projects as he performed major renovations to his own house (for two different houses), his eight rental units, his vacation property and consulted on countless projects for friends, family and real estate clients.
