Ellis Builders
For high-stakes projects, Solid is more than a subcontractor — they’re an advisor.
Ellis Builders specializes in accessibility work — from ramps and roll-in bathrooms to residential elevators. Managing partner Philip Hughes Perry knows these projects aren’t just about craftsmanship; they’re about getting it right for people who need it most. That’s why Solid has remained one of their most trusted partners for over seven years. “We’ve never had a single issue with elevator or lift systems when Solid is involved,” Philip shares. “They align with our values — they’re communicative, dependable, and always thinking one step ahead.”
Solid isn’t just there to execute. They actively collaborate, advise, and solve problems before they happen. “From bid to build, they’re not only great with our team — they’re great with our clients too,” he says. When timing is tight or materials are delayed, Solid's crews look ahead, making sure they’re ready for whatever’s next. “They do 60% of a typical project for us, from framing to roofing to trim,” Philip adds. “And we’ve never once thought about replacing them.” For a builder who values partnership over price tags, Solid continues to be an essential part of the Ellis Builders story.
