Meet The Team of Assured Exteriors
Below are some of the people you may come into contact with when working with us. We are very proud of our team and the great service they provide to our customers.
Phil Smith
Owner
Phillip Smith has been a business owner in the Vancouver, WA community since 2003, and has been in the home improvement industry since 1993. He is a journeyman carpenter with experience in all phases of both residential and commercial construction.
Phillip believes that every company is a reflection of the people who are running it, and takes a hands-on approach to his day to day position. He can be found job planning, working on design, handling customer relations, or meeting with the rest of the sales team to go over projects and solutions. He makes an effort to provide coaching and motivation and strives to be an example of how a positive first outlook can set the tone in every situation.
Phillip loves to help people in all areas of his life. He is a family man who loves to spend time with his wife and his four boys. He enjoys hiking, fishing, and coaching football, and there is nothing more important to him than his family.
