Phillip Sozio

Phillip Sozio is a Co-Owner and Vice President of Cutting Edge Homes and Renovations, representing the next generation of leadership in a family-owned construction company built on experience, integrity, and hands-on expertise.

Phillip was raised in the construction industry and has benefited from an uncommon depth of mentorship on both sides of his family. On his paternal side, he learned foundational principles from his grandfather, Anthony “Tony” Sozio—known to him as “Poppy”—a successful commercial contractor in Upstate New York whose work ethic, discipline, and standards continue to influence the family’s approach to construction. Under the guidance of his father, Scott Sozio, Phillip has carried those lessons forward into the daily operations of Cutting Edge Homes and Renovations.

On his maternal side, Phillip gained additional hands-on experience working alongside his grandfather, David J. Hayes, a locally licensed General Contractor in Cape Coral, Florida. From a young age, Phillip worked in the field with his grandfather, learning practical jobsite execution, problem-solving, and the realities of construction at the ground level. This dual exposure has given Phillip a well-rounded perspective—blending large-scale conceptual understanding with real-world field application.

At just 22 years old, Phillip is actively involved in all aspects of the business, from jobsite operations to project coordination. His hands-on approach allows him to confront challenges directly and develop solutions in real time, building confidence and competence across every phase of construction.

Phillip is certified in Wind Mitigation and Four-Point Inspections, providing valuable expertise in property evaluations critical to Southwest Florida construction and insurance requirements. He is currently studying to obtain his Florida State Roofing Contractor license, continuing the family tradition of disciplined licensing and professional growth.

Driven, eager to learn, and deeply committed to mastering his craft, Phillip views every project as an opportunity to expand his knowledge. With guidance from both sides of his family and a strong desire to absorb as much experience as possible, he is building a foundation to carry the family legacy forward for generations to come.
