What Our Clients Are Saying

“FBC did an amazing job with our 1600 sq ft basement. The sales team listened to our vision, offered several options and helped us stay within budget. Our PM was fantastic! We received daily communication with minimal life interruption, realistic expectations and partnered with us to ensure every aspect was covered. They even finished early!!! We had met with 2 other contractors and are so happy about our choice! They accommodated our quirky requests for a brewery room, rerouting our laundry dryer vent, closeting our water piping for access and exterior window well changes. Best choice ever!!!”

Heather R.

“We can't say enough about the design team at FBC. We had multiple companies bid on our project and everyone else came back with the same basic design (a good but not spectacular layout). But FBC looked at the space from a completely different angle and in the process was able to create everything on our wishlist including an extra room. The design was elegant and functional and our family now benefits from it every day.”

Michael S.

“The design/construction approach by FBC produced an excellent finished product for us. We added a large recreation room for pool, TV and games along with a bedroom and bathroom. Ceiling soffits, arched entries and angled walls created a unique and inviting space. The project team and trade partners did fine work and we are very happy with our new basement. All work was completed on schedule and within budget. The best part was having all construction access through the basement window. Our only advice is to carefully review all design details to assure that everything you want is clearly specified in the drawings. Then be part of the team by doing quality control as the project moves along.”

Our process

Our proven process takes the guesswork out of remodeling while keeping you involved in every decision that matters.

Build Joy Call

Everything starts with a conversation. During your Build Joy call, we'll discuss your vision, timeline, and budget in a no-pressure environment. This isn't a sales pitch-it's our chance to understand what you really want from your space and how we can make it happen. We'll answer your questions honestly and help you think through possibilities you might not have considered.

Virtual Design Consult

Next, we'll meet virtually to dive deeper into your project goals and explore design possibilities. You'll see examples of similar projects we've completed and get a clearer picture of what's possible within your budget. This step helps us both determine if we're the right fit for bringing your vision to life.

Measure & Develop

Our team will visit your home to take precise measurements and assess the existing conditions. We'll identify any potential challenges early and develop preliminary design concepts that maximize your space's potential. This thorough planning phase prevents surprises later and ensures we're designing solutions that actually work in your real-world space.

Ideas Meeting

This is where your project really comes to life. We'll present detailed design concepts, material selections, and walk through every aspect of your remodel. You'll see exactly what we're proposing and have the chance to refine details until everything feels just right. By the end of this meeting, you'll have a clear roadmap for your transformation.
