Rob Oldenburg

Division President

I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, and then followed an unconventional career path from Computer Science at Miami University (Ohio) to management at an Interior Design company in Florida and then coming back to Illinois; providing flood, fire, and mold restoration services as a general manager. Leaving the chaos of restoration work, I joined a custom home builder bringing grand and creative dreams to reality. I have done everything from writing code to swinging hammers, and I have taken lessons from all those disparate experiences. I look forward to bringing that open mind and varied background to our client’s homes here at FBC!

What Does Build Joy Mean to you?

My father owned a construction company until I was 11 when he suddenly passed away.  However, in that short time I did witness the quality of work and care for the clients that his team performed.  It was so impressive, that 30 years later I was repairing a house fire and based on my last name the home owner remembered that my father remodeled his house when the owner was in his early teens. Building Joy for me is making a quality impression for someone that can literally last generations.

Customer Reviews

FBC Remodel is proud to Build Joy® for homeowners. See what our customers have to say about working with us.

“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.”

“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!!!”

“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.”
