What FBC Remodel does

FBC Remodel, founded in 1997 by Patrick Condon in Denver as Finished Basement Company, is a privately held residential design-build remodeling firm operating across Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota through three regional offices (Denver, Naperville, and St. Louis Park). The company provides integrated design and construction services for basements, kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home renovations, specialty rooms (home theaters, gyms, wine cellars, wet bars, saunas), home additions, historic home renovations, and attic conversions, with project values ranging from approximately $45,000 to $450,000+. Its core technology is a proprietary 'Build Joy' methodology backed by a structured 9-step design-build process, complemented by 3D design renderings and a construction app that delivers daily project updates to homeowners. The company claims to be the nation's largest firm specializing in basement design and finish, with thousands of projects completed over more than two decades and 40% of business generated from repeat and referral clients.

FBC operates a sales-led go-to-market model through complimentary design consultations conducted in person at its three design centers or virtually, with no dealer or distributor network. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees covering design, materials, and construction, with structured payment milestones (a $2,500 final deposit and 50% cabinet payment at plan review). The customer base is exclusively residential homeowners (mid-market household projects), with the primary segment being homeowners seeking to expand or modernize living space in established metros; a secondary DIY-oriented segment is served by the 'Nearly Finished Basement' tier starting at $45,000. The company is led by Founder Patrick Condon and CEO Matt Hennebry, with no disclosed outside investors, funding rounds, or parent company, suggesting organic growth funded by operations since 1997. Distribution is direct-to-consumer across a multi-channel marketing stack that includes content marketing, paid search, Houzz, social platforms, home shows, and referrals, with validation through industry awards (Chrysalis, NARI, Best and Brightest) and earned media (History Channel's Modern Marvels).
