Philbin Construction and Remodeling Company was founded in 1987 by Jack Philbin. Back then “Cheers” was on television, most cell phones looked like bricks, and the average cost of a new home was just over $122,000. Since 1987, the look of our projects has changed drastically, but the core values the company was founded on have not.
We live in the communities we work in, and we sincerely look forward to seeing our clients in grocery stores and restaurants and introducing them to our families. It happens quite frequently, and there’s nothing more rewarding for us than to be reunited with a happy client years after their project ends and to chat for a minute about how what we did improved not only their home, but also the quality of their lives.
Over the years, we have been fortunate to have some of the most amazing people work on our teams in the field. We are still enjoying the benefits of carpenters and installers who believe in old-school integrity and craftsmanship today. Our workers are frequently complemented for being on time, clean, and respectful of our client’s homes, families, and pets. They are all approachable, easy to talk to, and able to answer any questions our clients have during their projects.
Matt Philbin joined his family’s business in 1995, and began working as a laborer in the field. With Jack’s direction and guidance, he quickly learned as much as possible about our trades, and was later promoted to a Lead Carpenter position in just a couple years. After an injury forced him to take some time off in 2002, he took the opportunity to come into the office and study the design and estimating side of the business. In 2003, Matt began designing and managing his own projects. In the Spring of 2017, Matt took over as sole owner of Philbin Construction & Remodeling Co. and continues to work directly with clients on many of our projects today. In his spare time, he enjoys photography and cooking, and spending time with his wife and children.
Jessica Philbin joined her husband Jack's business in 1990. With a B.A. in Interior Design, she began using her design skills to help make people's dreams a reality. In 2003, always ready to fill a need within the family business, she stepped into her current role as Accounting Administrator / Office Manager. When she’s not at the office she can be found with a microphone in her hand singing, with her nose in a book carried away by the author's imagination, or enjoying time with her family and friends.
Rachel Bruno started her career in the remodeling industry in 2003. Through the years she has acquired a vast knowledge of how things work both in the field and through her designs. She enjoys making beautifully functional spaces to suit each of her client’s needs. When she is not in the office, she enjoys spending time with her three children. She coaches her son’s basketball team and travels around the country with her daughter as she plays softball.
