Our History of Building Dreams Since 1977
The Humble Beginnings
In 1977, George French and Melrose Bond French were presented with an opportunity to bring innovative construction and home design to Ennis, Texas. With a young son and a close circle of friends in North Dallas, the French family decided to take a leap of faith. They sold their home in Richardson within two days and moved to Ennis, where they began building three speculative homes under the name French & Bond.
George’s experience in building and accounting, paired with Melrose’s expertise in interior design, set the foundation for a thriving company. Their success attracted the attention of longtime friends Tony Medina and his wife Sylvia, who joined the French family in 1978. Together, they formed French, Bond, & Medina, combining business acumen, technical skill, and design expertise to establish a trusted name in the home-building market.

Evolution into FBM Roofing & Solar
By 1984, the company expanded into real estate under the Coldwell Banker franchise, selling custom-built homes and private properties throughout Ellis County. However, the 1986 financial crisis presented challenges, prompting the founders to pivot and focus on the core values of home and security. In 1998, FBM Roofing & Solar was officially established to address roofing and construction needs.
In 2003, George French passed the reins to his son Mike French, who further diversified the company’s offerings to include HVAC, plumbing, fire and flood restoration, make-ready services, and general contracting. Today, FBM Roofing & Solar operates as a full-service property management and construction company, staying true to its roots of friendship, family, and community.
