R&D Renovations was established in 1984 by Rick SR, at the age of 24 in his home town of Danbury CT. For him, there was no question about what he wanted to do in life, as he has felt drawn to construction and trade work since a young age. Rick attended trade school at Bullard-Havens in 1980, and has absolutely loved working in construction ever since. If you were to take a drive around Fairfield County with Rick, he could tell you the stories of almost every house, commercial building, and even the mall. Trust us, we know, we’ve heard them all!

40 years later, and R&D Renovations has soared to amazing heights, and has expanded beyond belief. R&D Renovations is a true family business, having Rick JR & Marissa joining in on the fun.

Marissa: “Having grown up around construction all my life, I felt like working for my fathers company was a natural fit, considering I probably started doing admin work for the company around 10 years old for fun. I was born and raised in Ridgefield CT, and attended college at Florida Gulf Coast University, but ultimately found myself back up north to be closer to home. Continuing to work in Ridgefield is truly a comfort, and I cannot wait to see where my career will go. Working alongside my father and brother has inspired me to always aim high, and accept nothing lower.”

Rick JR: “From a young age, my father instilled in me the importance of always striving to be the best version of myself. Some of my most cherished memories come from spending time on job sites with my brother, Andrew, and his dog, Reina. These experiences not only strengthened our family bond but also ignited my passion for construction, as I witnessed firsthand how my dad brought clients' visions to life. My sister Marissa has always been a highly creative and imaginative individual, qualities that have seamlessly translated into her role as a project coordinator. Her ability to think outside the box and manage complex tasks makes her an invaluable asset to our team. My goal is not only to become an elite builder but also to establish a family-oriented business that the community can rely on and trust. I am fortunate to have my best friend and wonderful wife, Deanna, by my side, along with our four children—Julianna, Trevor, Liliana, and Viviana. Together, we have built a loving family rooted in strong values. The passion for our work runs deep, and I am dedicated to passing on the same work ethic and love for the craft that my father instilled in me.”

Rick JR & Marissa feel beyond blessed to be able to work alongside their father Rick, and be able to learn everything about the business first hand. He truly is the hardest working person they know, and are grateful to have the chance to make him proud.

We also cannot write an “About Us” section without mentioning our brother Andrew, who passed suddenly in May of 2021. He truly was the most generous soul, and the reason we continue to stay motivated to work hard every day. He will forever be our Employee of the Month.

We consider ourselves extremely blessed to say we can work alongside our family, while working closely with the families of Fairfield County. To us, construction is not just brick & mortar and blueprints. We value what a house has been through, and how we can support it so that it can keep collecting its own stories. Our goal is to enhance our customers every day lives, and give them comfortable spaces to spend their time, and create memories.

Thank you for choosing us to make your home dreams come true, wether thats a whole home remodel, or simply just sprucing up the bathroom. We appreciate being able to be a part of your home & families story.
