Could not be happier or more pleased with the entire process of building a home with Rich, Kathy, Kristen and the rest of the R&K team. The team is friendly, professional, creative and overall just a pleasure to work with- not to mention that their craftsmanship is top notch. I would highly recommend the R&K team.

R&K worked with us to make our dream home a reality. What started out as a sketch I did on graph paper, became a gorgeous home that met every expectation. Kathy took the time to bring us to each vendor and was very mindfull of our budget, ensuring that the items I choose would keep me on track. Loved every minute of the building experience. Thank you Ritch and Kathy!
