Looking for a Professional Contractor?

John Ricci, President of Ricci Construction Group, has more than 25 years experience in building custom homes, residential developments, remodeling, and commercial projects.

After a terrible wind storm, we sustained severe damage to our home. One phone call to John was all we needed. John and his team responded with care and compassion, and rebuilt our house as if it was never damaged. John was extremely patient and understanding through the insurance process, and completed the job on time and on budget. Thank you to Ricci Construction.

It was a big step  deciding to have remodeling work done on my home made more challenging as  I am a widow making decisions without my partner.

My doubts were dismissed as  the working relationship with all the folks at Ricci Construction was both professional and  superior in every way.

Having people in my home for almost 5 months on a daily basis actually was fun.  Seeing the work competed with such care and quality was exciting for me.  When  I asked for extra consideration with  smaller projects within my home all efforts were made to accommodate my requests.

I can highly recommend this company and  all of the people involved to do great work that  will meet your expectations and  in fact exceed them.

We were very lucky to have John Ricci and his crew working on our building. We were under time constraints and had to have the building up within a certain period of time. Not only did he keep his word and come in on time but he came in ahead of schedule! First class subcontractors. John always made suggestions to improve our building ( many of which we adopted )but was never pushy about it. He did a great job for us and we’re very comfortable in our new 10,000 square-foot building. And he continues to check in to make sure everything is all right six months after completion! Top shelf contractor!

A Five star rating doesn’t seem to be enough, they are simply the BEST! Our experience with Ricci Construction began in March 2010 with the “extreme makeover” of our summer residence. Our goal was to downsize and move from our larger residence in North Haven to our smaller summer residence so that we could live there year round. We met with John and discussed our “wish list” and “must haves” in the redesign, crucial of which was the curing of an ongoing (10+years) leak above our kitchen window that only occured during heavy, horizontal rainfalls which are common on the Long Island Sound.

It’s unbelievable! We got the keys of the new house today. It’s a gorgeous house. [[We couldn’t, can’t and won’t be able to find a single word to express our appreciation to all of you.]] It’s your very kind, generous and tireless help that made our dream a reality. We reserve our appreciation to each of you forever. We simply want to say thank you Everyone!!!

One last important topic to mention – beyond the quality of the home and the client experience in working with Ricci Construction- is the obvious skill and diplomacy John Ricci has in working patiently and productively with municipal regulators, community activists, association leaders, curious neighbors, subcontractors, and vendors. All either had a longstanding affection for John or soon came to appreciate him and trust him if it was a new relationship. I saw him win over potential antagonists in regulatory hearings and community meetings through honesty, incredible document preparation, fairness, logic, and charm. Despite the unpredictable snags and crisis that arise from weather and materials to shifting regulatory concerns, let alone some of the volatility and macho position taking endemic to the industry, John never losses his cheerful dignity. He sees every challenge as an opportunity for creative problem solving with his endearing mantra consistently being “Its ALL good…”

Two years ago I began my search for a home builder for my new upscale home. The name that kept coming up was John Ricci.

I meet with John and he took me on a tour of some of the house he had previously built and I got to speak with some of the home owners. Their satisfaction and the quality of their home construction convinced me that John Ricci was the home builder for me.

Now that the construction is complete and I’ve moved in, I couldn’t be happier. Every step of the way, John provided high quality professional services at a fair price. Any time I would question an invoice, John would provide detail backup, including his actual costs. John watched every penny as it was his own. Honesty and integrity in a home builder is crucial and John Ricci has it in spades.

John takes personal pride in all his work, and stands firmly behind it. I felt like I had a true partner in building my home. John is the nicest guy in the world to work with, as was everyone on his staff. He dedicated himself to building me the home I wanted.

I can highly recommend John Ricci.

Ricci construction has remodeled/redesigned 3 of our family homes over the years & we simply wouldn’t trust anyone else with the job.

John truly considers the lifestyle/needs of each family member and brilliantly blends them into the new design.

It is a seamless process from start to finish thanks to the effort & amazing talent of the entire Ricci Construction Team.

When one thinks of building or remodeling, it is crucial to hire a company that is proud of it’s brand. We found this to be true of the people behind Ricci Construction Group of Cheshire. John Ricci has put together a team of people who know the importance of being creative, on time, knowledgeable, and professional in completing their wok in a timely fashion. From his office staff to the field people, we found the Ricci folks to be helpful, not afraid to make constructive suggestions and in general, proud of their finished product. The Ricci Group remodeled our kitchen to a beautiful conclusion. They are people who stand behind their product and our proud of their brand.

JAD Partners had a vision to create a premier office building in Cheshire, CT. In obtaining our vision we interviewed several builders and obtained multiple bids. However it was Ricci Construction that stood out from the rest. John Ricci from Ricci Construction took his time to explain the building process. He was extremely patient and made himself available to answer all of our questions. John went out of his way to make sure we had access to his opinion and expertise.

Ricci Construction made sure that our 14,000+ sqft facility was constructed on time. At the beginning of our project a construction schedule was provided. John made sure that the construction schedule was adhered to by all parties so the building would be completed on time. Throughout the construction process, we were impressed with John’s knowledge and communication to make the process run so smoothly.

JAD Partners plans to construct a sister building on the adjacent lot. Because of the positive experience that was created by Ricci Construction, we plan on using them for our next project.
