Proudly serving Northern Virginia for over a decade, Ricky Can Build It employs the Design + Build philosophy for client projects. The result? A collaborative, transparent approach that puts our clients first. Rather than hiring a designer and shopping that design to numerous contractors for estimates, we bring it all together for you.
We bring the design team, project managers, and tradespeople all under one roof. Instead of subcontracting out the work, we uniquely provide all trades in-house, allowing us to control quality, keep costs down, and meet project deadlines. One point of contact means a streamlined process with infinite design possibilities.

Ricky-Can-Build-It recently did a complete renovation of our master bathroom and powder room. To say that we are pleased with their work is an understatement. From the initial meeting with the company owner to the final clean up once the project was completed, everything was accomplished in an outstanding manner...exceeding our expectations. Ricky is an amazing company owner, a great communicator and highly adept at problem solving. Additionally, his willingness to accompany us and provide his expertise during the selection of the major items, i.e. floor & wall tile, countertop, tub and

Bottom line: Ricky Can Build It is a high quality, dependable contractor. Ricky hires great people to produce a great project on time and on budget.
In 2017-2018, we worked with Ricky on an extensive remodel and addition of our 1940s townhome, including a new kitchen and 2.5 bathrooms. It was six-figure, five-month project that encountered many challenges along the way--mostly relating to issues endemic in any old home. At every point, Ricky and his team were calm, professional and adept in handling the issues and finding solutions.
I interviewed ~15 different contractors before choosing Ricky

Ricky and his team performed a complete kitchen renovation, solid hardwood floor installation throughout the house, relocation of a laundry room, and various other jobs including painting and door replacements. It was a rather extensive project for us, as this is the first house we’ve owned and the first time we’ve ever experienced all that goes into having your home renovated. It is a time consuming and labor intensive process, for sure. Having lived with the completed renovation for about 7 months now, we continue to be extremely happy with the work completed. We highly recommend Ricky Can

We hired Ricky to renovate our entire house -- basement, first floor, and half of the second floor. He and his crew were helpful, professional, and quality-conscious. They uncovered several issues with a previous owner's remodel which were important to correct. The quality of Ricky's work was very high and we were happy with the result. Be sure to check out Ricky Can Build It!

After meeting with several contractors and design-build companies we chose to partner with Ricky for our three-story addition to our rowhouse in Old Town. I’m happy to say we are more than pleased with the results.
Initial Consultations. While other contractors would come in and immediately talk about expanding our vision (and increasing our bottom line), Ricky focused on our budget and what we could do within those parameters. Nearly every other contractor we met with (more than 6) would only provide a very generic estimate and would not move any further with us in terms of providing even a

Ricky and his team are true professionals. They were respectful of our home during the renovation project. We had an additional added above the garage that included a master suite and an additional bathroom. Ricky provided all of the details up front and remained within budget. I'd highly recommend him for your next home rehab.

Description of work: 1950's rambler complete kitchen remodel, remove load bearing walls and add beam, remodel bathroom, new exterior patio door, new roof, floating dormer, added front porch with gable roof addition, new Hardie siding.
Ricky Can Build It (RCBI) does great work. Prompt, professional, accurate, knowledgeable is how I would describe RCBI overall. We actually started communicating with the owner, aptly named Ricky, while I was overseas and he was still willing to discuss our project. Ricky met or came in under all of his quotes. I also feel he is almost a construction savant

Ricky Can Build It remodeled our hall bathroom and did a phenomenal job all in eight work days and on budget! After having worked with another company in the past on a different bathroom remodel, this experience was night and day. First, Francisco and his crew (Jose, William, Miguel, Andreas, Dave) were ALL skilled and did not cut corners, completing the work according to industry standards. For example, we didn't have to worry about whether they would waterproof the entire tub surround--they did it without question or complaint. The crew was also incredibly courteous, diligent in their work, and

I've had Ricky's crew work on two different properties now and they've always done great work. Most recently I had a water heater go bad, flooding my family room. Ricky's team replaced the carpet with tile that looks like wood. It looks amazing now, much better than before, and most people don't even realize they're walking on tile.

We worked with Ricky to renovate two bathrooms (master and guest) and could not be happier with the results! From start to finish, working with Ricky was a great experience. Ricky was responsive, straightforward, and helpful, and he truly has an encyclopedic knowledge of his craft. He was also one of the only contractors we spoke to who gave us total creative flexibility to choose the designs we wanted - he listened, gave helpful suggestions, and then he made it all happen. We are also thrilled with his team; they were always on time, professional, and friendly - and the quality of their work is

We used Ricky Can Build It for a garage renovation. Ricky and his crew were awesome. Ricky was super responsive to questions and attentive to the finer details of the job. His crew showed up on time, did a great job and were super nice and polite. We ended up on budget even with several changes. We will definitely hire Ricky for any future jobs we have!

Quality of work, price, and time were the top priorities for us when selecting a contractor to do our home renovation. My wife and I recently purchased a new house in Lake Ridge, Virginia and wanted to remodel the kitchen, master bathroom, and a guest bathroom. We are new to the area and have never had so much work done to a house we've owned so we did not know what to expect. We got several quotes from different contractors located in the Northern Virginia area to do the work we requested. While we felt confident in several of the contractors who provided quotes we decided to hire (Ricky

We could not have been happier with the work that Ricky and his crew did on our master bathroom renovation. Ricky was on top of every detail and was a great resource for all of the materials we needed. He was instrumental in helping us to pick out the tile, cabinets, bath tub, etc. Everyone on Ricky's team was neat, punctual and courteous. Ricky went over and beyond normal prep to accommodate a family member with allergy issues. We love the final product and would definitely recommend Ricky Can Build It!

We worked with Ricky on a master bathroom remodel. Ricky and his team made the process seamless for us: they anticipated any issues, proactively brought them to our attention, and we solved them together. I've done a couple renovations and this was by far the best experience. His team is trust worthy, great to talk with, and very skilled at their work. They were super respectful of the house and our dog, which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend this company and we plan on hiring them for future projects. We are thrilled with our bathroom.

We hired Ricky to build our new kitchen, bringing it from the 80s into the the current era. We interviewed half a dozen contractors, and Ricky stood out for several reasons. He was extremely professional and personable. He was polite and ready to share lots of information about possibilities. He gave us solutions where none had seemed to exist. His price was reasonable. And finally, he genuinely wanted our business. And that last one did it for me.
When work started, his crew was again extremely professional and considerate of our home and our family. His crew showed up on the dot every
