Who We Are

Richard & Harry Contractor Group:

Two Decades of Craftsmanship, Integrity and City‑Leading Quality

For more than twenty years, the Richard & Harry Contractor Group has built its reputation on a simple but unwavering promise: deliver exceptional workmanship, honor every commitment and treat every home as if it were our own.  Founded by two craftsmen who believed that quality should never be optional, the company has grown into one of the most respected names in construction and home renovation in the region.  What began as a small partnership fueled by skill and determination has evolved into a full‑service contracting group known for precision, professionalism and results that stand the test of time.

At the heart of our success is a philosophy rooted in pride; pride in our craft, pride in our team and pride in the trust our clients place in us.  Over the past decade, we have completed hundreds of projects ranging from full‑scale home renovations to custom builds, kitchen and bathroom transformations, structural repairs and specialized upgrades.  Our clients consistently return to us because they know that when Richard & Harry Contractor Group is on the job, the work will be done right the first time.

Our team includes a master plumber and a master electrician, each fully licensed, rigorously trained and committed to upholding the highest standards of safety and compliance.  In an industry where shortcuts can lead to costly mistakes, we take the opposite approach.  We follow the law, adhere to all building codes and bring every project, no matter its size, up to proper standards.  When we encounter work that was previously done incorrectly or out of compliance, we don’t just fix the problem.  We restore integrity to the structure and peace of mind to the homeowner.  Our clients know that our expertise protects their investment and ensures long‑term durability.

What truly sets us apart is the combination of technical mastery and genuine care. We believe that craftsmanship is not only about skill with tools but also about respect; respect for the home, the client, the timeline and the vision.  Every project begins with a conversation, not a template.  We listen closely to what our clients want, offer honest guidance and collaborate to create solutions that are both beautiful and functional.  Whether we are modernizing a historic property, expanding a family home, or building something entirely new, we approach each project with the same level of dedication and attention to detail.

Our reputation as the best work in the city is not a slogan.  It is a standard we work to uphold every day.  We have earned that standing through consistent excellence, transparent communication and a commitment to delivering results that exceed expectations.  Clients often tell us that what they appreciate most is our reliability. We show up when we say we will, we keep our word and we stand behind our work long after the project is complete.  In an industry where trust is everything, we have built ours brick by brick.

Over the years, we have expanded our services to meet the evolving needs of homeowners.  Today, the Richard & Harry Contractor Group offers comprehensive construction and renovation solutions, including structural framing, plumbing, electrical work, flooring, roofing, siding, drywall, painting, custom carpentry and full‑scale remodeling.  Our integrated approach allows us to manage every aspect of a project with precision and efficiency, eliminating delays and ensuring a seamless experience for our clients.

We also take pride in staying ahead of industry trends and innovations.  From energy‑efficient systems to modern design materials, we continuously update our knowledge and techniques to provide clients with the best options available.  Our master tradesmen bring decades of combined experience to every job, but they also bring curiosity and a commitment to learning which are qualities that keep our work fresh, relevant and aligned with the highest standards of modern construction.

As we look ahead to the next decade, our mission remains unchanged: to deliver exceptional craftsmanship, uphold the highest standards of safety and compliance, and continue earning the trust of homeowners throughout the DC Metro Area and Pennsylvania.  The Richard & Harry Contractor Group is more than a business.  It is a legacy of quality, built on hard work, honesty and a deep respect for the homes we are entrusted to transform.

For clients seeking the best work in the city, a team that stands behind every nail and every beam, and a contractor who treats every project with the seriousness it deserves, the Richard & Harry Contractor Group is the clear choice.  We build with integrity.  We renovate with precision.  And, we take pride in every project we complete.
