Rich Sullivan Construction

We hired Richard Sullivan Construction for a flooring renovation in the room that opens out to our pool area, and we’re genuinely impressed with the finished result. This was one of those projects where the difference is in the details—and Richard clearly takes pride in doing things the right way. The job started with removing the old hardwood floor and getting everything properly prepped so the new install would lay flat and stay that way. What stood out immediately was how careful and methodical the work was. Nothing felt rushed, and it was obvious the goal wasn’t just “new floors,” but a finished space that looks clean, balanced, and professionally executed. The centerpiece of the project is the custom double herringbone picture-frame design around the fireplace. That kind of detail work shows whether someone really knows what they’re doing, and it came out beautifully. The pattern is perfectly aligned, the spacing is consistent, the cuts are clean, and the whole layout is symmetrical. It makes the fireplace feel like it was always meant to be the focal point of the room, and it adds a custom look that completely changes the feel of the space. From there, Richard installed ¾-inch pre-finished hardwood throughout the rest of the room, and the layout was done thoughtfully so everything flows the way it should. The transition where the wood butts up to the tile near the bar area is seamless. That’s a spot where you often see awkward trim, uneven lines, or gaps—none of that here. Everything meets cleanly, the lines are straight, and it looks intentional, not improvised. On the practical side: the pricing was solid, the timeline was exactly what we were told to expect, and the job moved along efficiently without sacrificing quality. And the cleanup deserves its own mention—this was a full demo and install, but the space was kept impressively tidy throughout. At the end of each day, it never felt like we were living inside a construction mess, which makes a huge difference when it’s your actual home. Richard was easy to work with from start to finish—clear communication, reliable scheduling, and real professionalism. The final product looks sharp, feels solid, and has already gotten plenty of compliments from family and friends. If you’re in the Lowell / Merrimack Valley area and want flooring work done with real precision and attention to detail, I highly recommend Richard Sullivan Construction. We’d hire him again without hesitation.

I hired Rich to remodel my 1st floor rental unit in Lowell. The work entailed paining walls, trim and doors. Carpet installation in two rooms. Some light electrical work. Hanging a screen door and a bunch of odds and ends. He was clear about the scope of work and got the job done ahead of schedule. I was very happy with the results and expect to use him again in the future.
