Rickard Construction is based in Hull, MA. Eric Rickard holds Massachusetts home improvement contractor licence 165084, active on the state registry. Its BuildZoom profile describes Eric P Rickard as serving Hull, with 14 years in business and a focus on single-family homes. In a 2023 review, Eric essentially remodeled a family's entire home, with new windows, siding, roof, a finished basement and a deck. That 2023 review called him meticulous, timely and efficient, and said he brought the project in close to budget. Another 2023 review says he built an addition that was finished on time and under budget, and that he answers emails, texts and phone calls promptly. A 2023 review describes a major renovation after extensive damage from a burst water pipe, covering multiple floors, bathrooms and the kitchen; it calls the finish carpentry excellent and says Eric was on top of all of the suppliers through supply chain issues. A family that had Eric work on 3 major projects wrote in 2023 that he always does what he says he will do and gets it done when he says he will. A 2023 review of Eric and crew says they were always on time and discussed all aspects of the job before decisions were made. In 2017, a BuildZoom review called the work good, very responsive and at a fair price. In a 2022 review, he came to estimate a job and said he'd be back on a certain day, then did not show or call, and a message left for him got no response.
Eric has worked on 3 major projects for our family and that fact alone should be all you need to know about his credibility. If you want high quality work, reasonable and flexible cost and project management, great communication of all current and future schedules understood by all, and expectations managed and met, plus a great group of vetted subcontractors coupled with an ethic of ownership of the project as if it were his own,..(good luck finding that combination while you are collecting random quotes) Rickard Construction comes highly recommended by us.. Eric always does what he says he will do, and gets it done when he says he will. Not much more you can ask for. Paul Butler Hull, Ma
Eric, essentially remodeled our entire home. New windows, siding, roof, finished basement, deck, etc. He was meticulous, his workmanship and attention to detail was excellent. He was timely and efficient and provided many recommendations that we hadn't thought of and he brought the entire project in close to budget. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and have since recommended him to many of our neighbors.
I have known Eric for years, and have referred him to many people. He built the addition on my house, which was finished on time under budget with no drama! He answers, emails and texts and phone calls promptly and I would trust him with any job you need done.
I worked with Eric at Rickard Construction on a major renovation at my home after extensive damage from a burst water pipe; multiple floors, bathrooms, kitchen, etc. I reached out to Eric based on a recommendation from a neighbor; he was responsive, communicative throughout and the end result is stunning. The finish carpentry is excellent. I dealt with this through supply chain issues last year, Eric was on top of all of the suppliers and, again, communicated clearly with me throughout the process. I will definitely work with him on my next (planned) project. Highly recommend!
Eric and crew are extremely professional. Always on time and show up each day. Discuss all aspects of the job with us before decisions are made. Would not use anyone else!!!
