Verified record
RIHI - The Home Improvement Specialist is a 77-year-old family business — the Aurgemma family says it opened in 1949 and has grown into a three-generation operation now co-run by brothers John and Anthony Aurgemma. Its Wrentham showroom is part of a wider, Rhode-Island-headquartered company that installs windows, roofing, siding, doors, kitchens and bathrooms across Rhode Island, southeastern Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut. The company's own numbers are notable — it says it has worked on 50,000 to 75,000 homes over seven decades — but there is no independent customer feedback on file for this location to weigh against that history. The strongest outside confirmation is a late-2025 trade-press feature that named co-president John Aurgemma, tying the family to the business's long run in home improvement. Before booking, it's worth knowing the company lists Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut contractor registration numbers on its own site, but none of them have been checked against a state registry yet — treat them as claims to verify, not confirmed licenses. It also says it is an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred installer and holds a Lead Renovation Firm certification. Anyone nearby considering RIHI for a window, roofing, siding, kitchen or bathroom job should ask for the specific registration numbers and confirm they're current, and, since there isn't yet an independent review history for this location, ask for references from recent Massachusetts jobs.
