Customer Reviews

Arturo Garcia

We had a great experience working with Luke. He gave our office and master bedroom a great refresh! Between the office and master bedroom, Luke replaced a window, installed LVP flooring, added recessed lighting, handled new drywall and insulation, and put in a new sliding door. Everything Luke did in our home was done with care and respect for our home. For example, he and his crew wore booties every day, kept the workspace clean by installing ram board to keep the floor clean, and were always considerate. I also really appreciated how he took the time to explain things as the project progressed and even answered a bunch of unrelated questions I had about the house. Overall, super professional, easy to work with, and someone we’d happily hire again.

I was looking for a general contractor to help with some doors and windows, so I reached out to Luke from Richard Contracting. He did such a great job that I ended up having him do my roof as well. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and kept the job site clean. I highly recommend Luke for any of your construction needs—he truly delivers quality work.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr. Richard on this great looking project in Rancho Bernardo. He built a new pergola and patio roof that needed lighting and outlets, also some solar. I am an electrician and Mr. Richard made the job as easy as possible for me. The job side was always ran professionally and kept clean. I noticed he had great communication with the customers which also made the job move smoothly. When you walk into the project it makes you say “WOW” because of how impressive the structures are and how perfectly they enhance the backyard. Mr. Richard is fast and efficient and is always willing to lend a hand with my work as well. Overall it was a great experience and I look forward to working on another project with Richard General Contracting

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Richard General Contracting handle permits?

The company says it handles permit drawings, submittals and inspections.

How long does an ADU project take?

The company estimates roughly six to nine months from start to finish, with much of the early period spent on paperwork rather than construction.

How long do patio covers or pergolas take?

After permits are in hand and materials are on site, most freestanding pavilions and attached patio covers take two to four weeks. The company estimates about a week more if the project needs electrical work, lighting or a built-in barbecue.

What happens if hidden damage is found during a project?

The company says it stops, photographs the issue, shows it to the customer and prices the repair before continuing. It says the revised amount is written down and approved before work proceeds.
