James Bailly — review for RIHI The Home Improvement Specialist
Julio and his team removed and replaced our very old roof and also installed gutters. They were here in mostly 30 degree weather over 4 days and were able to do an outstanding job. They also went above and beyond to remedy other issues as they arose. The final result was a beautiful Owens Corning roof which I will be proud to show because the team took the time to fix some smaller cosmetic problems only making the roof more impressive. This was not an easy job as there were several dormers and v... Read more

I have not had work done yet, but I would like to say the gentleman I just spoke to on the phone was very very polite! Sorry I didn’t get his name.
Feldman Family — review for RIHI The Home Improvement Specialist
I was exploring some exterior renovations for my home and spoke to Mike at RIHI about siding, windows, and roofing. Mike was extremely patient in his approach and spent a lot of time educating us on his products and the proper installation techniques for each of the projects we inquired about. Mike's knowledge of his vendor's products and his trades are extensive. I also appreciated the detailed quote he prepared, which he walked us through line by line, answering all of our questions throu... Read more

Super professional and informative. I’m not moving forward with them because the cost during a pandemic was outrageous and can’t justify it all
Mike Longenbaker — review for RIHI The Home Improvement Specialist
We wanted to replace our shower with a new Luxstone shower from Kohler. We did not choose RIHI. We engaged in an excellent personal sales presentation in which their sales representative did a good job to help us confirm our needs and come up with a great project design. WE WERE SET TO BUY until the pricing for our small project was revealed at the end. Unfortunately, we considered the price to be so high, that it was exorbitant. We were willing to pay a premium price, but it was way above ou... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

We have been a family-owned home improvement company serving Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut since 1949, and three generations of the Aurgemma family have built our reputation on one principle: use the best U.S.-made materials and stand behind every job. We have served over 75,000 homeowners across the region, earned recognition as a Top National Remodeler, and hold an A+ BBB rating. What keeps customers coming back is simple: we treat every homeowner like family, and we offer a No-Hassle, No-Nonsense Warranty on all our work because we do not walk away when the job is done.

We handle a full range of exterior and interior home improvement services throughout Rhode Island, southern Massachusetts, and eastern Connecticut. On the exterior, we install roofing, vinyl and composite siding, replacement windows in multiple styles including double hung, casement, bay, bow, picture, and slider, and custom ProVia entry and patio doors. Inside, we remodel kitchens from top to bottom including cabinets, flooring, countertops, and islands, offer cabinet refacing as a more affordable alternative, and renovate bathrooms including full tub-to-shower conversions. Whether you need one project or want to refresh your entire home, we are a single trusted contractor with over 75 years of experience who can handle it all.

Every project we complete, large or small, comes with our No-Hassle, No-Nonsense Warranty. This means if anything we install does not perform to your expectation, you call us and we take care of it, full stop. We are a family business that has been in Southern New England since 1949, and we plan to be here long after your project is finished. That kind of longevity is something most contractors simply cannot offer, and it is one of the main reasons homeowners trust us with their biggest investment.

Every project is different depending on the scope, materials, and size of your home, which is why we always start with a free, risk-free in-home estimate so you know exactly what to expect before committing to anything. We also offer up to 100 percent financing for all qualified customers, so you do not have to delay necessary repairs or improvements because of upfront costs. Our specialists will walk you through all available options during your consultation so you can make the decision that works best for your budget.

The PROTEC composite vinyl siding we install is in a different category from what most competitors use. It is over 300 percent stronger than fiber cement, blocks 45 percent more outdoor noise than standard vinyl, includes Neopor foam insulation for improved thermal performance, and comes in 22 color options that are guaranteed never to fade, peel, or require repainting for the life of your home. Add to that our No-Hassle, No-Nonsense Warranty and our decades of installation experience handling New England's extreme weather conditions, and the difference becomes clear pretty quickly.
