ABOUT RGC

Experience

I found my love for Building in South Lake Tahoe, CA. I started out framing custom homes for smaller contractors but always had an interest to work on large union projects. Becoming a Journeyman Carpenter recognized throughout the Carpenters Union was an amazing goal to accomplish, but I eventually gave into my burning desire to start my own business and pursue my own dreams. Founding Richard General Contracting has been a true dream and vision of mine for a very long time, and it amazes me everday to see it have come to fruition. All Glory to God.

I Love to Build! Building a well made, long lasting and quality product is my passion! I used my family crest for the inspiration to create the logo of Richard General Contracting to remind myself to treat every customer as family and to put my reputation behind my work. A wise friend once told me to run my business by one simple phrase - "Under Promise and Over Deliver."
