Rich Home BLDG & Development

Rich Home Building and Development is a family-owned business with over 40 years of experience in custom home building. Founded by John Rich Jr., the company has grown from its humble beginnings as a remodeling company to become a leading provider of high-end custom homes in Utica and the surrounding areas. John's vision was to create homes that not only met but exceeded his clients' expectations, combining traditional styles with modern techniques and materials. This commitment to excellence has earned Rich Home Building a reputation for delivering exceptional quality and attention to detail in every project.

John's passion for building began early, inspired by his father and grandfather who were also entrepreneurs. After completing his education, he started his career in the wood products manufacturing industry before deciding to venture into home building. With his partner and cousin, Paul Rich, they began constructing traditionally styled colonial spec homes in Utica. As the company grew, they developed a specialization in post and beam construction and rustic detailing, which opened up new opportunities with a diverse clientele.

Today, Rich Home Building and Development is renowned for its unique and authentically accurate design elements, particularly in the Adirondack style. John and Paul's dedication to mastering this style has earned them a strong presence in the region, with a focus on energy-efficient designs that blend the warmth and ambiance of the past with modern techniques. Their commitment to quality, attention to detail, and passion for building have made Rich Home Building a trusted name in the industry.
