“You can’t do epic sh*t with basic people.”
— Unknown

Jim’s dedication to craftsmanship and his extensive experience make him an invaluable member of the RIKB team. Surrounded by family members in the trades and inspired by his father’s resourcefulness, Jim developed a passion for building and fixing things early on. After earning a BS in Marketing from Bryant University, he initially pursued a sales career. However, Jim’s true calling emerged, leading him to start his own finish carpentry and cabinet-making business. Over three years, he honed his skills in design, fabrication, and installation of custom cabinets and displays. He then transitioned to commercial and residential interior remodeling, where he accumulated eight years of experience. His precision and attention to detail have consistently resulted in remarkable spaces that exceed clients’ expectations.

Leveraging his extensive construction knowledge, he ensures smooth operations and oversees projects from start to finish. Outside of work, Jim enjoys quality time with his wife and four boys, has a passion for music and concerts, and often undertakes “little projects” around the house. He also finds solace in the serene beauty of Cape Cod.

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending” – C.S. Lewis

Craig’s interest in remodeling began early, as he spent many hours observing and assisting his parents at their family-owned kitchen dealership. After graduating from Guilford College, he followed the calling and worked for a builder for a couple of years before moving to New York City. After three years in the big city, he returned to South Eastern Massachusetts to begin his own finish carpentry business, where he installed cabinetry and remodeled and built new homes for over eight years.

Passionate about collaborating with our clients to provide creative solutions, Craig brings his four years of experience as an industry-leading manufacturer’s rep to RIKB. His specialties range from kitchens, bathrooms, room additions, and master suites, to multi-room and whole house renovations. He knows the ins and outs of the complex remodeling process, and his customer-centric approach allows him to be a client advocate from beginning to end, providing a seamless experience from design to project completion. Outside the office, Craig is equally passionate about his home and enjoys completing home and gardening projects, cooking, and spending time with his family.
