RALCO Builders dedication to building and remodeling quality homes and guaranteeing long term customer service isn’t just something our employees will say. Our past customers are an important part of the RALCO Builder’s family and share their experience working with RALCO Builders during their construction projects.
“In the fall of 2008, my wife and I began the project of our lifetime, building our dream beach house. This project was both exciting and daunting. Besides the most expensive purchase we have ever made, the decsions that needed to be made were overwhelming. We were very fortunate to have hired RALCO Builders and Neil Ducharme to be our contractor. Ellen and I feel the same, and more about the experience we have had with you. And as you know, you can always have a prospective customer call, or stop by for a rave review.”

RALCO (Neil Ducharme) did a complete “down to the studs” renovation of our 100 year old Jersey Cape in Manasquan. Our vision was to update our home without losing the integrity and feeling of an older home. We had several local contractors provide estimates, almost all of whom had more “experience” than Neil. But after checking references for each one, we quickly felt that Neil was the right choice. The three big factors for us were workmanship, budget and timing. All of Neil’s references glowed about his work, the fact he finished on time and was at or close to budget. The fact the he grew up in Rhode Island working on homes much older than ours made us feel comfortable too.
We had professional architectural plans that we thought were “perfect” but even before the project began, Neil pointed out some “obvious” flaws and began to suggest alternatives that he thought better fit our vision for the house. Even after the renovation was underway, Neil made other changes/enhancements to maximize spaces, enhance lighting and provide other resolutions before expensive change orders were necessary. He was experienced in dealing with whatever curveball our old house threw his way. Neil’s attention to detail and organization was quickly evident as well as his vision for the finished project. These qualities keep projects moving and enable him to hit deadlines. We were provided regular status updates and had a good level of communication. Sometimes, it is difficult for the homeowner to see the finish line but Neil was good at assuaging our concerns and being patient with us.
In the end, our dream home was finished precisely on-time and on-budget, well exceeding our expectations. Thanks Neil
