From individual rooms to complete transformations — every project is personally planned, supervised, and delivered by Rick Ruzanski, CKBR.
Rick's deep expertise as a Certified Kitchen & Bath Remodeler means your kitchen project benefits from thoughtful space planning, professional cabinet layout, and a refined eye for materials and finishes. We handle everything from first sketch to final appliance installation.
Every bathroom renovation begins with a complete teardown — no surface-level shortcuts. We rebuild with precision: waterproofing, tile layout, custom shower enclosures, and fixtures selected to match your vision and lifestyle.
Rick drafts architectural plans in-house, ensuring your addition integrates seamlessly with your existing home — structurally, aesthetically, and functionally. Whether it's a family room, a second story, or a three-season sunroom, the details are right.
When your home needs more than one room refreshed, Detailed Builders provides comprehensive project management across every trade. Rick coordinates all subcontractors, maintains quality control throughout, and ensures every space connects cohesively.
An unfinished basement is untapped living space. Detailed Builders designs and builds functional, beautiful lower levels — from wet bars and home theaters to home offices, full bathrooms, and guest suites built to the same quality standard as the floors above.
Your home's exterior is its first impression. Rick applies the same level of precision and craftsmanship outdoors — from dramatic custom porticos and roofing details to siding, gutters, decks, and trim that protect and transform how your home looks from the street.
