About Us

RIHI The Home Improvement Specialist – a business of passion

history of rhode island home improvement

About seventy-seven years ago, the Aurgemma family founded RIHI The Home Improvement Specialist – what has come to be known as RIHI, with a single mission.

That mission has led us through thick and thin, and allowed us to end up on top every time:

To beautify homes throughout New England.

It’s simple – with a passion for making Southern New England homes beautiful, we’ve positioned all facets of our family business to serve that one purpose. With that purpose in mind, we’ve grown our family exponentially over the years.

With RIHI, you’re more than a customer – you’re Family

As a family-owned business, we value long-term relationships. That’s why – when you’re a customer of RIHI – you become a part of our family.

Becoming part of our family means we stay with you through thick and thin. To support that promise, we offer a  No Hassle, Non-Nonsense Warranty on all the work we put into your home.

A legacy of excellence 77 years in the making

While brothers John and Anthony Aurgemma took over the family some time ago, RIHI was always built around a commitment to fostering relationships for the long term.

That’s why our most important advertising tool is our customers – we believe the best way to get the word out is to do work worth talking about. Built from the American tradition of hard work and quality results, RIHI has beautified over 50,000 homes since opening in 1949.

How we built our family

A seventy-five-year legacy is not easy to build, but three generations of our family made it happen.

This legacy is built from honoring promises, building with the best, and delivering every time, on time. Our specialists will realize your vision no matter the hurdles – as expert home designers, there is no challenge too difficult to conceptualize.

The best U.S.-made materials are put into every single job we do. We believe this is the only way to do the best work – with the best materials possible.

Our financing is available so you don’t have to wait for crucial repairs to your home.

If your roof is leaking, it needs to be fixed as soon as possible to avoid rot throughout the house. If your windows are coming apart at the seams, you’re throwing money out the window – especially in winter and summer, when utility bills are highest.

See what our extended family has to say about our work!

My name is Dan Vargas and this is my wife Joanne. We recently had a project done by RIHI where they replaced all of the windows in our home.

And I can’t tell you how happy we are with every single aspect of the project from the presales to the sales to the installation.

It has met and exceeded every one of our expectations.
— Dan & Joanne Vargas

Everyone from the person that answered the phone to the gentleman that came to my home was courteous and went out of their way to make sure I was happy. I could not have asked for better treatment.

On top of that they fixed my problem within a day. I am thrilled I chose them to buy my windows from for just this reason.

— Howard Schaffer

My husband and I have recently had the pleasure of having work done by RIHI. We actually had all of our windows replaced. Honestly, we have nothing but good things to say about this company.

Any questions or problems we had were handled in a timely fashion and with the greatest of professionalism, as well as being addressed in a courteous manner…even with a smile, which is rare. We would, without hesitation, recommend this company to anyone.

— Patricia & Kevin H.

I found the men who installed my windows were very courteous, professional and neat. You knew that they knew what they were doing.

— Patricia Bacon

My name is Clarico Santiago, and this is my wife Stella Santiago. We’re from Providence.

We’re very happy with the customer service, as well, with the windows as well as the customer service.

We called John over and he came right over and helped us fit into our budget, which is great.

We’re very happy with RIHI and the service they rendered. They are very professional and courteous and we recommend them to all our friends and families.

— Clarico & Stella Santiago

Thank you all for your siding services and help. The service provided over exceeded my expectations and was a very well done job. The Contractor was great and gets two thumbs up from me and my wife. Your service is excellent and I will recommend you to anyone that asks.
