He built a custom home for me in 2018. His flair for architectural style and décor was amazing... > > His professionalism helped me work though some challenges with the county. I love my house, thank you Ric! > > I would recommend him to anyone looking to remodel or build. **★★★★★ — Bespoke Woodwork, Feb. 2018** > Ric and his team build high quality homes. The thoughtfulness and attention to detail is evident from corner to corner and from floor to ceiling. The outdoor spaces are also carefully considered and beautifully functional. We collaborated recently on a large custom home in Albuquerque's north valley. Ric commissioned my company to build all his cabinetry and bespoke woodwork. The design/build process was very enjoyable, Ric had a strong vision but was open to ideas. The final result was a uniquely beautiful home that blends casual living with a sense of a grand history. We are thrilled to be a part of such a special home, and look forward to the next! **★★★★★ — suewinstead, March 2016** > Ric Rutherford is the general contractor on our 3000 sq ft home addition and renovation. My husband and I have renovated 4 homes and build one from the ground up prior to this project but have never had anyone as exceptional as Ric. He is not just professional; he is an expert at conceptual design, drawing, and managing all the many jobs required with the sub contractors. Our project involves adding onto a 23 year old adobe home which has been a massive undertaking. The new structures, including an indoor pool with retractable walls, has been very complicated. Ric has worked with us to create the most effective, efficient and beautiful hacienda imaginable. His knowledge and expertise is unparalleled. > I would recommend his company to anyone in the Albuquerque area considering new construction, a renovation or remodel. **★★★★★ — paulapie9000, Sept. 2015** > Ric Rutherford is the owner of his company. > We hired him, along with two other firms, to give us an estimate for a kitchen and master bath remodel. > Ric was professional, friendly and easy to work with.We had a great idea about what we wanted to do, but Ric had some more ideas and really helped us to realize our vision for the space. > We decided to table the complete work until next year, and hired his firm to do a couple of small jobs on the bathrooms, really to see his work ethic. > The jobs were done to a high standard with respect for the space. > There was a small accident in which a nightstand was damaged by a falling piece of lumber, and Ric took the nightstand and had it completely repaired in a timely manner. > We plan to hire Ric and his company next spring to do the kitchen and master bath, and will enthusiastically recommend his company to anyone needing a remodel. ## Selected projects - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchens-pj-vj~2246707) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: Parade of Homes Award-Winner - Best Kitchen - [Parade of Homes ~ Silver Award Winner](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/parade-of-homes--silver-award-winner-pj-vj~499728) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Living Rooms, Media Rooms & Office Spaces](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-rooms-media-rooms-and-office-spaces-pj-vj~693984) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Mediterranean Farm House Living Room, Double-Sided Steel Woodburning Fireplace, Custom Steel Mantle, Grey Clay Wall, Belgian Stone Accents, Quartzite Banco, French Limestone Floors, Su Casa Magazine Feature, Photo by 3-D Cats Studio - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathrooms-pj-vj~2356352) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Parade of Homes Award Winner - Spring 2018 - Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/parade-of-homes-award-winner-spring-2018-custom-home-pj-vj~5335956) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: 2018 Autumn Issue of Su Casa Magazine, Photography by Jerry Walters, Article written by Jessa Cast: 2018 Spring Parade of Homes Award Winner - [Yards and Patios](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/yards-and-patios-pj-vj~693987) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Before & After](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/before-and-after-pj-vj~2274715) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Outdoor Living, Pools & Spas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-living-pools-and-spas-pj-vj~2246731) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Garages](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garages-pj-vj~2258185) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 [See all 9 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/rutherford-design-and-construction-llc-pfvwus-pf~25984323) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/81853191/list/wish-list) — 2 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/rutherfordbuilt) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
