Our Reputation is Built on Our Commitment to

  • Quality

    At R. Shea Construction, we meet and exceed the most demanding quality standards. Architects and owners can rely on us to produce work of precision and beauty.

  • Relationships

    Respect is the basis for all our relationships, extending to every aspect of the project and beyond. We work diligently to understand the needs of our clients and their architects. Our process considers all the effort, time, and resources that clients invest in home projects. Our smart, responsible, and friendly staff is trained to anticipate our clients’ needs with the goal of exceeding expectations.

  • Sustainability

    Sustainability is a buzzword that is meaningless without a plan. We work with the Building Science Corporation to consult on every aspect of the building shell. This means developing a strategy for maximum efficiency, executing that plan, and having third-party verification. We also consult with mechanical engineers early in the process to ensure that your home’s indoor environment is a place that promotes health and well-being.

Kind Words from Our Clients + Partners

  •  “My home was designed to be prefabricated at a factory and put together at a rocky site in Cold Spring NY in 2008, right before a massive economic downturn. The prefab home manufacturer went out of business and took our money. Fortunately, we had chosen Richard Shea to build our home, and he put together a team of consultants and subcontractors to seamlessly finish the construction of our home on schedule and under the original budget. I am proud to say that my home has been published in nearly a dozen architecture magazines around the world, and I feel fortunate to have teamed up with Richard Shea and his team to build my home.” 

    — Ulises Liceaga Architect + Homeowner

  • “As an out-of-town architect, finding a local contractor to work with is always a challenge. Richard and his crew have proven to be a great choice. Armed with a positive, can-do spirit, they are team players, working with the clients and my firm to ensure the best results by working with us to solve problems when they inevitably arise and suggesting alternative approaches.”

    — Tim Mohr Architect

  •  “The best decision we ever made was choosing Richard Shea to build our house.  He was fully engaged in the project from day one, had creative ideas about everything from spatial solutions to building materials to fixtures and beyond.  He kept on schedule, and his guys were first-rate artisans who were fun to be around.  He has gone on to build things 100 times larger than our home, but in everyone of his projects that attention to detail, old world sense of craftsmanship, and honorable commitment to making things right shines through.” 

    — Stephen Ives and Anne Symmes Homeowners
