Rick Bainbridge Crew grew up in Buffalo, New York, in a family where building was a way of life. With more than 100 years of construction history behind him, he learned early that good work speaks for itself. Faith, discipline, and responsibility shaped his childhood, along with a love of basketball that stayed with him through college at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
In 1996, Rick moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, drawn by growth and possibility. Over the next two decades, he helped lead one of the region’s most respected design-build remodelling firms. The company became known for its in-house design team, strong systems, and consistent results. Industry awards followed, but Rick stayed focused on the work itself.
After closing that business in 2016, Rick stepped away from the industry. The break did not last long. People kept asking for his help. In 2018, he founded RCB Construction Management with a quieter, more personal approach. He now handles every estimate himself and supervises every project from start to finish.
Rick’s work centres on kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and outdoor spaces—areas that shape daily life. Outside of construction, he enjoys opera, antique cars, Italian food, travel, and staying active. He supports causes such as St Jude and the V Foundation. Known for his calm presence and steady judgement, Rick continues to build spaces—and a career—grounded in care, patience, and pride.
