About Us

The Origin Story

Ben Rickard (Owner) started his construction career as a 17 year old residential framer in 1990. After starting his own framing company in 1996 Ben and his crew have framed countless residential homes spanning Western Washington and even framing homes in Japan. You can find his work on the 18 hole on the Snoqualmie Ridge Golf course, to full remodels across the Seattle-Tacoma area.

A New Direction in 2014

In 2014, a pivotal shift in focus was made, transitioning from home framing to specializing in custom deck construction and design. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, RCDC has an extensive track record in the field giving a distinctive competitive edge when it comes to building exceptional decks.
