Testimonials
“Building my first brick and mortar was overwhelming, but Kwame and his crew made it feel manageable. They didn’t just build the space, they helped me through design, inspections, even getting my liquor license. They really cared about seeing me succeed, and that made all the difference”
Pretty Little Tacos
“Working with Richards & Company felt more like working with a partner than a contractor. Kwame and his team really took the time to understand my vision and made it happen. From the buildout to handling the permits & vendors. They went above and beyond, and I honestly couldn’t have opened without them.”
