Built on Craftsmanship, Personal Service, and Lasting Results

RM Building, LLC was built from a passion for creating outdoor spaces that bring families together and add long-term value to their homes. What started as a summer job eventually became a career dedicated to residential construction, custom carpentry, and outdoor living projects throughout Connecticut. Over the years, we recognized that many homeowners were looking for something different from the larger construction companies they encountered. They wanted direct communication, quality workmanship, and a builder who remained involved throughout the project rather than handing it off to multiple crews.

Today, we specialize in custom deck construction, composite decking systems, deck replacements, restorations, multi-level decks, outdoor entertainment areas, custom seating, and exterior improvements. Our focus is on helping homeowners create outdoor spaces that improve the way they use and enjoy their property. Whether we are replacing an aging deck, designing a multi-level outdoor living space, addressing structural concerns, or incorporating custom features, our goal remains the same: build something that serves the homeowner well for years to come.

One thing that sets us apart is our hands-on approach. RM Building, LLC remains primarily owner-operated, with Ryan McConnell personally involved throughout the process. Homeowners work directly with the person designing, planning, and building the project. This allows for better communication, greater attention to detail, and a level of accountability that is often difficult to find elsewhere.

As a Certified Trex Installer with nearly a decade of experience, we help homeowners invest in outdoor spaces designed for long-term performance and reduced maintenance. Beyond decks, we are also known for solving structural issues that other contractors may avoid, including rot damage, deteriorated framing, water intrusion concerns, and exterior structural repairs. These experiences have strengthened our ability to identify underlying issues and build solutions that protect the long-term integrity of the property.

We proudly serve homeowners throughout Ellington, CT, Avon, CT, Hartford, CT, and Central Connecticut, including, Farmington, Simsbury, Canton, Burlington, Granby, Bloomfield, Windsor, South Windsor, Glastonbury, Newington, Rocky Hill, Plainville, Bristol, and Unionville. Every project is approached with the same commitment to craftsmanship, communication, and dependable service.

Our Values

Craftsmanship First

Quality construction starts with attention to detail. Every project we complete is built with the understanding that homeowners are making a significant investment in their property. From structural framing and material selection to finishing details and project execution, we focus on building outdoor spaces designed for long-term performance. We believe craftsmanship is more than appearance alone. It also means taking the time to ensure structures are properly supported, code-compliant, and built with materials suited to the homeowner’s goals. Because we remain directly involved in our projects, we can maintain consistency throughout construction and address concerns before they become larger problems. This commitment to craftsmanship extends across everything we build, whether it is a custom deck, a composite decking installation, a multi-level outdoor living area, or a structural repair project. We take pride in delivering work that homeowners can enjoy for many years while knowing the project was completed with care and attention to detail.

One of the most common frustrations homeowners experience during construction projects is poor communication. Questions go unanswered, schedules become unclear, and project details are passed between multiple people. We built RM Building, LLC around a different approach. Because Ryan works directly with homeowners, communication remains straightforward throughout the entire process. Clients know who they are working with and who is responsible for the project. We take time to discuss goals, explain available options, and provide realistic expectations before construction begins. During the project, we continue those conversations to ensure everyone remains informed about progress and important decisions. This direct relationship helps reduce misunderstandings while creating a more positive experience from consultation through completion. We believe accountability matters, especially when homeowners trust us with a major investment. By staying involved and maintaining open communication, we create stronger working relationships and better project outcomes.

No two properties are exactly alike, and no two homeowners use their outdoor space in the same way. That is why we avoid one-size-fits-all solutions. Every project begins with understanding how the homeowner wants to use the space today and how those needs may evolve in the future. Some clients prioritize entertaining, while others want a low-maintenance outdoor area, improved safety, or additional room for family gatherings. Our role is to listen, evaluate the property, and develop a plan that supports those goals. This personalized approach often leads to better long-term results because the finished project is designed around real needs rather than assumptions. Whether we are building a custom deck, replacing an aging structure, installing composite materials, or creating an outdoor entertainment area, our focus remains on delivering practical solutions that fit the property, the budget, and the homeowner’s vision. Every decision is made with long-term value and usability in mind.

Meet Our Team

RM Building, LLC operates with a small-team approach that allows us to remain involved in every stage of the project. Rather than managing multiple crews across dozens of jobs at once, we focus on providing direct communication and personalized attention for each homeowner we work with. This approach helps ensure quality workmanship, consistent project oversight, and a better overall customer experience. When you work with RM Building, LLC, you are working directly with the people responsible for planning and building your project. Our goal is to create outdoor spaces that reflect the homeowner’s vision while maintaining the craftsmanship and attention to detail that have helped us build lasting relationships throughout Connecticut.
