MEET THE OWNER
Rico Sikora Owner · Reliable Renovations
I’m Richard Sikora, owner of Reliable Renovations. I bring 8+ years of hands-on construction and renovation experience to projects throughout the Pittsburgh area, working with homeowners and property investors on everything from individual repairs to larger, multi-stage renovations.
My experience includes demolition and cleanouts, framing, subfloor and joist repairs, drywall installation and finishing, painting, flooring, carpentry, and kitchen and bathroom updates. I’ve also handled addition rebuilding, doors, trim and exterior improvements. Working across these stages has given me a practical understanding of how a renovation comes together, from addressing underlying repairs to completing the finishing details.
Alongside the hands-on work, my background includes field supervision, crew management and coordinating different trades. That means organizing materials, planning the sequence of work and communicating with the people involved as a project progresses. My commercial cleaning background also brings experience in property care and post-construction cleanup.
