Who We Are

Family-owned. Nationally trusted

Family-owned since 1992. Built from one trade into a national contractor trusted by America's biggest retail brands.

Our Story

From one trade to one accountable partner

RJB started in 1992 with one trade and one standard: show up, do it right, stand behind it. The scope and the footprint have grown a lot since then. The standard hasn't changed.

What also hasn't changed is who owns it. Ron Bacskai started RJB thinking about the next job, not an exit strategy. That mindset carries through every decision. Today the second generation of the Bacskai family is part of the business. Family ownership means we answer to our clients and our team, not to a corporate mandate. That freedom lets us do the right thing, every time.

Three Decades of Showing Up

The same standard, at every scale

1992
Founded
Ron Bacskai opens RJB outside Philadelphia as a specialized commercial coatings contractor. One trade, one standard, one family behind every job.
2000s
Becoming a GC
Clients wanted one accountable partner, not multiple contractors. RJB added drywall, carpentry, fixturing, and full interior construction, becoming a full general contractor without losing the accountability that built its reputation.
2010s
Going National
Fortune 500 retail programs take RJB coast to coast, building the vendor network, field organization, and systems to execute at national portfolio scale.
Today
48 States & Counting
A full-service general contractor operating across 48 states, with deep trade expertise and the same standard that started it all.
How We Work

RJB [Ability]

Three decades of commercial construction have taught us what separates contractors who show up from contractors who deliver. It comes down to four things we refuse to compromise on.

01
Accountability
One point of contact. One team on-site. If something isn't right, we own it. No finger-pointing, no passing the buck to a subcontractor.
02
Planning
Open-store retail construction doesn't leave room for surprises. Every project is planned before a single tool touches the site.
03
Communication
Our clients never have to chase an update. We communicate proactively, from kickoff through punch list, so there are no surprises.
04
Safety
Working in live retail and industrial environments demands a culture of safety. Every team member is trained, accountable, and empowered to stop work if something isn't right.

Safety

Safety isn't a program. It's how we work.

RJB operates in live retail stores, active warehouses, and occupied facilities every day. That environment demands more than a safety checklist — it demands a culture where every person on the team is trained, accountable, and empowered to stop work the moment something isn't right.

We hold ourselves and our subcontractor network to the same standard. Pre-task planning, site-specific safety plans, and ongoing training are built into every project, not bolted on after the fact. Our clients' employees and customers are often steps away from our crews. That proximity is something we take seriously.

RJB has a dedicated, in-house Safety Manager — Jennifer Schroeder — who oversees safety compliance, training, and protocols across all active projects. From day one of a project to the final punch walk, safety is a line item that never gets cut.
