About Us

Interior specialists
built for NYC.

Over a decade of interior painting, kitchen & bathroom remodels, drywall, concrete, and more — serving Manhattan co-ops, condos, and properties across all five boroughs.

Built in NYC,
for NYC.

Rio Branco Builders was founded by a crew of NYC tradesmen who were tired of seeing property owners get burned — bad work, surprise costs, and contractors who disappear after the job.

We built our company around the opposite: show up when we say, charge what we quoted, and do every trade to the standard it deserves. That's still how we operate today.

Our specialty is interior work — painting, kitchen remodels, and bathroom renovations. We are fully equipped and experienced to work in Manhattan co-ops and condos, and licensed and insured with the DCWP. We also handle concrete, drywall, windows, and exterior work across all five boroughs.
