Bob Ritacco

Bob Ritacco began his painting career in 1978 while attending college. He started his own business in 1980, R.J. Ritacco Painting Co., and has been focused mostly on residential painting work ever since. With plenty of experience working with subcontractors but little experience in the way of carpentry, he nevertheless embarked on the deep-energy retrofit of an old ranch.
