Since they opened their doors in 1989, Rhode Island Kitchen & Bath has earned their reputation as the leading Rhode Island kitchen and bathroom remodeling company. Their unique approach to kitchen and bathroom renovation, called “design/build,” gives them a distinct advantage over other remodeling contractors.
