About RKM
A small shop, on purpose.
RKM Services is a remodeling company built around a simple idea: the people who show up at your door should be people we'd trust in our own home. That's why we stay small, keep the same crew, and take on the number of projects we can actually manage well.
Ryan Minnick has spent more than twenty years in the trades around Rockford — framing, finish carpentry, full gut remodels. He still walks every job, meets every homeowner, and signs off on every final walkthrough himself. When you call RKM, you're talking to the person who's going to be in your house.

Our Services
What we build
Whole-home renovations down to a single room done right. Every project is planned, priced and managed by the same team start to finish.
Bathroom Remodeling
From a guest bath refresh to a full primary suite — including curbless showers, blocking for grab bars and comfort-height fixtures, so the room still works twenty years from now.
Whole-Home Renovations
Reimagine your entire home with a cohesive plan and expert execution, phased so you can keep living in it.
Basement Finishing
Turn unused space into comfortable, functional living space — framing, egress, mechanicals and finishes.
05 — decks
Decks & Outdoor Living
Custom decks and outdoor spaces built for the way you live, with materials chosen for our winters.
Windows & Doors
Quality products that improve comfort, efficiency and curb appeal — measured and installed by our own crew.
Our Approach
How a project actually runs
Four steps, in order, every time. You'll know what's happening next before it happens.
01
Conversation
We walk the space together, talk through what you want and what it realistically takes. No pressure, no sales pitch.
02
Plan & Estimate
You get a written scope and a line-item estimate — materials, allowances, timeline. What's included is on paper.
03
Build
One crew, a posted schedule, and the site cleaned at the end of every day. Ryan is on the job, not just on the phone.
04
Walkthrough
We go room by room together, fix the punch list, and you get your warranty and care details in writing.

Our Promise
The people we bring into your home are people we trust in our own.
We hold ourselves — and our subcontractors — to a higher standard. It's why our clients trust us in their homes, and why they recommend us to their friends.
If something isn't right, you tell us and we fix it. That's the whole agreement.

What homeowners say
Ryan took over a project and corrected mistakes that would have been costly had it not been uncovered. Ryan will always give you his honest opinion and is trustworthy and sticks to his word. I highly recommend he and his team for your residential and commercial needs.
