Our Story

RKL Building Specialties Co., Inc. was founded in 1953 by its founding families-Rizzo, Kucich, and Losi. The Kucich Family became the sole owner in 1980 and was under the ownership and direction of Gary and Patricia Kucich, who purchased the business from Joseph Kucich in 2005. In the summer of 2013, RKL Building Specialties became a division of Hohmann and Barnard. This merger of longstanding family-run businesses is a perfect match as together there are many synergies, including 150 years of growth, expertise, innovation and understanding of the masonry industry. Rooted in tradition, yet equipped with handling the most-current and contemporary projects, RKL is here to handle all types of construction jobs and is always up to a challenge."

Located in College Point, New York, RKL serves the Tri-State area daily, in addition to providing materials and services throughout the country on a regular basis. RKL has its own on-site manufacturing facility, enabling same-day or next-day deliveries for most orders. Specializing in custom masonry and stone anchors, wall reinforcing, and all types of restoration products, RKL has what the contractor wants, when he wants it.

RKL materials and products are located in just about every stone and brick building throughout the Tri-State area. It is a name that issues a deep-rooted history in outstanding customer service, high-quality products, and an outstanding reputation in the construction industry. RKL specializes in school jobs, commercial office buildings, luxury apartment complexes, hospitals, and restoration work, including landmark preservation and restoration. Some notable construction projects that RKL has worked on are: Citi-Field and Yankee Stadium construction, Battery Park City, the former and future World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, St. Patrick's Cathedral, The World's Fair, The Plaza Hotel renovation, the renovation and reconstruction of the Whitney Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History.

Having New York City and all that it has to offer at its fingertips, RKL is your one-stop source for masonry and custom steel work. We look forward to working with you on your next project!
