Starting in 1975 Russo Contractors was a
designated approved contractor for the
City of Baltimore performing complete
remediation of inner-city houses.
During the 1970's the city sold blocks of
abandoned Federal-style row houses in
downtown neighborhoods for $1 a piece
and provided buyers with up to $37,000
in low-interest construction loans. The city
provided technical assistance and authorized payments to approved contractors. Major
work had to be completed within six months and, after 18 months in residency,
homesteaders received the deeds to the houses.
Business growth by 1980 eventually included opening a kitchen and bath showroom that provided design services and representative complete kitchen and bathroom models. Russo Contractors provided quality cabinets and counters and full “turn-key” installation including plumbing and electrical work for a complete finished project.
By 1985 Russo Contractors closed the kitchen and bath showroom and moved on to full remodeling and renovation services, home additions and new construction of complete homes – currently their primary business focus.
Russo Contractors has a total of 37-years experience and a reputation for quality workmanship, and flexible policies to match the unique project requirements. Russo Contractors is known for providing added value and competitive and honest pricing.
