Why have thousands of homeowners throughout Massachusetts been choosing H & R to handle all of their home improvement needs? Well, the answer can be found in both our company’s logo and tagline “Your Remodeler for Life.” When company founder Helmut K. Marosits established the company in 1979, he wanted to create a company that could fulfill all of the needs of homeowners and provide them with personal attention. H & R has an all inclusive business model that provides all of the necessary home improvement services a homeowner may need. A glance at the company logo, and one notices that H & R can build a custom home; add an addition; remodel a kitchen or bathroom; reroof a house; install replacement windows and vinyl siding; and even build beautiful new decks and porches. Our multi-talented approach benefits all homeowners for a few reasons.

First, homeowners looking to complete a variety of projects at one time can find a solution with H & R. It is becoming more common for homeowners to undertake a combination of home improvement projects all at once. In other words, installing a new roof, vinyl siding, and replacement windows all at once. With more people refinancing their homes today, equity is being used to help finance these projects simultaneously. You save time and achieve better results with your home improvements by hiring a single company to handle everything.

H & R’s multi-talented abilities also benefits homeowners because homeowners are able to take less risk by doing all of their home improvements with one company. It can be a very grueling task to interview several contractors for each of your home improvement projects; plus, doing so increases the probability of hiring a “not so professional” home improvement contractor. Hiring a single company for your home improvements speeds up the completion of your project(s)and you get better looking results because we are able to match the products accurately. Once you hire H & R, you can rest assure that when the time comes to make the necessary improvements to your home, H & R will be there to help.

Owner and President Helmut K. Marosits had been working in the home improvement industry for more than twelve years before he decided to start H & R. Helmut was working for a large home improvement company at the time and he was in charge of more than a dozen offices throughout the New England and New York area. In 1979, Helmut relocated to the Springfield area and started H & R.

Helmut’s goal is to provide the residents of Massachusetts with a professional choice for all of their home improvement needs. H & R is incorporated in 1980 and Helmut’s personal attention to his customers begins to payoff. The company grows through its previous customers and their referrals to family and friends. Since H & R is able to offer homeowners every service they need to remodel their homes’ customers are able to continue a working relationship with the company.

H & R begins building new construction homes in the Ridgecrest area of Westfield during the early 1980’s. Helmut’s unique designs and quality workmanship is an immediate success. H & R builds more homes in the area and the company begins to be recognized as an industry leader in Massachusetts.

H & R receives many awards from local organizations such as the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) for its service to the community and the company’s professionalism. Helmut is elected to serve as President of the Home Builders Association of Western Mass(HBAWM)in 1987. Helmut remains very active in the organization and still holds a seat on the Board of Directors as a past president.

After 20 years in business, the company promotes a new Vice President to the company. Helmut’s son Hunter is promoted to serve as Vice President in 2001. He has been working full-time for the company since 1997. In 1999, Hunter receives a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from Bentley College in Waltham, Massachusetts. His primary focus is sales and marketing. Hunter is gaining new customers for H & R as well as serving its many previous customers. Hunter plans to continue growing the family business into the future.

In 2005, Hunter expands the company's territory eastward with an office in Sturbridge, MA. H & R begins welcoming many new customers from the surrounding towns of western Worcester County. In 2010, Hunter is elected to serve on the Board of Directors for the Home Builders Association of Western Mass (HBAWM). He will hold this seat as a Builder Director through 2013.
