We’re here to help tell it—one renovation at a time.

At Authentic Renovations LLC, we believe that a home is more than just a place—it’s a reflection of who you are. Founded in 2012 by Ric McAllister, we’ve been honored to help homeowners in Torrington and Litchfield County create spaces that are not only beautiful but built to last.


Ric’s passion for the craft started early, at just 17, when he began working on roofing and siding jobs throughout high school. With over 20 years of experience, Ric and his team bring a deep respect for tradition, craftsmanship, and the values of hard work. We specialize in everything from kitchens and bathrooms to decks, flooring, siding, and more—each project a chance to make your home truly yours.


Our work is inspired by the “old timers”—the builders who took pride in pointing out the homes they worked on, knowing they’d left a lasting mark. Ric admires that legacy and strives to create the same kind of work that homeowners can look back on with pride. It’s not just about getting the job done—it’s about doing it with care, attention to detail, and the desire to create something timeless.


At Authentic Renovations, we’re not just focused on the end result; we’re committed to making the journey smooth and personal, from start to finish. We treat your home with the same respect we’d give our own, and we aim to build a relationship with each of our clients that lasts as long as the renovations themselves.
