OUR STORY / A FAMILY AFFAIR

2005

A family legacy.
A new chapter.

Danielle DelGaudio and Val Andrew Massar together overlooking New York City
Danielle & Val Andrew. A shared life, a shared vision.

Kevin DelGaudio founded Room for Improvement in 2005, drawing on decades of experience in real estate and a firsthand understanding of what makes a house feel like home. He knew that thoughtful improvements could change how a property looks, works, and lives.

Today, his daughter Danielle has relaunched RFI alongside her fiancé, Val Andrew Massar, and their fathers, Kevin DelGaudio and Val Massar Jr. Together, they bring the original brand into a new chapter—grounded in family, experience, and personal accountability.

With their combined knowledge of real estate, construction, and life together, they have built a trusted network of home improvement specialists who share their commitment to quality. RFI coordinates the right people and cares for the details, from the first conversation to the finished work.

One family-led team.
A personal commitment to your home.
