The R&D Team
Robert Booher
Owner + CEO
A Bristol, TN native, Robert's journey began on the factory floor, where he faced the challenges of layoffs and cutbacks. During this time, he took on side projects, ranging from flooring and decks to roofing and siding installation, supporting his family and building vital skills. His perseverance and strong work ethic propelled him from the shop floor to upper management.
After 10+ years in management, he ultimately chose to take his experience and passion for building into his own hands. In 2018, Robert founded R&D Construction & Handman, LLC., with a clear mission: To provide high-quality, affordable construction & handyman services to the Bristol, Tennessee, and the Tri-Cities Community. Under his leadership, the company has grown into a trusted provider of comprehensive services, handling projects of all sizes with professionalism and care.
