10.16.2026: Thanks, New York, Hello Delaware! Twenty years ago today we founded Rico's out of our garage with a $500 credit card, an old pickup truck, a handful of tools, and Rico's ability to fix just about anything. We started with pump and electric motor repair and expanded from there. Satisfied customers would ask, "what else do you do"? The response was "what else do you need?" We have moved to Delaware and are looking forward to warmer winters with less snow. Once we are settled in, Rico's will be up and running again.
Thanks for 20 great years, Enrique (Rico) and Ellen Montiel
