Who are Rōnin
In feudal Japan, the Rōnin were samurai’s who were often solitary warriors Without a lord or master.
Why Ronin Construction
Welcome to my calling in life.
My name Ryan, I was born in a small town here in Idaho, and I am happy to have called Boise my home for the last 14 years. I have spent most of my life in the construction trades, learning and absorbing from the many mentors I’ve had the honor of working with. I was recently met with the challenge of rebranding my company (Formerly From NorthWest Contractors). With much deliberation and evaluation of what’s important to me, I chose to use the very name I chose for my son, Ronin.
So, Why Rōnin for my company name(& my son)?
Easy, It’s all about what the Rōnin stood for. You see, anyone can pick up a sword and swing it aimlessly and create some sort of effect, but that does not make a samurai. I feel the same connection with the tools of my trade and the skills of my hands. Many can swing a hammer to demolish, but few possess the desire, dedication, and humility to learn from the masters that came before them to become masters in their own right.
The Rōnin used a strict set of ethical principles to govern their lives, known as “Bushido”. Honor was at the nucleus of all the principals.
With perhaps a slightly more altruistic view than the Rōnin of old, I approach every project with a similar adherence to a set of ethical principles, Honor being the nexus of those ethics.
I believe honor is the bridge that a contractor uses to carry the customer's ideas, needs and dreams across to the “I absolutely LOVE IT!!!” moments of home and life improvements.
If as your contractor I do not honor your time, property, lifestyle, and hard-earned money while honoring my commitment to my craft, then I have failed before the first nail is driven. Honor is the code that enables the transformation of my craftsman’s and my own, natural talents and acquired skills into Masterful Artistry for the purpose of improving your home and lifestyle while leaving behind a timeless impression of my craftsmanship in our community for generations to follow.
