A Legacy of Service in Ithaca

Three Generations of Quality, Community, and Trust

In 1976, Bernie Rick opened the doors to Rick’s Rental World with a simple mission: to provide the Ithaca community with the tools and equipment they needed to build, grow, and celebrate. What started as a local shop for contractors and homeowners has grown into a local community landmark, now proudly entering its third generation of family ownership.

While the tools have changed and our inventory has grown, our core philosophy remains exactly as Bernie intended: providing exceptional service by treating every customer like a neighbor.
