Our story

Founded By Panel Builders.

We didn’t learn this trade from a franchise manual. We learned it from the people who built the trade around here.

  • 1990FoundedBy members of Low Temp Engineering, then the largest insulated metal panel (IMP) manufacturer and installer in New England.
  • Since thenStill family-ownedOwnership has changed more than once. Several members of the original founding team are still with the company.
  • TodayStill the same shopCold storage and controlled environments — clean rooms, grow rooms, dealership and dry-storage buildings — built by people who have hung the doors and closed the joints themselves.

The owners

Gabe & Kristen Perez.

We have one rule for every job: the box we hand over is one we’d want in our own building. At RSNE, we try every day to live our core values: Accountability, Respect, Integrity, and Pride. It’s the pride that makes us dedicated craftsmen and craftswomen, but it’s the accountability that keeps us honest and humble. For many of our customers, these boxes and doors are a serious investment, and we take that very seriously. If we don’t live up to your expectations, tell us. We’ll make it right. That’s accountability in action. We hope you consider us for your next project, and the one after that!
