r.k. MILES has a long history in Vermont and is proud to be a third generation family business. Manchester, VT has been our home since 1886 when Frederick Miles first logged timber on the slopes of Red Mountain. The company logged, milled and sold timber in various locations until 1927 when the Miles Lumber Co. was established in Arlington, Vermont.

Throughout the following years, Richard K. Miles, Sr. learned that building solid customer relationships and supporting the community had become one of the
company’s greatest strengths. As Miles Lumber Co. continued to grow, a second location was established in Manchester Vermont in 1940. Over the next 40 years, the tremendous growth of r.k. MILES, Inc. was due in large part to the company’s commitment to fair business practices, belief in family and community, the loyalty of its customers, and the leadership of Richard K. Miles, Jr. In 1992, Richard's son, Josiah E. Miles, took over ownership of the company.

r.k. MILES, Inc. continued to grow in 2005 with the purchase of our Middlebury Vermont and Williamstown Massachusetts (formerly Taconic Lumber) locations, and
the purchase of our West Hatfield Massachusetts location in 2008. More recently, r.k. MILES, Inc. expanded to North-central Vermont with the purchase of two more locations in Morrisville and Stowe (formerly Morrisville Lumber) in 2017.

Today, the practice of caring about our customers and participating in the community is still the mainstay of our company and is a thoroughly ingrained business philosophy. Now with lumberyards and hardware stores in Vermont and Western Massachusetts, r.k. MILES, Inc. is even better poised to serve its customers both north and south of its Manchester location.

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Jill Smith, Oct. 2025**

> I have been extremely happy with Marvin Windows for over 30 years so when a large tree fell recently on my seasonal cottage in the Champlain Valley completely crushing a second story room I called RK Miles in Middlebury.
>
> Their window salesmen PJ Hance arrived within a matter of hours. We discussed options and he made some suggestions to help clarify ideas I had. He was back to me with very competitive prices the next day. The windows got ordered and he updated me weekly on their arrival time which was a huge help to my contractor.  PJ has proven to be more than just a “salesmen” and has been interested in the progression of the entire project. As anyone who has had significant unexpected damage knows, it is stressful to say the least and his help has been enormously appreciated.
>
> I absolutely love the windows he helped me decide on! However after they were installed and we went to clean them and install the screens, one of the 4 started to shred the casing lining.
> I contacted PJ immediately and sent him pictures. The parts were ordered and a date was set for the repair.
>
> As scheduled Brad Lillie arrived with their service truck. He is super experienced & knowledgeable explaining what might have happened, and not only repaired the casing parts but took the time to check the other 3 new windows and show me helpful tips for ongoing ease of operation. He then took the time to check on the Marvin replacement window installed in another room several years before.
>
> So a big shout and thank you to PJ Hance, Brad Lillie, RK Miles in Middlebury and Marvin windows.They have made it feel like a partnership, not just a sale! They have my 5 star recommendation!

**★★★★★ — Marilyn Thompson, April 2018**

> Danielle was fantastic to work with when we were remodeling our kitchen. As it was our first time tackling a remodeling job, she was patient and helpful with suggestions. She worked within our budget and never made us feel uncomfortable. Danielle frequently visited the job site and regularly communicated. I would highly recommend using her services for your project!

**Comment from rk MILES, Inc.:**

> Marilyn- thank you so much for such a glowing review! We are happy that you were able to work with Danielle to make your project a success!

**★★★★★ — User, April 2018**

> It was a pleasure to work with designer Danielle Dupuis Mathers of rkMiles. She helped translate our ideas into drawn plans and stay within our budget. She collaborated smoothly with us and a great head builder, Luke of Goldreyer Carpentry, to create a kitchen for our old 19th c. farm house in the village of Cambridge, NY, and a smaller kitchen for the guest apartment in our house, as well as a bathroom sink cabinet to go with an antique marble top that we found at a local salvage shop. We would like to work with her again and we recommend her to others. rkMiles team did a great job with providing the cabinets and making the cherry counter top from sustainable locally sourced wood, too.

**★★★★★ — Sheridan Hay  Jacobs, April 2018**

> I can't recommend Danielle Mathers, the designer at R K Miles, highly enough.  Not only is she thorough, responsive and incredibly knowledgeable about kitchens and bathrooms, she has a fine eye for design along with impeccable taste.  Will upload photos of the project when it's complete and you'll see for yourself what a great designer she is!

**★★★★★ — Meg and Bob Ruley, Jan. 2018**

> Danielle Mathers was a wonderful resource when we renovated our 1970's kitchen. Her expertise and knowledge were invaluable. From selecting cabinets, lighting, counter tops and backsplash, Danielle was always available to guide us by phone, email or in person. We highly recommend working with Danielle and her team at RK Miles.

**Comment from rk MILES, Inc.:**

> Wow! What a transformation! Thank you Meg and Bob for trusting rk Miles and Danielle with your kitchen remodel project! Thank you for the great 5 Star review and recommendation and congratulations on your new kitchen!

**★★★★★ — MaryBeth Dickinson, Nov. 2017**

> We began thinking about a kitchen remodel a few years ago. In the late spring we stopped at rk Miles in Manchester VT.  We began working with Danielle and could not have been happier.  We couldn’t decide whether to totally start over or just add on in a different space. Gutting our current space was cost prohibitive.  Danielle worked with us to create an open flowing kitchen that incorporated our older cabinets and counters with newer totally different cabinets and counter. We are delighted with the results.  As for delivery and countertop installation, rk Miles was timely and efficient. Thank you Danielle and rk Miles!

**Comment from rk MILES, Inc.:**

> Thank you for your 5 Star review MaryBeth and thank you for working with rk MILES and Danielle to create a space that you will enjoy for years to come!

**★★★★★ — rrgaetano52, Oct. 2017**

> The service received from RKM was exceptional.  Working with Danielle, the kitchen designer was a pleasant experience.  She was knowledgeable in the types of products we wanted to use in our kitchen.  She also coordinated arrival dates and times with contractors which made everything run smoothly.  The contractors were polite, professional and knowledgeable.  I will definitely use and recommend RKM for home projects in the future.

**Comment from rk MILES, Inc.:**

> Thank you for your 5 Star Review! We are happy to hear that Danielle was able to use her knowledge and expertise to help make your kitchen project a great success. Thank you for your support and we'll see you at the store!

**★★★★★ — Maple Valley Design Build, Inc., Oct. 2017**

> It is always a pleasure to work with rk Miles.  They stand behind their products, provide excellent customer service, and are integral to the success of our projects.

**Comment from rk MILES, Inc.:**

> Thank you, Greg, for your 5 Star Review! We strive to offer the best possible service to our customers to help each of them succeed through our product knowledge, troubleshooting, and our expertise. We thank you, as always, for your support and look forward to working with you on your projects to come!

**★★★★★ — dos41154, July 2016**

> I built a house which took three years and was completed in July of 2014.   I ordered all new materials for my new home through r.k. Miles.   Most of the interior structure was old beams and barnwood which my contractor reclaimed for the supports and flooring from the structures on my farm.
>
> I worked with Nina and Abbey (mostly Nina) on kitchen design.  We designed the kitchen to meet my needs as I love to cook.   It was successfully completed according to what I was looking to achieve.
>
> Everyone I worked with at r.k. Miles far exceeded my expectations and I would certainly recommend the team to anyone building a house or for any smaller projects as well.

**Comment from rk MILES, Inc.:**

> Thank you so much for your excellent review! Our Kitchen & Bath designers work closely with the building materials sales team to help projects like yours become a reality (and make it as seamless as possible)! We are happy to hear we exceeded your expectations- thank you for your support!

**★★★★★ — ddohaney, March 2016**

> We used rk MILES for all of our renovation materials, including windows, doors, and lumber. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful when we had questions regarding our project. We will continue to support this local business.

**Comment from rk MILES, Inc.:**

> Thank you for your 5 star review! We strive to provide the best products for the job while providing the best services we can to help our customers make the best decisions for their projects -- we appreciate your continued support!

**★★★★★ — vtmarsdens, March 2016**

> When we bought our first house, we wanted to be sure that we would have something that we could treasure for years to come. R.K. Miles helped make that dream come true!
> While we wanted to save on costs by doing as much of the work ourselves as possible, they were excellent at guiding us along the way in determining what tasks were within our reach and which ones really needed to taken on by the pros. As a result, we were able to have a confident experience that has lent itself well towards making our house feel like a home! They gave us many tips and suggestions along the way and yet were receptive to our wishes. I can not give a higher level of praise than what they have earned. I am very thankful that we chose to go with them in the building of both our kitchen and both of ours baths.
> Thank you R.K. Miles!

**Comment from rk MILES, Inc.:**

> Thank you for your great review of your experience with the rk MILES Kitchen & Bath Design team! Each of our designers are very knowledgeable and have extensive experience in choosing the right designs for each client's lifestyle -- Plus, they are very experienced with problem solving-- making our customers' jobs easy! Thanks again for your support and we look forward to seeing you in the store!

**★★★★★ — Jen McDonald, Oct. 2015**

> We worked with Adam at RK Miles for our kitchen renovation completed in August of this year.  After intially meeting with some designers who were a bit more local (we live in Saratoga Springs, NY) we were frustrated and felt that they lacked creativity and vision for what we wanted to accomplish.  Adam was wonderful.  He listed to what we wanted to do and designed a kitchen that was perfect for us.  I found Adam and RK Miles to be easy to work with and highly recommend them.  Not only were they extremely easy to work with during the design process, but they were very accomodating and helpful during construction when our contractor discovered that a couple of pieces came in incorrectly.  They took care of things right away for us.  Highly recommend!!!
