rk MILES, a leading provider of building materials and services across Vermont, Northern New Hampshire and Western Massachusetts, announces the acquisition of Valente Builders Inc., in Hudson Falls, NY—a respected manufacturer of wall panels serving builders and lumberyards throughout the region.
Valente Builders, Inc. has been a trusted supplier to rk MILES for many years. The company specializes in manufacturing high-quality wall panels for customers across New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

As part of the agreement, Valente Builders Inc. will continue operating under its existing leadership. Formers owners Joe Wilkins and Mike Maney will remain in place to lead the business, ensuring continuity in operations, relationships, and service quality.
“Maintaining the leadership and expertise of Joe and Mike was very important to us,” said rk MILES third-generation owner Joe Miles. “Their deep industry knowledge and commitment to quality have made Valente Builders a standout partner for years, and we’re excited to build on that foundation together.”
Customers of both companies can expect a seamless transition, with continued focus on quality products, reliable service, and strong partnerships.
