-
02
Supply
Plumbing fixtures and builder supply in stock in Keene, whole-job pricing by hand and same-day pickup for the trade.

Steel-and-EPS panels that close in an average house in about three days, with a free take-off and delivered price.
-
04
Deliver
Design-build under one licensed general contractor, and prefab home and ADU shell kits built on ThermaSteel panels.
Six divisions. One standard of quality.
Each company runs under its own name and its own brand, and shares the warehouse, the standards and the accountability of the group.
PoshHaus
The founding house and the flagship of the group. PoshHaus began in 2012 as an online destination for luxury kitchen and bath and now furnishes the whole home: vanities and faucets, cabinetry, countertops, tile, flooring, appliances, lighting and furniture from trusted brands such as Cambria, Cosentino, Daltile, Pfister and Franke. The Keene showroom lets clients touch the specification before they commit, and PoshHaus Stone templates and installs custom countertops across New Hampshire. More than 200,000 customers to date.

We carry high quality only, at a fair price, so customers get more options at every budget without giving up on quality. The range runs to 140+ products, from freestanding stone-resin and acrylic soaking tubs to solid-wood vanities and Summit Stone™ engineered quartz, with 25 slabs named for New England peaks from Monadnock to Katahdin, sold through PoshHaus online and in the Keene showroom.

ThermaSteel Northeast
The group's panel system and an independent ThermaSteel distributor for New England, listed in ThermaSteel Inc.’s official distributor network. ThermaSteel's patented process bonds light-gauge steel to EPS, so one panel does the framing, insulation, sheathing and vapour barrier. No thermal bridging, no rot, a non-combustible assembly with a two-hour load-bearing rating, and heating and cooling costs cut by 75% or more over conventional framing. One framer and two helpers close in an average house in about three days.
- Territory
- All six New England states
- Service life
- 425 years · 100% recyclable

Builders Fixtures
The trade supply arm for GCs, plumbers, developers, property managers and homeowners: faucets, toilets and sinks, shower and tub valves, tankless water heaters, drain equipment and flooring, stocked deep in Keene from brands such as Gerber, Pfister, Kingston Brass and General Pipe Cleaners. Every job is priced by hand on the full schedule, trade accounts get a named rep and stock held for phased work, and trade and retail pay the same price. It started as a counter, not a catalog, and still runs on one rule: price it once, price it the same for everyone.

Software we build and own.
Our software is designed and built in-house by RK Parisi Enterprises. It is not a separate company: it is made by our own team, held to the same standards as the rest of the group, and has its own website.
Design it. Sell it. Build it. OpalSketch is software we design, build and own for the businesses that sell and install kitchens, baths and whole rooms. It turns a room plan and a product catalog into a 3D design a client can walk through, then carries the same job through the quote, the order and the install.
- Design. Draw the room to scale, drop in real cabinets, appliances and fixtures, and see it in 3D with elevations and a walk-through. A room visualizer tries paint and finishes on a photo of the real space.
- Sell. Selections become a quote in one click. Contracts with signature, invoices with payments, and a client page to review, approve and message.
- Build. Approved products turn into purchase orders per vendor, a spec sheet and an order tracker.
- Run the job. Projects by stage, tasks, calendar, time tracking, files, moodboards and an Inspire gallery of finished work.
- Only what you need. Every feature is a module a team can switch on or off. Unlimited users on paid plans, and your business name and logo on everything the client sees.
Built for showrooms, cabinet and fixture dealers, interior designers and remodelers. OpalSketch is in early preview: the designer and portal run in your browser today while its cloud service is built. Privacy.
OpalSketch by RK Parisi
Every client quoted by hand and served by name.
Whether you are finishing one bathroom or delivering fifty units, there is a division built for the way you work.

Builders Fixtures & six operating divisions

A family enterprise, accountable for the whole envelope.
RK Parisi Enterprises, Inc. is a privately held, family-run holding company headquartered in Keene, New Hampshire. The enterprise began in 2012, when Robert Parisi founded PoshHaus with a straightforward thesis: the kitchen and the bathroom are not merely functional spaces but a reflection of the client's personal style, and they deserve to be specified with the same rigour as the structure around them.
The idea came from experience. After years in the industry, a hands-on renovation of a 1920s foreclosed home showed how hard it was to get good guidance on products, and how slow service could be when something went wrong. PoshHaus was built to fix both, on a simple belief: there is the right product for every project, and helping a customer find it avoids costly mistakes.
That thesis scaled. PoshHaus grew 500% in its first two years, and what started as a curated online catalogue of best-in-class kitchen and bath products has grown into six operating divisions spanning luxury retail, our own product line, panelized structure, trade supply, design-build delivery and prefab housing. More than 200,000 satisfied customers later, it is still run out of one building on Emerald Street.
That building matters to us. 104 Emerald Street is a timber-framed building from 1910, for years the home of Keene Industrial Paper Co. (Kipco), a family business founded in 1952 that many people in Keene remember. After Kipco closed in 2017 the building sat empty for four years and was falling into disrepair, and other buyers planned to knock it down and turn the lot into parking. RK Parisi bought it in 2021 to save it and gave it the love it needed: two years of rehabilitation that included raising the building and installing new sprinklers, working through a demanding code process with the City of Keene, then a 2024 showroom remodel with new flooring, glass walls, new displays and a design center with multiple touch-screen 3D design stations.
“Rather than building something new, we wanted to revitalize and bring that back to life,” Robert Parisi told The Keene Sentinel.
Vertical integration is our operating model, not our marketing. Owning each step of the value chain lets us specify high-performance assemblies, consolidate freight, compress schedules, hold inventory for phased work and flag substitutions before they reach the jobsite.
“The kitchen and the bath are a reflection of the people who live with them. They deserve to be specified with the same rigour as the structure around them.”
- Quoted by hand. Every fixture schedule and every project is priced by a person, not a pricing engine.
- Served by name. A dedicated team stays with each client from first call to final walkthrough.
- One transparent price. Trade and retail customers pay the same price for the same product.
- One point of accountability. When something changes, one group owns the answer.
A Keene business that invests in Keene.
We saved a landmark
The 1910 Kipco building was headed for demolition and a parking lot. We bought it, raised it, brought it up to code and filled it with six companies.
Started local
PoshHaus began in 2012 in the Hannah Grimes Center’s Business Incubator Program in Keene and graduated in under 18 months.
Shop local, buy local
The showroom makes room for regional craftspeople, including Drouin’s Glen Woodworking, a disabled veteran-owned shop in Acworth.
Thoughtful technology, private by design.
Privacy comes first. We build and run the systems behind six companies ourselves: our AI runs on servers we own in Keene, we self-host our tools and data wherever we can, and the software our teams and customers use is shaped by the same people who sell, specify and install the product.
We waited. While others rushed AI into everything, we held off until it could run on our own hardware, keep customer information private and make real work better. 2026 is the year it earned its place at RK Parisi: brought in thoughtfully, not forced, and not for the hype.
- Privacy first. Customer information stays on systems we control.
- Local by default. Our models run in Keene, not in someone else’s cloud.
- People stay in charge. AI assists our team; a person still prices every quote.
- Purpose over hype. We use it only where it makes the work faster or more accurate.
Locally hosted AI
Our AI models run on our own hardware, not a third-party cloud. They help our team prepare quotes, answer product questions and keep catalogues accurate, and a person reviews the work. Customer information stays in-house.
Self-hosted by default
We host and operate our own tools and data wherever we can. That keeps us in control of security, uptime and cost, and never locked into someone else’s roadmap.
E-commerce built in-house
Our digital team builds and optimizes the group’s online stores and catalogues, keeping large product ranges accurate, searchable and in sync across companies.
3D design & room scanning
Multiple large touch-screen design stations in the showroom, 3D kitchen and bath design and room scanning to capture a space accurately. A technology-forward kitchen and bath showroom, side by side with the real samples.
Try OpalSketch, our 3D design software →Digital estimating
Tile and countertop take-offs, cabinet budgeting, ADU sizing and panel take-offs turn a rough idea into a real number before anyone picks up a tool.
Privacy by design
Privacy is the starting point, not a feature. Running our own systems means fewer hands on your data, we do not sell your personal information, and our AI keeps working data on our own machines.
Platforms, brands and designs we own.

The efficient building is the one that never gets rebuilt.
Envelope first
High-performance assemblies before mechanical horsepower. Effective values to R-61 with no thermal bridging shrink the load before a unit is sized.
Manufactured off site
Panels and shell kits arrive pre-cut, numbered and labelled. Off-site fabrication takes the dumpster off the jobsite and weeks out of the schedule.
Materials that return
Steel and EPS do not rot, mould or off-gas, are produced with recycled content in a zero-waste facility, and are fully recyclable at end of life.
One supply chain
Specification, supply and installation sit in one group, so freight consolidates, substitutions are flagged early and stock is held rather than ordered twice.
How the ThermaSteel wall compares.
Every system below can build a good house. The difference is what each asks of you in labour, in trades, in maintenance and in the heating bill for the next fifty winters.
| Measure | ThermaSteel panel | 2×6 stick frame | OSB-faced SIP | ICF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Effective whole-wall R-value | R-51 to R-61 | R-15 to R-17 | R-21 to R-27 | R-22 to R-26 |
| Thermal bridging | None | Every stud, plate and header | At splines and joints | At ties and openings |
| Framing time, average house | About 3 days | 2 to 4 weeks | 4 to 7 days | 1 to 2 weeks plus pour |
| Trades to close in the shell | One | Four to five | Two to three | Two to three |
| If the assembly gets wet | No rot, no delamination | Rot and mould risk | Skins can delaminate | Core is fine; finishes are not |
| Termites and carpenter ants | No | Yes | Yes, the skins | No |
| Fire | Non-combustible; 2-hour load-bearing rating | Combustible | Combustible skins | Non-combustible core |
| Wall thickness for that R-value | 5.5" or 7.5" | 12" to 16" double stud | 8" to 12" | 11" to 13" |
| Recyclable at end of life | 100% | Partly | No | No |
Typical whole-assembly values for cold-climate construction. ThermaSteel values come from the Intertek thermal performance report and sealed load tables published by ThermaSteel Northeast. Panels are manufactured by ThermaSteel Inc., Radford, Virginia.
See the test reports →Evaluations and approvals are held by the manufacturer, ThermaSteel Inc., which has made panels in Radford, Virginia since 1970, holds 25 patents and runs a waste-free production facility.

ThermaSteel Northeast is the independent ThermaSteel distributor for all six New England states: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Can one project use more than one division?
That is the point of the group. A single project can be specified through PoshHaus, supplied by Builders Fixtures, framed with ThermaSteel panels and delivered by Shop Design Build, with one point of accountability throughout.
What is abodeMOD?
abodeMOD designs prefab home and ADU shell kits built from ThermaSteel panels: seven designs from a 560 sq ft two-bedroom ADU to 2,681 sq ft family homes. Kits come as Pro or Deluxe panel packages with curbside delivery in the Northeast, and your contractor, or Shop Design Build, finishes the roof, windows, doors and interiors.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. PoshHaus offers financing and a price-match guarantee, and Builders Fixtures offers Affirm financing at checkout with free ground shipping on orders over $99.
Do you install, or just sell?
Both. Shop Design Build is a licensed and insured New Hampshire general contractor for kitchens, baths, additions and new homes, and PoshHaus Stone templates and installs countertops and vanity tops across the state. If you have your own builder, every division sells product on its own too.
Who installs ThermaSteel panels?
Your own framer, in almost every case. Training takes under two hours for a crew that has framed before, and the only power tool needed is a screw gun. Panels are numbered to match the drawings, and every piece of hardware ships with the package.
Can you build with panels in a New England winter?
Yes. Nothing in a steel and EPS panel needs to dry, cure or acclimatise, and once the shell is closed you can heat and work inside within days.
How long does a panelized project take?
Shop drawings take two to four weeks once ThermaSteel Northeast has your plans, then manufacturing and delivery. On site, an average house shell goes up in about three days, and you get a firm date before you commit.
See it, touch it, then specify it.
The PoshHaus showroom on Emerald Street is also the group's headquarters. Bring your plans, your designer or your contractor. Every division is under the same roof.
