I highly recommend Ricci Lumber for kitchen cabinets - and especially Billie Senzek as a designer. Ricci Lumber carries a few brands, all of which are highly rated. Billie was absolutely amazing as a designer. She came up with a wonderful design that worked perfectly to fit in our "wish list". She was so patient with answering questions and making minor tweaks based on our discussions. The price was exactly where I expected to be for the quality of the cabinets. Billie is a recommended designer per a popular website that completes reviews of kitchen cabinets. She is the only one north of Boston listed on this website. They even provide windows, doors, counters, and lumber. One stop shop!

I highly recommend Ricci Limber if you are doing a kitchen remodel. They carry high quality cabinets, windows, doors and counters. My designer was Billie. She was great. Her design incorporated all we wanted in a challenging space. She was very patient and wonderful to work with.

There aren't enough superlatives and kind words available to adequately describe the exceedingly professional quality of service that the folks at Ricci Lumber deliver. Alan our project manager was amazing from start to finish with follow-up and follow-through as was Melinda in the design phase of our small project. Though our project was somewhat limited in scope we never felt as though it was not important to the folks at Ricci.
Their sincerity and dedication in their mission shown through with the dedicated craftsmanship put forth by Derek and his on-site crew who treated our home with the utmost of care, respect, and kindness. Derek and his team went above and beyond for us and the pride they take in their work and the skill with which they deliver is evident with the finished product for which we could not be more pleased with. Their efforts have ensured that we will be customers for life and I highly recommend Ricci Lumber for your home project.

My company reviews cabinet dealers and kitchen designers from across the United States. We were very impressed with the design work done by Billie Senzek and her professionalism. Finding a talented kitchen designer that has the customer's best interest at heart is difficult. This is why thousands of people ask us for recommendations each year. Adding Billie and Ricci to our list will be a great reference for the people visiting our website looking for a cabinet dealer and kitchen designer that they can trust near Portsmouth.

I have not ordered a lot of stuff from Ricci lumber, but if you need any building materials this is the place to go. There was a little hiccup with my order that was suppose to be delivered it was a little late and a small problem with my order but they went above and beyond to rectify it. Best customer service I have ever had from any hardware/ lumber yard ever!

I've never been to Ricci lumber. I'm the lead carpenter at Boston Ship Repair. About a year ago I got my first lumber order from Ricci lumber, and it was all quality stock. From plywood to 2x stock was awesome. The drivers are very friendly and knowledgeable. I've been working with wood for over fifty years. And I must say, if you need lumber Ricci's is where to go.

We needed a key cut and the woman at the counter let us take it home to try it before we bought it. I work in a hardware store and we didn't have the key I needed. I though Ricci lumber associates were exceptional at customer service. I will stop there more often.
