Held this past weekend at the DoubleTree in Manchester, the event was produced by the New Hampshire Home Builders Association and drew more than 4,000 attendees and over 200 exhibitors.

For homeowners attending the home show in Manchester, NH, the benefit is straightforward. Products can be seen in person, and conversations happen directly with the people responsible for supplying and installing them. It allows for easier comparison of materials, clearer expectations around timelines, and a better understanding of how different parts of a project connect.
The Made in New Hampshire section highlighted local businesses and products alongside the core home-related exhibitors. One of the more popular stops was Tommy’s Pickles, a small-batch producer known for bold flavors and a strong local following. It added a local element to the show while keeping the focus on New Hampshire-based businesses.
At the Rumford Stone booth, the team walked visitors through their countertop offerings, answered questions, and connected with both homeowners and industry professionals throughout the weekend. Rumford also handed out their signature Rumford Stone trucks. They were joined by their sister company, Capital Tile & Marble, bringing both tile and countertop expertise into the same space.
Governor Kelly Ayotte also visited the show and stopped by the Rumford Stone booth, where she spoke with owner Vince Trento about the history of Rumford Stone and Capital Tile & Marble and their role in the New Hampshire building industry.
As the home show in Manchester, NH approaches its 60th anniversary next year, it continues to serve as a consistent starting point for homeowners planning projects and for professionals working across the region.
