TOP 10 TILE CONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS
meet the most difficult schedule.”
The team regularly tackles difficult
projects Turner says. Some examples
of the challenges the team has han-
dled include 35-story apartment
complexes, several stories of exte-
rior façade tile, custom 5 ft. by 10 ft.,
panel tile throughout a grocery store
and Olympic-size swimming pools.
Turner Ceramic Tile had also worked
for the TV series Extreme Home
Makeover. Understanding the demands of
commercial construction, the com-
pany has developed processes to
meet it. “Our complete team is fo-
cused on attention to detail,” Turner
says. 16 — May-June 2018 — The North Carolina Construction News
The warehouse manager, for in-
stance, tracks and has tile ready in
the warehouse. “For deliveries we
use trucks that have an onboard fork-
lift. The drivers are also mathemati-
cians and will break down a
complete order and have placed ex-
actly where the project foreman
needs it.”
He says a quality control manager
walks the projects and reviews areas
of install weeks in advance while in-
stallers and finishers work to do
what it takes to meet every goal.
“Our project managers are on site
daily reviewing the schedule, details,
and resolving ongoing changes with
the project foreman. At the comple-
tion the quality control manager and
project foreman ensures the tile
work has met the GC and owner’s
needs.” Turner says this saying hangs in
the office. “Perfection is NOT attain-
able. But if we chase perfection we
can catch excellence.”
Turner Ceramic Tile is a member
of the National Association of
Women in Construction (NAWIC) and
the National Tile Contractors Associ-
ation. The company employs Certi-
fied Tile Installers (CTI) and Certified
Panel Installers.

ent company West Brothers Transfer
& Storage, established in 1946.
Today, the company is committed to
delivering low cost, top quality con-
tainer storage rental services to the
Raleigh-Durham area.
Floyd West began his small, local
package and furniture delivery serv-
ice in Raleigh and over the next 60
years, grew to offer full service
transportation, warehousing, logistic
services, freight brokerage, truck
leasing, and portable trailer and con-
tainer rental storage. In 2010 the
owners directed their focus to the
business of portable storage and in
2016, launched Containers4Less as
a low-cost container rental brand.
Containers4Less has become a
top provider of temporary onsite
container storage rental solutions,
primarily serving the construction in-
dustry. However, the company’s
services also offer several unique
customer benefits, beginning with
significant cost savings, that other
industries also appreciate.
Being locally owned and oper-
ated, Containers4Less continues to
price its container rentals at 50 per-
cent below the cost of other leading
brands. According to Craig West,
CEO/owner: “These are the same
high quality, secure containers other
brands charge twice as much for.
We do this by maintaining our home
grown local focus, and by minimiz-
ing our operating expenses.”
The company’s customer base is
extremely loyal because of this, as
well as for the guaranteed 24-hour
delivery and pick up on all container
rentals. “Our customers tell us this is
a major advantage,” West added.
