The location owners will provide the Allentown and Lancaster area with rentable, reusable containment walls that will limit waste during construction and renovation projects. 

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first and leading full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, has expanded its services into Pennsylvania with a new Allentown/Lancaster location. The business is owned by Randy and Winona Smith, a husband and wife team dedicated to providing the area with a sustainable containment option.

“Temporary Wall Systems is a great opportunity for us to offer a new solution in the construction and renovation space that is more sustainable, economical and environmentally friendly,” Randy Smith said. “Currently, when a business owner has to separate an area he is renovating from the occupied space, the construction crew has to use drywall and other permanent materials to build a wall. With the TWS system, we provide a reusable and sustainable option that won’t be going to waste after it’s no longer needed.”

Smith said the couple is excited to be a part of the TWS franchise because they believe in the philosophy behind the modular wall company and its commitment to being an environmentally responsible containment alternative.

“Winona and I love this area and have lived here most of our lives,” he said. “This area has a great combination of medium and small towns near one another. It has a mixture of very rural areas and quaint towns scattered across rolling hills and farms but with the added bonus of being near the big city of Philadelphia. We want to preserve the aesthetic of this area. TWS will afford us with the opportunity to do just that.”

This business is a second act for the Smiths. Randy Smith has a mechanical engineering degree from Widener University and an MBA from the Keller Graduate School and spent nearly 35 years in machine engineering and manufacturing, serving as the president of NETZSCH Premier Technologies before opening his TWS location. Winona Smith received her nursing degree from Widener University and works as a pediatric nurse for Reading Hospital.

The couple have been married for 35 years and have two adult children and a granddaughter.

“We know our strong technical skills, experience managing a team and commitment to customer service will help us make our TWS location a success,” Randy Smith said. “We’re proud to offer a cost-effective system that provides a needed service in a safe manner. There is a lot of growth in the area and we’re here to meet the needs of the community as it builds more homes, schools, hospitals and infrastructure.”

Temporary Wall Systems provides modular wall systems that are designed with versatility in mind. The company’s full-service business model simplifies construction and renovation by taking care of the entire containment process, from job site delivery to expert installation and removal when the project is complete. The Allentown/Lancaster location serves Allentown, Bethlehem, Collegeville, Dowingtown, Easton, Elizabethtown, Exton, Harrisburg, Hershey, Kennett Square, Lancaster, Lebanon, Mechanicsburg, Phoenixville, Pottstown, Quakertown, Reading, West Chester and York.

TWS is part of HomeFront Brands, a family of emerging, franchised residential and commercial property service brands that offers integrated technology, data support, lead generation, business intelligence systems and training to its partners.

Owner to help area contractors provide a safe and sustainable temporary wall system. 

MEADOWLANDS, N.J. — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will open a new location in The Meadowlands on Labor Day – its third venue in New Jersey.

Owner Ken Papile said TWS’s turn-key approach will help local businesses solve the problem of additional waste that is created when disposable temporary walls are built to protect people from areas of construction and renovation. Most contractors usually construct these walls from drywall and other permanent materials that have to be tossed into landfills once the wall comes down after renovations.

“Temporary Wall Systems has created a rentable wall that is easy to install and produces little to no waste when it’s taken down,” he said. “I love that our rentable containment walls are a fast and reliable solution to protect people from the dust, noise and demolition during a renovation or construction project.”

Papile is a New York area native and graduate of Iona University in New Rochelle, New York. Prior to opening Temporary Wall Systems Meadowlands, he spent years as a sales executive for several large clothing and apparel distributors.

In addition to his corporate positions, Papile has also owned and operated a few businesses, including a company that renovates and rehabilitates older homes for resale. He said that when he researched TWS, he became impressed with its franchise model and knew the idea of rentable, reusable walls was a solid investment.

“The TWS system is a win-win for the contractor and the customer,” he said. “It’s more cost effective for the contractor and eliminates the need to fill up a landfill with permanent building materials that were only used for a temporary purpose.”

Papile said he also wants to create a long-term business in the Meadowlands area that he can keep in the family for years to come. He and his wife, Elissa, have three children: Giuliana, 9, Vienna, 7 and Milo, 3.

“I love this area because you can get pretty much anything you want in New Jersey,” he said. “There are beachy areas along the New Jersey shore, and there are rural areas, suburban areas and, of course, you can enjoy being close to New York City. It’s a great place to live, work and open a business.”

TWS is part of HomeFront Brands, a family of emerging, franchised residential and commercial property service brands that offers integrated technology, data support, lead generation, business intelligence systems and training to its partners.

Local owner will host a grand opening event for the new location at a facility management association golf tournament on Sept. 6. 

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will highlight its latest location in South Jersey at an International Facility Management Association (IFMA) annual golf outing at Running Deer Golf Club in Pittsgrove, New Jersey on Sept. 6.

Temporary Wall Systems South Jersey is an official sponsor of the golf event and local owner Sam Adler said he hopes to get the word out about the new location to area facilities managers and general contractors who attend the event.

Adler said he believes that the growth in the number of commercial renovations and construction projects in the South Jersey area provides a natural customer base for the temporary and reusable containment system his TWS location provides.

“When I was looking for investment opportunities, I saw the Temporary Wall Systems franchise and fell in love with the model,” he said. “During my research, I validated that a rental model for hard, modular temporary walls wasn’t a ‘nice to have’ option, but a ‘need to have’ option,” he said. “There is a great demand in this area for a temporary hard wall containment solution that is not only able to contain construction dust, noise and foot traffic, but is aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sustainable. Because the TWS walls are refreshed and reused, literally tons of scrap is prevented from going into our landfills.”

Adler has worked in executive leadership positions for the majority of his entire professional life, and he is confident that his background in leading marketing teams and raising brand awareness will help him expand his company.

“There are a lot of health care facilities, labs, hotels, casinos, office spaces, universities and many other commercial spaces in this area that will want the containment these walls provide as they begin remodeling projects,” he said. “Contractors are relieved to have a containment subcontractor option in the area. Building temporary containment from scratch can be expensive, unreliable and wasteful. Facility managers are thrilled when they see the aesthetic quality of TWS walls, how permanent they look, and how we help them meet their sustainability mandates.”

Adler pointed out that the reusable walls are fire rated, and also meet the Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) Best Practices in Health Care Construction, so they will be most welcome in protecting workers, staff and patients in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

He and his wife, Fabienne, expect that his TWS location will provide local employment and also be able to give back to his community through a variety of charitable associations.

TWS South Jersey serves the entire South Jersey area, including cities such as Absecon, Atlantic City, Blackwood, Bordentown, Brigantine, Burlington, Camden, Cherry Hill, Delran, Deptford, Egg Harbor Township, Glassboro, Gloucester, Hamilton Township, Linwood, Longport, Margate City, Marlton, Marmora, Medford, Moorestown, Mount Laurel, Mt.

Local owners want to build a sustainable business that also provides good employment for area residents. 

FORT WORTH, Texas — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will showcase its new Fort Worth location with a booth at the Build Fort Worth Expo at the Will Rogers Memorial Center on Friday, Aug. 18.

Owners Steve and Helen Holden said they want their TWS location to provide contractors in the Fort Worth area with a more sustainable option to building temporary walls with permanent materials during renovations.

“We want to help keep building materials out of landfills and our temporary, rentable walls are a perfect way to do this,” Steve Holden said. “These walls provide contractors with a way to erect barriers that protect people and property from construction but are easily removed after construction is complete. In time, we hope this business grows to provide good employment opportunities for the area, as well.”

The Holdens are originally from New Zealand but came to the United States 22 years ago as Steve Holden built his career in the telecommunications industry. Helen Holden also built a career managing a number of retail and fashion-related outlets. The couple lived in several cities throughout the United States before moving to Texas nine years ago.

“My time spent in customer service will be a plus as we build this business,” she said. “I like getting to know what customers truly need so that I can provide the service they want. Our Temporary Wall Systems location will allow us to hone our networking and sales skills to get the business kicked off right and running efficiently in no time.”

Steve Holden said the couple has fallen in love with the Dallas/Fort Worth community and wants to cement their ties by opening a local business that can improve the lives of contractors, residents and workers.

“There has been enormous growth in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and we’re excited to be a part of it,” he said. “It’s this growth and opportunity for new business that will drive our success.”
