Rentable Containment Walls

Local owners Chris and Tiffany Kiszkiel say they are excited to provide businesses with a safer and cleaner temporary wall solution during times of expansion

HOUSTON — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first and leading full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, is celebrating the grand opening of its new Houston location with a booth at the Houston Build Expo on June 26 and 27 at the NRG Park Center.

Temporary Wall Systems owners Chris and Tiffany Kiszkiel said they are excited to offer Houston businesses with safe and reusable temporary walls that protect their customers, employees and property from renovation and construction activities. The owners will be at Booth 247 at the regional building and construction expo.

“Houston is one of the nation’s fastest growing cities, and that means that there is a lot of construction and renovation going on here at all times,” Chris Kiszkiel said. “Many businesses want to stay open while they expand or renovate, but they have to protect their employees and customers from the perils of construction when they do. Our temporary walls go up easily, offer protection during construction, and then come down easily and can be reused once renovations are completed.”

The Kiszkiels are both Houston natives and have spent most of their professional lives working for the freight and transportation industries. Chris Kiszkiel owned and managed trucking companies and also worked in maintenance and logistics, while Tiffany Kiszkiel worked in sales and fleet management.

“Owning our own franchise is a dream come true,” Tiffany Kiszkiel said. “Every day at our Temporary Wall Systems location will be motivating, and we’ll be following our passion and our dream of creating financial independence.”

They also want to create generational wealth they can pass on to their four sons.

Temporary Wall Systems Houston services businesses in Bunker Hill Village, Hedwig Village, Houston, Hunters Creek Village, Midtown, Piney Point Village, The Memorial Villages and West University Place.

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.

Temporary Wall Systems owners Brendan and Courtney Mahoney will host a booth at the event, which showcases planned military construction in the Northwest region.

There’s no longer a need to close a business or put up permanent walls that have to be torn down and thrown into a landfill once the renovation is completed.”

The Mahoneys both grew up in the Seattle area and want to provide their hometowns with employment opportunities and environmentally friendly solutions.

Brendan Mahoney received his undergraduate degree from the University of Montana, and a master’s degree from Seattle University. He also spent eight years with the U.S. Marine Corps as a reconnaissance and infantry officer and was deployed into combat zones three times between 2006 and 2013.

Local owners Kipp and Brooke Koeppel say their reusable containment system is perfect for a growing city like Austin that is also concerned with environmental impact

AUSTIN, Texas — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first and leading full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will introduce its new Austin, Texas, location at the Austin Build Expo at the Palmer Events Center on May 22-23.

Temporary Wall Systems Austin owners Kipp and Brooke Koeppel will be on-hand at Booth 333 to give out information about the company and will offer a giveaway of a YETI 24 hard cooler.

“We’re excited about our new Temporary Wall Systems venture and look forward to bringing a cleaner, more efficient containment and abatement solution to the Austin construction industry,” Kipp Koeppel said. “Austin is a rapidly growing city, and there is a lot of construction and renovation as a result. Our system will allow businesses to safely expand and reinvent themselves while continuing to operate as usual and do it in a way that is better for the environment.”

The Koeppels moved to Austin in 2020 after spending several years in Charlotte, North Carolina. The couple met while selling advertising at an Alabama newspaper. Kipp Koeppel then spent the next 15 years in the financial services industry in a variety of positions, including 401(k) recordkeeping, sales and relationship management.

Brooke Koeppel continued her work in sales before eventually moving on to staffing and then financial advisor recruiting for several large financial institutions.

In addition to their corporate jobs, the couple also invested in real estate and rental properties over the past 14 years, doing a lot of the renovation work themselves. It is with this experience that they saw a need in the market for reliable contractors with a focus on customer service.

After moving to Austin, the couple introduced The Brothers that just do Gutters franchise to the area and have since earned recognition as a “Best Place to Work” by the Austin Business Journal in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

“We love Austin’s unique vibe, plentiful outdoor activities, delicious food options and live music scene,” Brooke Koeppel said. “Opening another franchise in this community just solidified our commitment to invest in Austin and all it has to offer.”

The couple believes their experience in sales, marketing, recruiting, HR, accounting, operations, home improvement and social media will prove valuable in launching their TWS location.

“I’m on a mission to transform the local construction landscape,” owner Jennifer Dice said. “Temporary Wall Systems has the perfect solution to elevate the standard of renovation projects in the Las Vegas area. They’re safer, more convenient and more visually appealing than temporary walls made of permanent material. To top it off, they can be reused, so that material doesn’t end up in our landfills.”

Dice and her husband, Skylar, moved to the area two years ago, and her professional experience includes casino marketing and operations and economic development. She brings the skills she learned at these positions to her Temporary Wall Systems venture.

“Starting a new business will provide me with an ever-evolving learning experience to foster personal and professional growth,” she said. “I’m committed to making a positive impact in my local community by providing a superior containment wall solution. Las Vegas is always growing and expanding, and these walls are perfect for an area that sees a lot of construction and renovation.”

Dice said she chose HomeFront Brands, Temporary Wall Systems’ parent company, as her franchising partner because of its alignment with her goals.

“The TWS team shares my vision, values and goals,” she said. “Working with their team has been both exciting and rewarding.”

They will be giving away a Yeti 45 Hard Cooler at the event.

“We have lived in a variety of locations around the U.S., and there is no other place that we wanted to start our business together than right here in Metro Detroit, which is where I was born and raised,” said Scott Harrison. “Nadine and I have been married for 30 years and have raised two children. Now, we want to extend our partnership to include the ownership of Temporary Wall Systems Ann Arbor and Sterling Heights. We want to build a legacy together.”

Harrison’s professional background in film production, marketing and advertising works seamlessly with Nadine Harrison’s background in sales, customer service and event planning. The couple wants to combine their skills to offer local builders a sustainable and durable, yet temporary containment option that protect people and property from construction.

“I’ve worked in several exciting industries, from riverboats to planning private events,” Nadine Harrison said. “But starting this venture with Scott is my most exhilarating experience to date. We’re thrilled to connect with our extensive local contacts to bring this modern product to market and position our businesses for success.”

Ritter, who boasts 12 years of service in the Air National Guard, is passionate about Michigan’s natural beauty.

“The modular walls that Temporary Wall Systems provides align with my love for the great outdoors because they limit the amount of construction waste that enters local landfills,” he said. “There’s no reason to build temporary walls out of permanent material that must be torn down and thrown away. TWS’s rental-ready solutions solve that crucial problem.”

Ritter has a bachelor’s degree in aviation flight technology and has a background in business ownership and financial management.

The Great Lakes Design & Construction Expo is hosted by the Construction Association of Michigan and the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan.

Local owner Sam Adler was honored with the award for his outstanding character and dedication to HomeFront Brands’ superior service

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Temporary Wall Systems South Jersey owner Sam Adler was presented with the HomeFront Brands’ prestigious CARES Award for his dedication to the principles of the franchising company’s values.

HomeFront Brands, the property service franchise platform with six emerging concepts in its portfolio, hosted its inaugural convention in Charlotte, North Carolina last month. The company presented this prestigious award to outstanding franchise owners from four of its core brands: Temporary Wall Systems, Top Rail Fence, The Designery and Window Hero.

The CARES Award is named for the company’s core values of community, accountability, respect, excellence and service and is determined by a vote of the franchisee community at the event.

“Sam Adler’s commitment to the South Jersey community and to HomeFront Brands’ value system is more than exceptional,” said HomeFront Brands Chairman and CEO Jeff Dudan. “HomeFront Brands has seen tremendous growth over the last year and Sam’s hard work and unwavering dedication has been a contributing factor in that success. This award is a testament to his outstanding character and willingness to go that extra mile.”

Adler’s TWS location opened in September after he saw a need in the South Jersey area for a containment management system that reduced landfill waste and controlled construction debris in an aesthetically pleasing manner. He said that these reusable walls also meet the Infection Control Risk Assessment Class V (ICRA V) Best Practices in Health Care Construction, so they are ideal to use in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

“Winning an award is already a wonderful experience, but to be honored because you were recognized by your peers is an incredibly humbling experience,” Adler said. “I saw a need in my community for a reusable and temporary wall system and set out to provide that service. I’m grateful that my vision has been noticed by others in my franchising family.”

Before opening his TWS location, Adler worked in executive leadership positions for the majority of his entire professional life. His entrepreneurial spirit is matched by his sense of community. He hopes Temporary Wall Systems South Jersey will continue to work as a vehicle for community empowerment by providing employment opportunities and contributing to local causes.

Both owners say their new Temporary Wall Systems location will provide local contractors with a better and more sustainable product to protect people and property from construction and renovation projects. Eugene, Oregon, the largest city in the Willamette Valley area, is known as a leader in sustainability with a history of commitment to climate action, according to the city’s website.

“That’s the most exciting part about owning a TWS in this area,” Pettus-Czar said. “Lane, Benton and Deschutes counties are all experiencing significant growth and modernization. This revitalization will mean that many companies will need to remodel occupied space. Our product satisfies a critical need to provide contractors with a sustainable and reusable wall system that is particularly attractive to the people of this community who value this approach.”

Sheppard grew up in Willamette Valley and said his childhood was spent picking fruit in the area’s many local orchards.

“I learned about growing and working with food, which gave me a deep appreciation of the land,” he said. “I’ve also been involved in the remodeling, buildout and opening of many small businesses. It was the combination of my love of the land and my experiences building up small businesses that drew me to Temporary Wall Systems.”

Sheppard received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Oregon. He is married and has two children.

For his part, Pettus-Czar was born in Texas, grew up in New Mexico, and holds two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Kansas and the University of Oregon. He moved to Eugene in 2009 and has stayed in the area ever since. He is married and has a 2-year-old son.

“This community is great,” he said. “You get a lot of bang for your buck, and it’s a great place to raise a family. It’s hard to beat.”

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.
