David G. Allen established his tile, marble, and terrazzo company in 1920. Allen, an exceptionally skilled craftsman in the masonry arts, was often called on to perform the most difficult, challenging, and complex projects. His commitment to excellent quality and ethical business practices quickly drove his small company to be the preferred tile, marble, and terrazzo company in the region.
Robert Roberson, the current Chairman of the Board, began his career with David Allen in 1957 and purchased the company in 1967. Knowing the value of David Allen’s foundation of high standards and ethical business practices, Roberson and his leadership team remain committed to David Allen’s beginning principles, the result of which has placed the company as one of the largest and most respected tile, marble, and terrazzo companies in the nation with offices in Raleigh, NC; Washington, DC; South Florida; Columbia, SC; Birmingham, AL; and Charlotte, NC.
The company’s work—in airports, museums, hotels, hospitals, coliseums, schools and universities—has received more industry awards for workmanship and professionalism than any similar firm in the US.
