The Portland HBA (Home Builders Association) needs your help. During the month of December they need volunteers to help set tile in the newly remodeled Cordero House. Local suppliers have donated material and we now need to get it installed.
The Cordero House is a long term residential program that serves boys 14-19 & their families who are victims of sexual abuse.

Many people are making a conscious effort to choose environmentally responsible products. Unfortunately, it is easy to be confused by “green” claims in the market.
According to a report in the October 26th edition of the Wall Street Journal, “more than 95% of consumer products examined committed at least one offense of ‘greenwashing,’ a term used to describe unproven environmental claims, according to TerraChoice, a North American environmental-marketing company that issued the report.” TerraChoice was recently acquired by Underwriters Laboratories, an independent product-safety certification organization. TerraChoice and Underwriters Laboratories both offer green-certification programs.
At United Tile, we hear unsubstantiated claims on a regular basis. To ensure we are not contributing to this misinformation, we insist on having independent, third-party certification of claims made for products we sell and promote. We welcome inquiries that will allow us to provide verification.
