From Richard Doty, Owner of Texas Cement Products:

“We did it because we saw a need! This is a very worthwhile project and the fact that NTCA stood behind it made it even more valuable to us. There is a need for these types of projects in our community, and the partners who stepped to the plate here in Houston are doing good work that needs to be done.”

Houston SuperBUILD (Texas, March 2004)

Texas Cement Company donated its Tex Rite Ceramabond Tile Setting Mortar and MP Sanded Grout for 11 of the 34 homes tiled as part of the Houston Habitat for Humanity SuperBUILD in March 2004. Ten of those homes included twice as much tile as the other homes built by the affiliate, for a total of 7,100 square feet. Richard and Elizabeth Doty have owned Texas Cement for 40 years and jumped at the chance to participate when asked by NTCA to consider the project.
