Starke Client Testimonials

Robert F. Henry Tile Company | Robert Henry, Jr. & Robert Henry, III

…With Starke’s help we were able to overcome the many problems created by the fire.”

A tile wholesale distributor and retailer based in Montgomery, Alabama, Robert Henry Tile Company has been serving the Alabama tile market since 1933. The company now has five showroom and warehouse locations in Alabama (Montgomery, Birmingham, Greystone, Huntsville, and Tuscaloosa) and one location in Florida (Pensacola).
With a focus strictly on ceramic tile and stone, Robert Henry Tile Company searches the world for the best products at the best values. They import from across the globe as well as selling several “made in Alabama” products.

Starke Agency has managed Robert Henry Tile Company’s risk and insurance programs for over sixty years. Over that time period, the worst damage done to Robert Henry Tile Company’s facilities happened early one Saturday morning.

Robert Henry, Jr., chairman of Robert Henry Tile Company, woke to a call from the fire department. He soon learned that an electrical fire had started in an overhead area between the roof and ceiling of his warehouse/showroom. The fire had quickly escalated. Before the fire department was able to respond, the majority of the building was destroyed.

Within an hour, both the insurance company adjuster and a Starke executive were evaluating the damage. From the initial evaluation to the replacement building being completed, Starke Agency stayed in touch with Robert Henry Tile to ensure everything progressed smoothly.

In the end, Robert Henry Tile Company was able to use the insurance money to move to a more strategic location and build an improved warehouse/showroom to better fit their expanding needs.

“The fire completely destroyed our office – warehouse – showroom building. Starke Agency’s employees were extremely helpful to us as we struggled to continue servicing our customers and generating new sales. With Starke’s help we were able to overcome the many problems created by the fire.”
