At 5Star, our professional staff is highly trained, involved in the education and professional associations within the engraving industry, abreast of all the new products and processes within the industry, and constantly growing to provide these to our customers. We work with a wide variety of substrates, from marble and granite, to glass and crystal, to metals and plastics, to acrylics, wood and ceramic tiles. The list goes on.
5Star is affiliated with various local Chambers – Apex, Holly Springs, Cary and Raleigh -- as well as the HomeBuilders Association of Raleigh-Wake County, the Awards and Recognition Association (ARA), Rotary International and Business Networking International (BNI). Jeff and Lisa are active members of Hope Community Church and frequently use the business to support community projects and missions that are sponsored by Hope.
We actually do our own engraving, etching, painting and design IN HOUSE, which is key. Of course we have the resources to outsource certain products (large quantity ad specialty items are a perfect example of something we would outsource), but bottom line our name is on everything we produce, so we want it to represent our quality standards.
This website is our online showroom, but we have many items available that are not on the site. Because we deal with customers across the US, we are accessible 24/7 online, and use the virtual capabilities of the web to research and provide ideas as well as proofs for our customers nationwide. We work with your timeline, so your project is in hand when you need it. We do all of our work from our manufacturing facility in North Carolina, and we are hands-on with every project. We started the business in 1999, and we have many customers who have been on our “team” for that entire time! It’s all about the relationship, and we treasure them!
We also have a division that takes digital images from art and photography and reproduces these images on fabulous tile and glass pieces, from small gift items to walls and murals that will take your breath away. Our ExquisiTile division, also an IN HOUSE part of the business, is meeting with fantastic response from custom builders, architects, tile companies and interior decorators. We are very excited about this product and have a separate website coming soon! Stay tuned!
