We had the opportunity to work with Blankenship Associates, Inc. on a new Elementary School in Raleigh, NC. The Blankenship team was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning thru project completion and beyond. Their team was courteous, responsive and always there to support the best interest of the project to ensure a successful outcome. It goes without saying we look forward to the next opportunity to work with Blankenship
Bobby Anweiler – Clancy & Theys Construction Company – Raleigh, NC
Blankenship maintains a level of care and concern that is frequently missing in customer/company relationships today. Traci worked tirelessly to provide cost-effective options that brought our school’s media centers up-to-date. She took each job -no matter how big or small- to heart and personally ensured that every single item was ordered, on time, and was exactly as we specified. Although she worked on many orders for other districts and companies, I always felt like I was her only client. There was never a time that they did not deliver on a promise. Because they have built longstanding relationships with many providers, I always got the best price on the most current items. I cannot recommend this company highly enough and I would go to them first for any furniture needs. You can trust and rely on Blankenship Associates!!!

I was working on a large furniture package with a tight budget and unique needs. Caroline and her team were extremely helpful in offering cost-saving ideas and product comparisons. Their quick response, honest opinions, and insight helped save the project and my sanity. I would highly recommend working with Blankenship Associates for any of your project needs.

I have been working with Blankenship Associates for many years and I feel that every project with Traci, Caroline and the rest of their staff results in a good project. Along with offering quality products, the folks at Blankenship provide excellent service for each project. These people are passionate about what they do and it shows in every step of the process beginning with the design process and throughout construction and the final installation. I have had some challenging projects during those years of working with Blankenship, and they will go the extra mile to make these any difficult situation work. Their business is run with integrity, honesty, and a commitment to excellence.

I have greatly enjoyed working with Blankenship Associates for many years. As the Director of Library and Information Studies in Guilford County Schools and now professor at UNCG, I have had the wonderful pleasure to be on several building advisory teams for new and renovated school libraries. The Blankenship team has always been there to support the learning needs of students and offer creative ideas to make tired spaces more innovative. Their passionate team works tirelessly with the school to find just the right fit in color, accessible furniture, and style to make the school library atmosphere more inviting and conducive to learning. Through their expertise and creative incite, they are able to provide the layout, flexibility, and style to inspire creativity and support the learning process in our students. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with these amazing professionals to prepare learning spaces for our future leaders.

Blankenship Associates and Traci Smith have been outstanding to work with. A high level of customer service, great options available as we look for unique solutions, and very detail oriented. They were an important part of our planning and opening of Reynolds Coliseum as Traci and her team were able to supply a wide variety of options as a one stop solution.
