Steve G. Smithwick is the President and CEO of Master Wall and Creative Wall Products, Inc., two companies specializing in engineered exterior wall systems that provide aesthetic value and energy efficiency for buildings. Steve founded Master Wall in 1987 and Creative Wall Products in 2005 to offer high-quality products, exceptional customer service, and competitive pricing.
With nearly four decades of experience in the building materials industry, Steve has developed extensive expertise in residential and commercial wall systems. His deep understanding of exterior insulation and finishing systems (EIFS) has been integral to his success. Steve advocates for systems like the Continuous Insulation and Finish System (CIFS®), which enhances thermal efficiency by reducing energy loss, a common problem in traditional stud and joist systems. His focus on energy-efficient solutions has positioned Master Wall as a recognized leader in EIFS and related products such as air/water barriers, coatings, and adhesives.
His Christian faith is at the core of Steve’s career, which he credits as the guiding force behind his achievements. His corporate mission reflects this belief, stating a commitment to seek God’s guidance in every decision and to give glory to Him for any success. Steve’s leadership encourages employees to maintain high standards in both their professional and personal lives. This approach has helped Master Wall grow into an industry leader known for its integrity and commitment to quality.
Steve’s journey in the construction industry began with his education at Southern Technical Institute (now Kennesaw State University). In 1987, he saw an opportunity to offer affordable, high-quality siding products for commercial exteriors, creating Creative Wall Products. The company provided cost-effective commercial facade solutions, including finishes rivaling traditional materials such as stucco, metal, and wood.
Under Steve’s leadership, both Master Wall and Creative Wall Products have seen significant growth. The companies have expanded their manufacturing locations and invested in product and system testing to remain at the forefront of the industry. Smithwick continues to be an influential voice in the EIFS industry, promoting energy-efficient and moisture-resistant systems.
Steve G. Smithwick is also dedicated to his community. He serves as a Board Member at Calvary Christian School and has coached high school boys' basketball for over a decade. Steve resides in Fortson, GA, with his wife, Donnie, and their family, where his faith and leadership continue to have a lasting impact.
