Juli Lemire, Co-Founder, Temporary Wall Systems

Juli Lemire

Born in Boston and raised in Somerville, Juli Lemire has been a New England native her entire life. Juli attended Katherine Gibbs School and worked in the local mortgage industry for over 15 years before co-founding Temporary Wall Systems in 2017.

Juli’s husband Ryan, a union carpenter with over 20 years of experience, had expressed frustration over the thousands of square feet of traditional stud and drywall being used for temporary containment, only to be discarded after project completion. Shortly after, Ryan saw a state-of-the-art reusable modular wall containment system on his jobsite and told Juli about it. Juli immediately recognized this reusable containment system as an environmentally responsible alternative to containing dust and debris.

Combining their passion for creating solutions, Juli and Ryan created a plan for this amazing opportunity. Juli realized they could satisfy the industry need for a durable containment system that withstands the rigors of an active construction environment and marry it with a full-service rental solution that they would offer to general contractors and facilities within New England. They outlined a service-oriented business model, developed a strategy for creating vendor partnerships and implemented the tried-and-true philosophy of “going the extra mile” for their clients because Juli believes that “success is all about the service.”

Juli believes in ongoing personal development and specifically recommends the principles outlined within the book, ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill, which has contributed greatly to her persistence and the success of Temporary Wall Systems.
