You are holding the premier edition of the AWCI Contractor Directory. Based on the format introduced in The Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry—International’s Who’s Who directory of contractor, supplier and manufacturer members, this first annual section highlights the industry’s leading wall and ceiling contractors. The prestigious companies on the following pages are commit- ted to industry excellence and continued growth into the 21st century. Whether looking to keep a pulse on market leaders or to establish cooperative business arrangements with fellow con- tractors, this directory will surely become an indispensable part of your resource library To make the section easy to use, the wall and ceiling contract- ing companies are sorted alphabetically by state. Along with each company name, you will find the phone number and fields of construction experience (an “X” indicates that the company does perform this type of work; a “—” means the company did not identify the field of experience). (Printed in this section are only the fields in which 35 percent or more of AWCI member work is done. Contact AWCI for the full fields listing.) If you need additional information on any member company, you can find it on AWCI’s web site at http://www.awci.org.
