Five firms won the top award for a fourth straight year —Dow, Honeywell, James Hardie, Simpson Strong Tie and Trane. Eight other firms won A awards, for an A rank in quality or service, but not both: Bill Justus explains why the goal of the awards program helps both sides of the market. GAF-Elk (roof shingles), Hunter Douglas (window coverings) and Home Depot for quality. And BMC (lumber), Eaton (electrical products), iLevel by Weyerhaeuser (engineered wood products), Lennox (HVAC equipment) and Moen (faucets) won for service. “It’s an interesting blend of large and small firms, some repeat winners and some new,” Justus says. “We think those that have won for four straight years are especially noteworthy.

They’ve got what we’re looking for: world class excellence.” HG www.Housinggiants.com 9.10.08.Housing giants 25 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=David Weekley Homes Partners of Choice award http://www.bc.com/index.html http://www.dow.com/ http://www.honeywell.com http://www.gaf.com/General/GAFintro_MAIN.asp http://www.hunterdouglas.com http://www.homedepot.com http://www.jameshardie.com http://www.eaton.com http://www.seacoastsupplyinc.com/ http://www.ilevel.com http://www.strongtie.com/ http://www.ilevel.com http://www.suncoast-pt.com/fw/main/Home-1.html http://www.lennox.com http://www.suncoast-pt.com/fw/main/Home-1.html http://www.moen.com http://www.trane.com http://www.Housinggiants.com Table of Contents for the Digital Edition of Housing Giants - September 10, 2008Housing Giants - September 10, 2008ContentsViewpointMovesTechM&ANoted RecognitionThe TurnaroundHousing Giants - September 10, 2008Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 (Page Cover1)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 (Page Cover2)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 (Page 3)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 (Page 4)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Contents (Page 5)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Contents (Page 6)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Viewpoint (Page 7)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Viewpoint (Page 8)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Viewpoint (Page 9)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Moves (Page 10)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Moves (Page 11)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Moves (Page 12)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Moves (Page 13)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Tech (Page 14)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Tech (Page 15)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Tech (Page 16)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Tech (Page 17)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - M&A (Page 18)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - M&A (Page 19)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - M&A (Page 20)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - M&A (Page 21)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - M&A (Page 22)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - M&A (Page 23)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Noted Recognition (Page 24)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - Noted Recognition (Page 25)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - The Turnaround (Page 26)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - The Turnaround (Page 27)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - The Turnaround (Page 28)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - The Turnaround (Page 29)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - The Turnaround (Page 30)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - The Turnaround (Page 31)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - The Turnaround (Page 32)Housing Giants - September 10, 2008 - The Turnaround (Page 33)http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20090415http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20090401http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20090315http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20090301http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20090215http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20090201http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20090115http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20090105http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20081210http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20081124http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20081110http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20081024http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20081010http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20080924http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20080910http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20080825http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20080811http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20080724http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20080710http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20080623http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20080610http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20080523http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20080509http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20080424http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/reed/hg_20080410http://www.nxtbookMEDIA.com
