It is with great pride that we introduce this year’s winners of the annual Rural Builder Gold Key of Excellence. For the past 32 years, Rural Builder has sponsored this award, relying on the results of a ballot process that allows builders in the rural industry to tell us which companies provide the best products and services time and time again.
We typically start the process in late February and announce the final selections in our July issue. Companies with the most votes receive the Gold Key of Excellence Award.
This year, we are awarding 59 companies. Our congratulations to these 59 Gold Key winners and all the dedicated people who help make those companies successful.
