Way to go Eddie!


Eddie Marquez is the crew leader for the Renaissance III project over in Chandler. Last week, Chas Roberts (A/C company) had an employee fall from 9 feet from the 2nd level. Eddie Marquez was there to provide first aid to the employee who suffered ripped tendons and loss of blood. It is such a great honor to know we have employees who are not only here to help Paul Johnson Drywall grow, but also be there for others.
