Preston Achilles
Supplier of the Year Dunn-Edwards Paints
Subcontractor of the Year Achilles Air Conditioning Systems
As one of the largest employee-owned manufacturers of paint in the Southwest, it makes sense that Dunn-Edwards is the go-to supplier for members of the building and design trades, as well as homeowners. Although it began as a wallpaper store in 1925, the company now has stores throughout the region, with 90 percent of its products used by painting professionals and contractors. Dunn-Edwards Paints is widely seen as one of the greenest paint manufacturers on the market. Sam Samaniego is architectural representative with the firm.
With more than 30 years in the business in Southern Arizona, Achilles Air Conditioning Systems specializes in commercial mechanical systems, working not only in HVAC but also renovation and new construction projects, sheet metal fabrication, maintenance and preventative work, and both fabrication and installation. The services offered by this family-owned company headed by Prestin Achilles cover the spectrum, from small home offices to large businesses.
