Get to Know Your Friends at Golden Rule

Golden Rule has been serving the Des Moines metro area for over 20 years. We are not just a company; we are a family. As a family-run business, the importance of family has always been at the forefront of our company.

Mark and Miranda Paup set out on a new journey in 1999, the company was originally named City Rule and later switched to Golden Rule in 2007. The Golden Rule name was chosen for the reason of what we stand for, treating others how we would want to be treated. In the beginning City, Rule had 4 service trucks. Heating and cooling were added to our services in 2005 and we switched to primary service in 2008. Through the years and many changes, the company continued to grow: more employees, more trucks, and more customers.
