Advanced Masonry Systems Inc. has earned certification through the newly created Masonry Certification program, sponsored by the MCAA. The company’s scope of masonry is commercial, institutional, industrial and restoration projects.

The MCAA has developed the national Masonry Certification program to provide customers with a tool to select mason contractors who are committed to quality and have backed it up with a commitment to continually educate themselves and all their key employees. Quality-of-work and end-user satisfaction are the foundation of the certification program. In addition, companies must renew their certification every three years.
