Two Companies Certified at MCAA Midyear Meeting

Smith Masonry Inc. of St. Louis, Mo., and John Jackson Masonry of Sacramento, Calif., recently earned certification through the Masonry Certification program, sponsored by the MCAA. 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 end-user satisfaction. Quality of work and end-user satisfaction are the foundation of the certification program. In addition, companies must renew their certification every three years.

??“We congratulate these companies in their commitment to quality service. Our goal is to provide architects, designers, construction contractors and consumers with an easy way to select and specify professional mason contractors,” says Jeff Buczkiewicz, executive director of MCAA. “Certification now gives them the tools to seek out contractors who have committed their entire firm to meet the stringent requirements of the program.”
