Two companies certified at MCAA Convention

The MCAA congratulates newest certified companies

By Tim O’Toole

Pinnacle Masonry, Inc. of Cary, N.C. and Stone Cold Masonry of Phoenix are the latest companies to have earned certification through the Masonry Certification program, sponsored by the Mason Contractors Association of America (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 at the foundation of the certification program. Companies must earn 100 credit hours and pass an exam in order to become certified. In addition, companies must obtain 75 credits every three years to renew their certification.

"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," said Jeff Buczkiewicz, President and CEO of the 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."
