Five companies have recently earned certification through the Masonry Certification program, sponsored by the Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA).

Forrest & Associate, Inc. of Des Moines, IA; Genco Masonry, Inc. of Bethesda, MD; Masonry Arts, Inc. of Bessemer, AL; Wasco Inc. of Nashville, TN; and Advanced Masonry Systems Inc. of Hunt Valley, MD.

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 is 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,” said 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.”
