Shadrock & Williams, a top-tier masonry and wall cladding contractor, is the latest company to have earned certification through the Masonry Certification Program, sponsored by the Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA). Known for their work on commercial and large-scale projects, Shadrock & Williams has successfully completed hundreds of challenging, grand, and complex projects, establishing an unmatched reputation for capability and ethics.

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.

In addition, companies must obtain 45 credits every three years to renew their certification.

“We congratulate Shadrock & Williams in their commitment to quality service. Our goal is to provide architects, designers, general contractors, and consumers with an easy way to select and specify professional mason contractors,” said Jeff Buczkiewicz, President and CEO of the MCAA. “Certification allows them to easily find contractors who have committed their entire firm to meet the stringent requirements of the program.”
