Southwest Scaffolding Continues Silver Membership in the 2025 Masonry Alliance Program

Words: Mason Contractors

The Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) is pleased to announce that Southwest Scaffolding will renew its Silver membership in the 2025 Masonry Alliance Program. Southwest Scaffolding's expertise and commitment to quality significantly contribute to the advancement of the masonry industry. We are proud to continue our collaboration and anticipate the valuable contributions they will bring to the field.

Southwest Scaffolding began as a commercial masonry contractor in the early 1990s, completing numerous multi-million dollar projects over the next two decades. During the Great Recession, the company shifted its focus from construction to selling and renting scaffolding. Unlike many competitors, Southwest Scaffolding has firsthand experience using the scaffolding they sell, understanding its performance in the field, durability over time, and impact on the bottom line. With deep knowledge of construction, OSHA regulations, and scaffolding, they only sell products they would use themselves. Southwest Scaffolding is dedicated to finding the highest quality products at reasonable prices, passing these benefits on to their clients to provide a competitive edge. They work closely with clients to ensure they purchase only what is needed to complete projects efficiently, stay OSHA compliant, and minimize labor costs.

The Masonry Alliance Program has a permanent cap of 70 companies, and all renewals of current Partners will be finalized by the end of October. Starting November 1st, all remaining spots will be made available to the industry.
