Southwest Scaffolding Renews Silver Partnership in the 2026 Masonry Alliance Program

The Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) is pleased to announce that Southwest Scaffolding will renew its Silver partnership in the 2026 Masonry Alliance Program. Southwest Scaffolding's commitment to quality significantly contributes to the masonry industry, and we are looking forward to continuing our collaboration in the new year!

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 is structured into four tiers: Cornerstone, Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Benefits such as event attendance, advertising in MASONRY Magazine, sponsorships, content development, and more are exclusive to the 70 companies within this program. All remaining 2026 Masonry Alliance Program spots are open to the public.
