<p>According to the Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA), quality of work and end-user satisfaction are the founding of the certificate program. \"We developed the Masonry Certificate program to provide customers with a tool to select mason contractors, who are committed to quality and have backed it up with a commitment to continually educate themselves and their key employees,\" said Jeff Buczkiewicz, executive director of the MCAA. The certificate is good for three years, but a company can renew it by demonstrating that it continues to meet certificate requirements.</p>
