Join Us to Build Masonry's Future

Words: Melissa AguiarWithout a doubt, the influence of the masonry industry is strengthened by the unification of our contractors and suppliers. The Mason Contractors Association of America is a national trade association representing masonry contractors and suppliers in national legislative and regulatory affairs, codes and standards composition, workforce development, education, market promotion and general industry advocacy. All together, this means bigger market share for masonry systems, more work for our contractors and suppliers and savings to the cost of doing business.
