Dee Brown, Inc. of Dallas, Texas, has earned certification through the Masonry Certification program, sponsored by the Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA).

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 have backed it up with a commitment to continually educate themselves and all their key employees. Quality of work and end-user satisfaction are the foundation of the certification program. In addition, companies must renew their certification every three years.

“We congratulate Dee Brown’s commitment to demonstrate their quality service. Our goal is to provide architects, designers, construction contractors and consumers with an easy way to select and specify professional mason contractors,” said Jeff Buczkiewicz, Executive Director of MCAA. “Certification now gives them the tools to seek out contractors who have committed their entire firm to meet the stringent requirements of the program.”

Rob Barnes is President and COO of Dee Brown, Inc., an installer of products related to all forms of stone, conventional masonry, panelized masonry, glass block, and reinforced masonry. Barnes says, “We have a responsibility within the industry to become more educated. By becoming more educated, we will strengthen the industry and the level of competition. Competition is positive, if it is competent competition.”
