What Does MIA Accreditation Mean to You?
The Marble Institute of America (MIA) Accreditation for natural stone fabricators recognizes those companies that meet the industry’s highest standards for business activities, product knowledge, fabrication and installation. The MIA accredits companies, not individuals.
To earn MIA Accreditation, a company must complete an intensive, rigorous process that includes documentation of its business and employment practices, letters of recommendation, a written examination and site visits, including OSHA inspections, to the facility and completed jobs.
For residential and commercial applications, MIA Accreditation signifies that a natural stone fabricator or contractor:
-
Is experienced in stone fabrication, installation and maintenance
-
Is a solid, reputable business
-
Operates in a responsible manner and follows strict safety standards
-
Is dedicated to a quality product, quality installation and total customer
satisfaction.
