  • As an independent spec writer, MWA has been a trusted resource for many years on all types of roofing and related enclosure weatherproofing systems. The technical support and specification reviews have been of a high quality with an attention to detail that can only be found among individuals that live, breathe, and understand the nuances of their business. Response times and follow-up are also exceptional. The service provided by MWA is one I place a high value on, as it ultimately saves me time in the preparation of technical specifications. Amy Baker, Amy Baker Arc
  • I don’t know that we could have achieved our level of success without the continued support of MWA. From providing technical support and knowledge of the products that you represent; to the relentless pursuit of client satisfaction, we could not have asked for a better industry partner. Brian McDonald, J&L Roofing Company
  • As an architect, I rely on my product representatives to be knowledgeable and responsive when I need assistance with getting or understanding information about their products and systems. Over the years MWA has done an outstanding job of providing our region with Product Representatives that meet and exceed my expectations! Dawn Peterson, Neumann/Smith Architecture
