The Wall And Ceiling Alliance (WACA) held its annual Construction Excellence Awards (CEA) ceremony on June 14, 2018 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California, where distinguished wall and ceiling contractors were honored for their exceptional wall and ceiling projects. Four Excellence in Safety awards were also presented to contractors for their dedication in keeping our workforce safe. With over 300 guests in attendance, the CEA is one of the largest wall and ceiling awards programs in the western region.
WACA is proud to recognize this year’s awards recipients. “Whether the project is large or small, in order to even qualify for a CEA the workmanship should be outstanding in every way,” WACA Board President Jim Ruane says. Congratulations to the companies and workfo
rce that took home a crystal award for their achievements.
