The integrity of building materials and construction products in general, can dictate the success or failure of large construction projects. It’s also crucial for companies to prioritize quality from the ground up. As consumers, we often only see the final product, unaware of the meticulous checks and balances behind the scenes that ensure our safety and the longevity of our structures. Ensuring this quality isn’t just about industry awards or accolades; it’s about fostering trust and a track record that speaks for itself.

Don Valdez, National Retail Sales Manager at Gates & Sons, is very well-versed in this area. For a quick Gates & Sons episode, he briefly discussed his company’s role in how they maintain their commitment to excellence. Additionally, he overviews some of their top construction products, particularly their quality control kit.
