Quality Matters to Me

“Our hot spots have been reduced 93 percent over a six-month period.”
-Anthony Powers, Royal Concrete

“NHQ has greatly improved our quality control program and relationship with clients and other trades.”
-Hardit Singh, South Texas Engineering, Inc.

“The certification program has definitely made us a better company…we have discovered that questioning, redefining, and implementing the processes is just as important as ensuring compliance. Throughout the years we were able to achieve a company-wide commitment to such processes, which in return gave us the opportunity to improve on delivering our product defect free. We have been able to minimize warranty repairs, become more profitable, and most importantly the company’s morale has reached a new pinnacle.”
-Pedro Loureiro, Director of Production and Quality, All-Tech, Inc.

“NHQ is a great thing for our company. It helps us stay organized and keeps our standards to the highest level.”
-Eric Smith, Fireside Hearth & Home
