Ridings has spent several years interacting personally with a number of different local and national professional associations. By being connected to these associations, we are currently staying up to date on all the newest industry standards and technologies so that we can provide "quality...promised and delivered" to better service our customers.

Painting and Decoration Contractors of America (PDCA)
The PDCA is a full-service national trade association representing over 3,100 companies engaged in all sectors of the coatings application industry. Ridings uses the PDCA Standards in our proposals and contracts to help improve communication between ourselves and the client, to assist in ensuring quality, and to create a basis for evaluating the job’s requirements.

PDCA is developing industry standards, industry-specific publications and programs essential to the success of your business. From business management publications, to training and reference videos, to health and safety manuals, we are continually providing the resources you need to manage a successful painting company. PDCA Standards benefit the painting and decorating industry and the entire construction and design community.
