Cement Mason

Cement Masons work with concrete to shape it into a finished product. The typical work is pouring and shaping concrete into floors, sidewalks, roads and curbs. Heavy Highway – Roads and bridges. Building trades – High schools, parking garages, universities.

Plasterers apply wet plaster to interior walls and ceilings. This material forms fire resistant and nearly soundproof surfaces. This work is precise as plasterers must ensure that the entire surface being plastered is covered completely and evenly.
