Plasterer & Cement Mason Trades

About The Job

Cement Masons layout, form, grade, place and finish concrete floors, roads, sidewalks, curbs, parking lots, driveways, footers, foundations walls, etc. Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world.

Concrete is a material that must be cast in place as specified. When set and hardened it cannot be realigned or corrected. Plasterers apply plaster, cement or acrylic finish products to the interior and exterior of hospitals, office buildings, schools, warehouses, residents, shopping centers and large commercial and industrial projects, along with applying fireproofing on these projects.

Both crafts require extensive amounts of work to be performed outdoors and at times under extreme weather conditions. These are very physically demanding trades requiring strength, stamina, and flexibility. The ability to work at heights is a must.
