CEMENT MASONS
Concrete is the most widely used building material. Cement Masons place and finish concrete according to specifications on roads, buildings, homes, sports arenas, and bridges – in fact, almost all man-made structures. In addition to hard trowel, broom and exposed aggregate, we can make concrete look like any natural material, such as slate, brick, wood or stone. We color, stain, polish, and stencil concrete. Imagination is the only limitation. We also set forms, repair concrete with cement-based products, and perform structural repairs such as epoxy injection and fiber wrap. We also apply decorative and commercial toppings of epoxy, acrylic, and polymer-based floor installations. In addition, we know how to operate many types of power equipment and the tools used in concrete placement and finishing.

PLASTERERS
The history of plastering of walls or ceilings dates back as far as 9,000 years ago. The material was used to set stone blocks and, ultimately, go over these blocks to make an attractive surface that could be painted or drawn on. As the material evolved, so did the craftsmen. Today, the trade of plastering has continued to develop while embracing new knowledge and skills and combing those with new materials that last longer, look better, and add a cost effectiveness that is equal or better to any other building product at this time.
We are a professional trade union that represents its membership with the highest integrity and ethical values. We realize that our success stems from dedication to quality workmanship, training, and concern for the financial well-being of our members.
