Cement Masons are skilled in their craft as well as in working to bring in the job on time and within budget. Once an apprentice earns his journeyman status, his skill becomes an asset. This asset is most-needed and is recognized by all union contractors. Cement Mason journeymen are considered to be on the “upper-end” of the construction industry wage and benefits scale.
