Which code does this activity belong in?
Residential remodelers modify, repair, or add to existing residential buildings, whether single-family or multifamily. This industry is distinguished from new construction codes by its focus on work performed on already-built structures rather than ground-up development. Establishments in 236115, 236116, and 236117 construct new residential housing from the foundation up, whereas 236118 covers all remodeling, alteration, reconstruction, maintenance, and repair work on residential buildings that already exist.
