Which code does this activity belong in?

Roofing Contractors comprises establishments primarily engaged in installing roofs, treating roof surfaces through spraying, painting, or coating, and installing skylights. The distinction from Siding Contractors lies in the work location and material focus; roofing work addresses the top horizontal or sloped surfaces of buildings, while siding contractors work on vertical exterior walls. The roofing classification covers new construction, additions, alterations, maintenance, and repair work performed on roof systems.
