Which code does this activity belong in?
Tile and terrazzo contractors install ceramic tile, stone, and mosaic materials, or mix marble particles with cement to create terrazzo surfaces at job sites. The distinction from painting and wall covering contractors lies in the permanent installation of hard surface materials rather than application of coatings. Flooring contractors handle resilient flooring installation, while tile and terrazzo contractors focus on non-resilient tile and stone surfaces.
