3rdGenWestSeattleParticipantLooking for a local company/person experienced in rock walls built with local rocks and mortar. Have one about 20 inches high by 20 feet that needs repair: new concrete footer, drainage, re-using original rocks.

redblackParticipantthis is mainly for posterity and those looking for local masonry services.
i’ve posted advice on masonry repairs here plenty of times, and, until last november, i worked for a small contractor who did chimneys and other residential masonry. so occasionally i’d try to drum up business for him via the forums.
i should also point out that i’m a hod carrier, not a bricklayer. we and the bricklayers have two separate unions, and we have different responsibilities on the job. i’m actually a member of the laborers’ union, so i load trucks, set up jobs, build scaffold, stock material, mix mortar, tend to bricklayers’ every need, and tear down and clean up when we’re finished.
but i’m also a homeowner, as well as a tradesman, so i know what i’m looking at, especially when it comes to masonry.
in january i started a new gig, working for one of the biggest masonry contractors on the west coast. i’m fully employed again, plus overtime, and i’ve had to ignore the intertoobz for a while. today is a rare day off – and man, what a nice day!
anyway, to those seeking advice, it’s free, and i still have a gmail address.
(w.s.redblack)
but readers should know that i, myself, don’t do side work, largely for insurance and liability purposes. i.e. i’m not a licensed contractor. so if i break my neck working on your house, i’m screwed. if your chimney leaks after i work on it, you’re screwed.
cheers, and happy hunting.
