The best craftsman is the professional masonry contractor. Masonry structures are notable for their beauty, versatility, and ability to survive earthquakes and fire.
Clay brick is the oldest manufactured product and has been used in building construction for more than 6,000 years. Clay brick is only one aspect of masonry. Your masonry contractor works with these mediums: stone, mortar, grout, cements, plasters and stucco, concrete, cast stone, and other earthen material like adobe and terra cotta, as well as various coatings to preserve and protect your installation.
As building technologies go, masonry is often much more expensive than wood construction, but is desirable and is pleasing to the eye. Using stone and brick can make a building look as though it has stood for 200 years. On the opposite foot, concrete can be used for a more modern industrial appearance. Both can be done through the skill and craftsmanship of a quality, experienced masonry contractor.

Oregon's contrasting physical features are characterized by great forested mountain slopes and treeless basins, rushing rivers and barren playas, lush valleys and extensive wastelands. The major determinant for these unusual climatic differences is the Cascade Range, a rugged mountain chain running north to south c.100 mi (160 km) inland. As the eastward-moving air masses, warmed by the Alaska Current and heavy with moisture from the Pacific Ocean, rise and meet the cooler mountain temperatures, rain is precipitated over the western third of Oregon. Dry air and continental climate prevail over the eastern two thirds of the state.
