Same county, different material spec
A wall in Point Loma and a wall in Alpine face different problems. Shaun matches mortar, steel, drainage and materials to where the job is.
Coast
Salt air
Airborne salt works into mortar joints, concrete and natural stone. Coastal work calls for Type S or Type M mortar, corrosion-resistant ties and anchors, and sealing on schedule.
Inland & hillside
Expansive clay and temperature swings
Clay swells when wet and shrinks through the dry season, loading footings, slabs and retaining walls. Engineered footings and gravel-backfilled drainage, never native-clay backfill.
East County
Fire country
Masonry is noncombustible, so block and stone walls, veneer and hardscape double as defensible space around homes in the wildland-urban interface.
County-wide
Seismic Design Category D
Reinforcement spacing, grouted cells and anchorage for walls, chimneys and foundations follow the seismic provisions of the California Building Code everywhere Shaun works.
