HOWARD JACOBS MASONRY is a locally owned contracting firm established in 1946 and under third generation ownership since 1985. The principals are Scott Everist (President) and Cynthia Everist (Secretary/Treasurer). I have an engineering degree from Oregon State University, class of 1975, and have been associated with HOWARD JACOBS MASONRY since 1976. I have had approximately one half ownership or more in HOWARD JACOBS MASONRY since 1985 and have been involved in both the field and office sides of the company since 1976.

HOWARD JACOBS MASONRY is a member of the Oregon Chapter of the Mason Contractors Association, and the Masonry Institute of Oregon, both of which I am a past president. In 1994 we were the Oregon Building Congress' 'Contractor of the Year.' Our work is exclusively in the commercial and industrial fields with general contractors, construction managers and building owners.

Pictures of Jobs We've Done in the Past

The three pictures above show St. Paul Catholic Church in St. Paul, OR. The "Spring Break" earthquake damaged this historical brick church built in 1847 (the oldest brick church west of the Mississippi River). HOWARD JACOBS MASONRY was part of the team that supported the roof, dismantled the 26" thick brick walls, placed footings and rebuilt the masonry walls using a combination of structural block and original brick. HOWARD JACOBS MASONRY was awarded the "International Excellence in Masonry Award" (the first and only International Excellence Award for Restoration/Seismic Rehabilitation in the state of Oregon).

Frank Manor House, Lewis & Clark College (Portland, OR) -- An ongoing restoration of an historically significant residence which has included manufacture of matching period brick and clay wall caps, matching mortar with specialty sands, replacing face shells of deteriorated brick, rebuilding chimneys and grape arbor piers and restorative cleaning and sealing.
