Terms and Conditions

Effective January 1, 2026

Allied Bellingham Concrete and Masonry, bellinghamconcreteandmasonry.com, sales@bellinghamconcreteandmasonry.com

Agreeing to these terms

These terms apply when you use this website or ask Allied Bellingham Concrete and Masonry for an estimate or for work. By browsing our home page and other pages, sending us a request or hiring our crew, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

A written estimate, proposal or contract signed for your job takes priority over these terms wherever the two differ, because it covers the details of your house and your project.

Our services

We're a masonry contractor in Bellingham, WA, and we also do concrete work. We handle repair and new construction, including foundations, chimneys, brick, stone, block walls, retaining walls, pavers, walkways and outdoor kitchens. We work in Bellingham and the cities around it.

The service descriptions on this site explain the work in general terms. They aren't a promise that a particular method, material or result fits your house. We decide that once we've seen the job in person. You can read more about how we work on our About page.

Estimates and pricing

We give free in-person estimates with no obligation to hire us. Your estimate is based on what we can see and measure at the visit, so the scope, materials, access and condition of the existing masonry all shape the number.

Masonry often hides problems until it's opened up, such as loose brick behind sound-looking mortar or a weak base under old concrete. If we find conditions the estimate didn't cover, we'll stop, show you what we found and agree on any change in price or scope with you before we do that extra work.

Estimates are good for the period written on them. After that, material costs and our schedule may have changed, so we may need to update the price.

Scheduling, weather and cancellation

We'll give you a start date when you approve the work, and we'll keep you posted if it moves. Concrete and mortar need the right temperature and dry conditions to cure properly, so rain, freezing weather, material delays or a permit wait can push the schedule back. We won't pour or lay in conditions that would weaken the work.

If you need to reschedule or cancel, call us at (360) 255-7006 as early as you can. If you cancel after we've ordered special materials or started work, you may be responsible for those materials and the work already done, as set out in your written agreement.

Payment

Your written estimate or contract sets the payment amounts and when each one is due. Larger jobs may call for a deposit or progress payments as the work moves along.

Payment is due on the terms you agreed to. If a balance goes unpaid, we may pause work and use the remedies Washington law allows a contractor, which can include a lien on the property for work and materials we supplied.

Your part of the job

We ask you to give our crew safe access to the work area, tell us about anything we can't see, such as buried lines, drainage issues or past repairs, and confirm property lines when the work is near them. Please keep kids and pets clear of the work area while we're there and while new concrete or mortar sets.

If you supply your own materials, we aren't responsible for their quality or for problems they cause.

Our guarantee and what it doesn't cover

Allied Bellingham Concrete and Masonry is licensed and insured, and our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If something about our workmanship isn't right, tell us and we'll come back and look at it. Any written warranty for your job is in your contract, and that document controls what's covered and for how long.

Concrete and masonry are natural materials. Hairline cracks, small color differences between new and old brick or mortar, and changes in stone over time are normal and aren't defects. Our guarantee doesn't cover damage from settling soil, drainage problems we didn't fix, freeze and thaw, tree roots, misuse, heavy vehicles on surfaces not built for them, or work done by others after us.

Except as written in your contract or required by law, we make no other warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

Limits on our liability

To the extent Washington law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, such as lost use of your property, lost income or similar costs. Our total liability for any claim about a job is limited to the amount you paid us for that job.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow us to limit.

Using this website

The information on this site is general and is meant to help you understand masonry work. It isn't engineering, legal or building-code advice for your property. Rules and permit requirements vary by city, so check with your local permit office before you rely on anything here.

We try to keep the site accurate and working, but we don't promise it will always be available or free of errors. The text, photos and design belong to us, so please don't copy them for commercial use without our permission.

Resolving a disagreement

If something goes wrong, call us first. Most problems get settled faster when we look at the work together and talk it through.

If we can't settle it that way, either of us may take the matter to a court with jurisdiction in Whatcom County, Washington, unless your written contract sets a different process.

Governing law

These terms and any work we do for you are governed by the laws of the State of Washington.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time and will post the new version on this page. Changes apply to estimates and work agreed to after they're posted, not to a job you've already signed for.

Questions about these terms

If you have a question about these terms or about your job, call us at (360) 255-7006 or reach us through our Contact page. Expect a reply within 1 business day.
