"I recommend James Hosmer & his crew at Halo Construction for installing ceramic tile flooring without any reservations. Here is a summary of my experience with Halo Construction: After asking around and finding no one who had been pleased with their ceramic tile installation and interviewing a couple of tile contractors who I did not choose to hire, I consulted Angie's List to find a ceramic tile installation crew to install heavy ceramic tile in an alternating -- grey & white -- diamond pattern in the bottom level of my split level home. After reading the Angie's List reviews, I called James Hosmer of Halo Construction to come and look at my tile project and he came over promptly. My husband and I decided to hire him -- even though we had to wait a month for him to begin work -- because of James's knowledgable and artistic approach to assessing the project. He immediately focused on what we wanted with the tile and layout and -- at this initial stage -- suggested that the decorative trim pieces that I had ordered be placed about 6 inches from the wall instead of directly next to the wall -- as he said the trim would show up better with a little space between the wall and the rest of the tile. And I thought about this for a second and a light went off in my head and I thought -- He's right..... He's right... Why didn't I think of that? And he offered a very reasonable price for labor and I asked him for an estimate of costs for his materials and realized later he was exactly on the money there. I signed the Contract the next day and although I had a bit of trepidation about paying $$ half up front (I only knew him from Angie's List although he did offer some recommendations from people my husband and I knew or knew of) I waited the month until his agreed upon start date and he started right on time and he and his crew were very professional in all aspects of carrying out their job. I communicated with him on the second day about one change my husband & I decided we wanted in the spacing of the tiles and although it cost him some time to redo a section -- he did not complain -- just kept his unerring focus on doing a good job and he ended up doing a great job that my husband and I plan to enjoy for years and years and years. I can't convey how very, very pleased I am with the result of the ceramic tile installation by Halo Construction -- because then I would have to bore you with my three years of selecting tile and samples cracking, advice from architects in the family, and my hesitation to finally commit to doing this first (large, for us) renovation in the home my husband & I bought 17 years ago. It can be a scary process for someone who has heard stories of bad work , etc., so having an outcome with perfect, artistically laid tile has exceeded my expectations. The work is beautiful and James is free to show you photos or to make an appointment to actually see the floor. Because of the pride James & crew take in their work and their dedication to customer satisfaction, I recommend Halo without reservation for any tile project -- big, medium, or small -- this crew knows what they are doing and they get it done right. I had the pleasure of meeting James's adorably cute and plucky three year old and think that when anyone asks her what her dad does, she should reply that he makes other people's houses beautiful! Hire this team and you will not be sorry....

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.
