"This was a surprising painless experience after years of dread. Richard came out quickly and gave us a reasonable bid. The price quoted was at the top of the range, but he demonstrated why during his tour of our apartment. He had a much better command of what would be required and how best to do it. Sure enough, the work was done very quickly, exactly on schedule, and with excellent attention to detail and quality. This was far from the terrible experiences we've witnessed when handymen and other non-specialists did the same kind of job for friends. First of all -- our expectation of dust everywhere was just wrong. They use moisture to remove the popcorn so there's no dust at all. Zero. The place was completely clean when they finished. Exactly as promised, it took the specialized crew just one day to move furniture, seal off all surfaces with dust/muck proof plastic coverings, scrape the ceilings and refinish with our chosen sheetrock mud finish coat. Then it had to dry for two days (turned out to be just one in our case due to hot/dry weather). The following day the second crew came in, moved the furniture again, covered walls and floor, and painted the ceiling beautifully. We were able to move back into the condo that night. Technically you can stay in your place while it dries, but it was much nicer staying in a friends place since we had that available. Perfect quality work and a month later we're still staring at how great our ceilings look. I spent many years in high end real estate restoration, so have seen the good and bad. I really can't recommend these guys highly enough."

He didn't have to, but he did it out of the generosity of his heart. I would highly recommend Marco and will hire him every time I need a repair!"

"We had just recently bought a home built in the 70’s that had acoustic popcorn on the ceilings and heavy orange peel on the walls throughout the house. Alex and his crew did an amazing job transforming the house into an entirely new space. The plaster work they did on the walls and ceilings has elevated the vibe of the entire place. Alex was a great pleasure to work with throughout the project. He is a man of skill, hard work and integrity. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you Alex!"

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

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.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

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.

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.
