"I was referred to WCD Masonry by a company whom I initially called for an estimate on our block wall that was leaning. The company happened to serve only areas in Orange County. Since I live in Los Angeles County , they referred me to WCD Masonry. William was professional and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to work with him. He takes time to explain the details on what needs to be done to make the repair strong and lasting. His craftsmanship was beautiful and finished on time. I am happy that our block wall looks great again! Thank you, William!"

"A crack had opened halfway up my vaulted living room ceiling, and I called to see if this was something that Caliber Drywall could repair. Ken contacted me shortly after my request and came out to inspect the ceiling. He described what would need to be done to repair the cracked area and how it would be completed, including painting. He gave me a quote for the job which included everything I needed done. The quote was lower than another I’d received through Angie’s which did not even include the painting on this very high ceiling area. I was very satisfied with the quotation and we scheduled the work to begin in two days. Ken And his assistant, Jason restored the ceiling, matching the old paint and it is virtually impossible to see where the repairs were done. They were punctual and very careful to be sure that there was no debris or damage to my living room and left the premises immaculate. I would highly recommend Ken and Caliber Drywall. I’m also glad that I did not follow up on quotations that were given to me over the phone by contractors who could not be bothered to come out to actually see the work that needed to be done. Ken and Caliber drywall set a very high standard for workmanship and I will definitely use them again if a situation arises requiring their skills."

"First off, I was very proud to support an army veteran in choosing Felipe out of 3 bids to do a somewhat complex remodel of my master bathroom. He shows up when he says he will show up, and if he is late, he lets you know (rare in this business!). He only commits to one large project at a time, and what this means is that he would show up at 8am each day, and work through the whole day, I never felt we had a wasted day in this project. He was also extremely respectful of our home and schedule. He insisted his guys lay drop clothes throughout the house to avoid getting dirt and dust everywhere, and he even rolled up the cloths at the end of each day. If a day ran late, he was only to happy to stay late and finish the work, but only after asking us permission - he was very concerned to disrupt our evening family time. This level of respect for his customer is something that he insists on with his crew, and we found every one of them to be polite, hardworking, reliable and respectful. Felipe is also very focused on making sure we were happy, and I wasn't an easy customer for this. If I noticed I didn't like the way something was done, he would explain his reasoning, but if that wasn't good enough for what I needed, he always obliged to make the change so I would be happy. The project involved a full demo of a master bathroom, and also removing a wall to extend the bathroom into a patio space, to create a 100 sq. foot bathroom. This required lots of concrete demo, re-leveling the patio floor, building a new tub frame, installing a large tub, building a shower pan, plumbing and drain rerouting, new flooring, installing shiplap on several walls, electrical, installing large windows and a skylight, converting to a 2-sink vanity, shower glass enclosure and lots of marble tiling work. In this much complexity, we did have lots of bumps along the way, but with his good heart, we got through them, and at the end, we are super happy with our new bathroom. Felipe has skills in framing, tile work, plumbing, carpentry and drywall. Unique in his drywall approach, he creates very little dust by getting to an almost smooth finish that requires less sanding work. In plumbing he wasn't always familiar with the newer plumbing fittings that we got, but unlike others he would say "let's look at the instructions". His tiling work was good, and he worked with marble, porcelain and ceramic on this project - I will say this was the most tedious part of the project to get right! He worked very hard, and I would say an extra 5 days than planned to accommodate our needs, and never charged us extra. For all the extra work he did when issues came up such as floor leveling, plumbing runs, he never complained, and honored the original contract we signed. Overall I recommend Felipe as an amazing guy to hire to do any kind of home repair. With Felipe, you could just trust him and leave him to do your full project without worry. If you have exacting requirements (as I did), then my advice is to clearly write out what you need, so things don't get forgotten or confused along the way, and Felipe is only too happy to have you check his work and adjust/accommodate as you go along."

"Update; What began with a door repair back in June ended with me having Ozzie resurface the kitchen walls to smooth them out, paint them, replace the casings around the windows and doors, and also install a new kitchen sink. He then moved onto the den, where he smoothed out the walls and added texture to them, which he then painted. I decided to replace the existing tile and ran into an issue, but Ozzie was able to find the proper solution and complete the porcelain tile install. I am very satisfied with all the work he has done and would highly recommend him. This was for services completed back on 06/07/2022. He was the first person to reach out to me regarding fixing a pocket door in the kitchen. He was on time, friendly and professional. He was quick to determine what the problem was and made the necessary repairs. He is knowledgeable and has a lot of experience with doing other repairs as well. I would definitely recommend him and have already scheduled additional work in the kitchen and our den."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

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.

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.

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.

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like.
