"Couldn't be happier with Matt and his team. Extremely courteous, responsive and efficient, they went the extra mile when I contacted them for a couple of drywall repairs. Once in my unit, they identified a couple of extra areas that needed attention and insisted on cleaning those up too - at no extra charge. The work itself was done very conscientiously, with great care, craftsmanship, and consideration for keeping my home and furnishings clean and protected. Matt is a great resource - extremely experienced and straightforward. I was particularly impressed that - even though he brought one of his team to do the work at my particular job - Matt himself came out to do the initial assessment, and came back the morning the work was to be done to personally walk his worker through the job. I really appreciate this personal, hands-on approach. Great experience! Will hire again, and definitely recommend."

"Sergio is very responsive, reliable, fair and trustworthy. We used him for both a very large project (~8000 SF of new drywall) as well as a number of small projects following the major one (e.g. garage drywall patching, etc.) Sergio's crew was high quality, professional, fast, and reliable. Sergio was always easy to reach, and an overall friendly person. Would highly recommend him and his crew to anyone looking for drywall work!"

"Enrique and his team tackled a number of small to medium size projects from painting to door frame repair to drywall removal and replacement. The team was on time each day and ensured that the days task list was completed before leaving for the day. They ensured the work areas were organized and cleaned after each day. They were professional, easy to work with and their pricing was competitive. Would highly recommend them for any general construction or handyman projects you have."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

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.

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

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.
