"Excellent job. He completed four projects: secured a fridge for earthquake safety, mounted flatscreen to wall, shortened legs to a stool to be a chair and put in a safety grab-bar in restroom. He was pleasant to work with, follows good home care by wearing shoe coverings upon entering residence. Reasonable and economical fees for services. We’ll be calling on Art for all our handyman needs!"

"Ryan Scott approached my problem with common sense and methodically set about to repair a non-functional kitchen exhaust fan. He quickly located the problem as the motor's starting capacitor through testing the resistance of the capacitor. He located a replacement. Then fixed another problem with the fan cage rattling against the sheet metal housing. I think he did a great job at a modest price. That's why I have his performance 5 stars. I would definitely hire him in the future for other repairs and recommend him to others."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

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.

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

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.
