"When fixing the large hole in my wall, Bob found some behind the wall problems. He took care of everything, no change in the pricing (which was excellent). He also made sure the previous person's work was secure. Very professional. Called when he was on his way over to my house and showed up when he said he would. Excellent work. I would hire him again!"

"It went great!. Joe gave us a good estimate. The work was done in a timely fashion as well as clean up.

"Jose did an excellent job on repairing a hole left by a plumber underneath a bathroom sink. He took great care, time, and effort to make sure that it was done correctly and now it looks as good as new! I also had him fix some water damage to a wall caused by a leak in the ceiling. His work was excellent and so was his price! He's very reasonable and easy to work with."

"George was amazingly friendly and extremely accommodatin of my schedule! He was hired by my property management company for the house I rent, so I would have had very little say in appointment times had he not been so communicative with me. I needed some gaps between the walls and fixtures in my bathroom and room caulked to stop ants from coming in, and he went above and beyond with the job to ensure every nook and cranny was taken care of. Thank you so much George!"

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.  

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.

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.

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.
