Get matched with top retaining wall installation pros in Washington, DC

"We hired XtraCare to rebuild a failing retaining wall along our driveway, repoint the masonry on another retaining wall, install a French drain behind the retaining wall that wasn’t rebuilt, and reconstruct a concrete walkway that had subsided over the years. We had requested quotes from several reputable contractors, and XtraCare submitted a very reasonable bid. While it was not the lowest one received, our initial meeting with Cleber convinced us that he had a much better sense of the myriad challenges posed by the project (e.g., difficult topography, drainage issues, potential permitting obstacles) than the other contractors did. The project manager, CJ, was always responsive and let us know what to expect at every stage of the project. The crew was unfailingly friendly and diligent and even completed some work that was outside the scope of the project (repointing some crumbling mortar on the porch adjacent to the new retaining wall they built). We are extremely pleased with the results! Even the building inspector complemented us on the excellent craftsmanship. And two weeks after they completed the job, the crew returned to clean and inspect the wall one more time. Finally, the office staff – Mari and Raquel – were exceedingly helpful and communicative, always keeping us apprised of what was happening on the project and what to expect next. We cannot recommend XtraCare highly enough. They truly went above and beyond, and we intend to use them for any future projects on our house."

"Great drawings and very professional. I’m putting this project on hold until the fall. It appears there’s other items on the foundation wall that needs to be taken care of before the landscaping company can do their job"

"While the work went well initially, the end of the job (when foreman was not present) did not go well and wall had to be fixed twice - because the first repair was sloppy and created additional damage. Work was completed a little over 3 years ago and wall is again cracking. If using this provider I recommend the homeowner be present for duration of job to ensure proper attention to detail and understand if there is an problem your correspondence may not promptly be addressed."

"Miguel and his crew were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They repaired crumbling exterior brick walls on our 1915 brick townhouse and did a great paint job. He was extremely responsive and worked with our timeline. They did an amazing job at an affordable price. I’ve worked with many contractors and they were by far the most efficient, dependable, and even left our space cleaner than it was before they started. They went above and beyond to address our concerns. Would definitely hire again in the future."

"Hyzri was prompt, professional and responsive. We had an old concrete retaining wall and stairs that were crumbling and an eyesore. He quickly demolished the old wall and rebuilt the new wall and stairs, completely transforming my rear alley entrance. I would definitely recommend Desire Masonry."

"Mason is great- we have used him for three large projects so far and the work is fantastic. We first hired Mason to finish our basement and was immediately impressed by his prompt and professional communication as well as the detailed estimate. We went back and forth on a number of items as we tried to figure out what we wanted to do and Mason was very patient with us and was very clear with any changes we asked him to make. With the exception of some changes we asked to make throughout the project, his initial estimate was very transparent and spot on to the final cost. We were so impressed by Mason and his crew (he has him own people, not subs) that we hired him again to do a complete renovation of our kitchen. This was a much bigger project that involved structural work to remove a wall and replace with a beam and he did not disappoint. We had a lot more opinions regarding how we wanted the kitchen to be done and he was again very patient with us and very clear with his communication. The crew was consistent from the last project and again did fantastic work. Finally we hired Mason a third time to build a new sunroom off the kitchen (formerly a screened in porch) and again he did a great job. We are now looking to do a bathroom remodel and we will hire Mason again in a heartbeat."

"Since at first there were a number of uncertain factors where only an "allowance" could be made, it took a while for Nick to determine how to shape his bid. (It was finally agreed to specify a price for the two bathrooms but do the kitchen on a "time and materials" basis.) Once the contract was signed, Nicoleta immediately became deeply involved both in design and in supervising the team of highly skilled workers. Not only does she have excellent taste and sense of design, but she also quickly sensed our taste and spent an enormous amount of time working with us on decisions from layout to choice of floor and wall tiles, countertops, light and plumbing fixtures, bathroom hardware and paint colors, and everything in between. She also handled most of the ordering and then dealt with vendors when any problems arose. Not only did Nicoleta have creative ideas, but GSBuilders' skilled team of electricians, carpenters and painters came up with unique solutions to challenging problems such as how to "build in" a microwave oven into a limited existing cabinet space (with appropriate venting) so as to free up counter space. When there were glitches (and I have yet to hear of a renovation project where there were no glitches), Nicoleta and the team quickly responded to ensure that everything was 100% right. Renovation is a disruptive process at best, but everyone from GSBuilders exerted great effort to minimize the disruption and to ensure that things were left as neat as possible at the end of each workday. They were totally reliable and while we were not sad to have our house back to ourselves when the project was completed, we felt very comfortable having them in our home. The project was not cheap. But we deeply appreciated the caring attention and skillful work that went into it and we feel the price was fair and that we got excellent value and made some new friends along the way."

"Mark came out and surveyed the drainage problems that we were having that were causing flooding in our yard and threatening our house. He proposed a very robust solution that provided protection for our home and provided a really nice look for naturally correcting the problem. The team who did the work were great - they worked with Mark and I to implement the best solution to remedy the flooding and provide the best appearing solution. They re-shaped the yard, brought in dirt, built retaining walls, put down sod, put down river stone, and installed drain boxes and piping to control the rain water."
