"The "project" which prompted my inquiry is all inside remodel type work in several areas of my daughter's home; I do not live in the same residence. The work will take a long time due to taking out floor coverings and taking down wall paper to prep for some new flooring and painting. And there are several other small things which need to be addressed. Doug called and we spoke at length; he has the ability to do each of the areas needing updating but he works alone and this is going to be a lengthy project due to many areas to cover. We decided in our conversation this project needed someone to "run the project" and hire out many different work people over many weeks. I told Doug I would definitely recommend his service to anyone looking at a smaller in time requirement project given the opportunity to do so. I appreciated his contacting me promptly and hope to provide his name to anyone else where and when possible. No doubt he will do a stellar job!!!! Thank you for the opportunity to submit my review. Sincerely, Barbara"

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

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. 

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.

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.
