"Dave did a fantastic job with fixing up our downstairs - removing popcorn ceiling, redoing with the orange peel and repainting. He also replaced our very old paneling with some new of our choosing. We purchased, he picked it up for us and delivered. Also volunteered to return an extra piece since I had ordered too much. 3 new doors - stained and installed. We love it. Dave is prompt, delivers what is promised on time. Very happy with his work. Definitely recommend Dave for his services."

"Our laminate tiles were separating and the transitions, between the front room hardwood floor and kitchen, and between the hall and the bedroom were not staying in place. The laminate flooring was laid 2 years ago by someone else. I wish I'd known Dylan then."

"Cody was professional and efficient. He had great skill in the water damaged kitchen ceiling that had occurred due to a neighbor's ice maker leaking through to my ceiling from upstairs. The work looks beautiful!! He has a great technique for repairing this kind of damage and it's faster and less invasive than some assessments that I received. Beautiful!!"

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension. By inserting rebar into the concrete during the installation, you can help extend its lifespan and avoid hazardous situations where the foundation of your home gives way to tensile forces.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

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. 

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.

Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.
