"Highly recommend Yolis Cleaning and Painting Services! We had them paint the walls and ceiling of two rooms. Excellent quality work, and they are very conscientious. Communication was very good, showed up on time and cleaned up really well after each day. We plan to use again for other jobs in our home."

Customers say: Quick response

"We hired New Age to demolish and rebuild a crumbling basement wall. We were impressed with their work ethic. Oliver and Meme demolished the wall in the morning and started rebuilding that afternoon. We have a cinder block foundation, not poured concrete. They did a most professional job and we felt we got our moneyâ s worth. We would definitely recommend them. They cleaned up the job site themselves, not allowing us to help, even though we offered."

"Daniel and his team did an excellent job painting the entire interior of the home from the ceilings, walls, baseboards, trim and doors to the closets and the garage. Daniel was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave great advice on colors and gloss. They were very quick and efficient, finishing the home in 7 days and that is with multiple coats of paint. The walls and closets had lots of damage and holes but Daniel and his team did a superb job patching them all up. Their painting was very clean too as the edges and wood trim did not have any paint drip. Daniel even helped me by installing a closet door, replacement of bad deck planks and fixing a missing baseboard! He provided receipts for all paint purchases and his price was very fair. Highly recommended!"

"I have a 90+ year old Chicago bungalow. Brian came out me out promptly for estimate. After speaking with Brian I could tell he knew about doing plaster work for an older house. No mud and tape job here. His worker (Sam) are great to work with. Had extensive work to all my ceilings and walls on 1st floor of house. Fixed all cracks in walls, all 22 of them !! Also fixed an arch way which was cracked all the way down to metal framing. Then had them paint the walls and ceilings. Can highly recommend them for any work. The job turned out fantastic. Could not be any happier."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.
