"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."

"Daniel from Silver Hammer Construction did an excellent job. After getting a leaky window following our nasty winter weather, I felt like no one, my HOA or insurance, was being very helpful. Daniel was helpful and reassuring and did excellent and prompt work identifying the problem. It shocked me to be able to work on it the next day. It took two days to complete the repairs, and the work was well done. My window issue has been fixed. I appreciate all the work Daniel did to explain things to me and his quality of work as well. And the service was affordable and didn't break the bank."

"Danielâ s Team did an amazing job. The original drywall repair group I hired after my basement flooded did not do quality work and you can see waves in the wall. Danielâ s Team came in and made repairs to the wall as well as placed drywall into my storage room. You can tell the difference once their work was done. You could not tell that the walls had to be repaired as it was flushed together. Would recommend Danielâ s Team to others based on their profressional and great quality of work. I will be working with them in the near future as well."

"I would highly recommend Radek! His estimate is very detailed explaining the work to be done and materials included. He was so meticulous in everything he did! He explains everything he will do in detail, making sure you understand any choices to be made without pushing you toward any particular choice or product. He was always on time and very respectful of my home and neighbors in my condo while working. Radek painted my living room and dining room, replaced baseboards, installed and painted new interior doors, installed new shelving in my entry closet and replaced wall switches and outlets. He went above and beyond searching for the best solution at the best price for a very small closet door that was not easy to find! He was happy to add on a few things that were not in his original estimate. (I.e. wall switches, closet shelves). I am so grateful to have found an honest, respectful, hard working contractor that does excellent work! I will be calling Radek again when I begin work in the other rooms of my condo!"

"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

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

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.

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.
