"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."

"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 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."

"I highly recommend TK Residential Solutions! He did a great job fixing my sink drain. He was friendly, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable about his work. He took the time to explain the issue, answered my questions, and completed the repair faster than I expected. My sink is working perfectly now, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again for future projects. Thank you for the great service!"

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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. 

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. 

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.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

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.
