"Chuy's Tuckpointing and Restoration did an excellent job repairing portions of my house. Although the job was small, Chuy and his crew paid careful attention to the job resulting in a high quality repair. The customer service was fantastic. Rocio was in constant and timely contact throughout the process. She carefully considered and answered the questions that I had. All told, I had a very positive experience working with Chuy's Tuckpointing and Restoration. I strongly recommend them to anybody who needs tuckpointing done, whether it's a big whole-house job or a small repair. I'll likely engage his services again for more work on my house."

"Terrific! We took down a wall which had crown molding and other contractors wanted to cut out the remaining molding on the 3 remaining walls and square the ceiling. Step in - Zmartin who repaired the crown where the wall used to be, prepared a mold and extended the crown another 6 feet ending with a custom edge. They also leveled the ceiling which had a 1.5 inch pitch across only 12 inches as the ceiling height of the living room and dining room did not match. They chipped the ceiling away on each side and repaired it. Today you would have no idea where the wall used to be. The work is seamless. I have several tradesmen in my family including carpenters and painters and even they commented on the great work. The crown gives the kitchen such a unique look. Plaster work creates dust which is expected and they always did a great job on the clean up too."

"JRG Remodeling did more than install interior doors. I had additional work done - repairing door trim: internal and external; repairs in kitchen area; wall, floor and trim repairs; exterior grout work. The work was completed beautifully and professionally. The remodelers were punctual, focused and pleasant. I will refer JRG Remodelers to anyone who needs customized home services where fair pricing meets with professionalism. Thank you to the TEAM!"

"This guy is an artist working with drywall, I hate to do demolition. So Jose will do repairs and after he finishes you would say thats a brand new wall. I do have pictures from the jobs he has done in my properties."

"I had Mohamed come out to fix a bifold closet door that wasn’t working properly in my home. He was punctual, professional and clearly knew what he was doing. The closet door now works perfectly and he even helped with a couple of electrical outlets that were not even on my list. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and willingness to make sure everything was working correctly before he left. He was courteous, efficient, and left the work area clean when the job is finished. It’s not always easy to find someone reliable for home repairs, but this was an excellent experience from start to finish. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy handyman."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

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. 

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.
