"Eddie patched two areas in the ceiling. You cannot tell. He identified additional areas that needed to be repaired (and stayed with the original estimate), carefully inserted the patches, applied multiple layers of joint compound and a layer of tape, patiently allowing the joint compound to dry between each layer, sanded and applied prime paint over the area. He was neat and cleaned up during and after the project was finished. He was honest in his appraisal and sincere in his desire that I be satisfied with the job. Highly recommend him."

"Repairs some plaster walls previously damaged by a storm. He was prompt, worked efficiently to repair, sand and repaint the walls then cleaned up afterwards. I have worked in home renovations and therefore have an appreciation of good workmanship...he did excellent work and he was very fair in his pricing. I won't hesitate to use him again."

"Overall good. The one area I wish were different is that pencil marks were placed on the wall to mark positions which I understand however they were erased and it left dirty eraser marks on the white wall which is very noticeable."

"H.M. Staggers and his crew are knowledgeable, honest, skilled craftsmen. I had loose, popping bricks that could not be replaced and needed tuckpointing around the house. Henry's evaluation and estimate was spot on and was more than reasonable. Henry said to stand back and let him work his magic I was really impressed. You cannot tell its the same wall, where did the damage go, its gone. I sincerely recommend H.M. STAGGERS, you'll be impressed too"

"After taking a number of bids, I decided to go with Yolis C Painting. All positive reviews are well merited. We had him do some interior painting and the walls look like new. Outside trim: Admittingly, some of the old paint was chipping, but what we did not anticipate was that much of the wood had begun showing signs of rot (we own the house for 40 years). He repaired and painted it. If looking for fair pricing, professionalism, and detail orientated, they are the ones for you!"

"Francisco and his team did a fabulous job on our drywall repair. He went above and beyond to repair the hole and prepare the wall for future painting. He is skilled and knowledgeable. We are hiring him to do additional flooring and painting work in our new home."

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.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.

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. 

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.
