"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."

"Nick did a very thorough job repairing the walls of our powder room. Before the walls had old wall paper we couldn't get off and were dented and uneven. Afterwards the old wallpaper is gone and the walls are perfectly smooth and painted blue. He was punctual, honest and very thorough in his work. Would very highly recommend!"

"Derek did a fabulous job. I was so impressed with the clean lines by ceiling/wall and baseboards. I did not see any paint spray on floor/woodwork. He patched holes on wall and I cant even tell where he patched. He was very pleasant to work with. I will hire him again for my next project ."

"We were very satisfied with our service from Rob and Fire It Up at the end of September. After buying our first house, we wanted to make sure everything in the chimney was safe and working efficiently. Rob's inspection and estimate were very thorough and detailed. He clearly knows his stuff and didn't pressure us to schedule repairs right away. Mario and team did a full crown coat, put in two liners, and poured insulation. They also replaced duct from the furnace that wasn't venting outside fully. Everyone seemed very knowledgeable. The manager, Toni, stopped by so we could settle up, and she's a sweetheart. Great customer service all around."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

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.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

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.
