"Absolutely super!!! Gary was prompt, pleasant, quiet, quick and does BEAUTIFUL work! The wall patching was zip-zip-zip and looks great. The vanity was caulked perfectly and looks great. He had to do some corrective work on the door jamb we were having trimmed and did not add on for that; and the painting was beautiful. We did not have all the materials on hand for the originally-quoted work and Gary deducted an appropriate amount from the bill. YES, we will hire them again, and will specifically ask for Gary."

"I had exterior lights installed, drywall ceiling repair, shower tile repair and the tv mounted on wall. Kevin is prompt, friendly and most importantly very skilled with any of the work he and his crew do. They also clean up the work area so that you don’t even know they were there. Everything is perfect, I can’t say enough about how satisfied I am with the results. The thing that impresses me most is I had 4 very different jobs, and each one was completed like it was his area of expertise. They are very competitively priced on top of it all. I highly recommend The Handy Veteran- you won’t be disappointed"

"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."

"We had an excellent experience with ZMartin when we needed our plaster walls and ceilings to be repaired after a disastrous leak. I've had experiences with several different plasterers at this point because our house always seems to need work and we often need to go with whoever is immediately available, and I think ZMartin was the best experience in terms of quality of work and professionalism. The work was done right the first time around, they cleaned up after themselves, and they came immediately to do touch-ups when a small bubble formed a few weeks after the plaster dried (which happens sometimes). The only downside is that I've found their prices are on the higher side, but at the same time you get what you pay for. Others have done somewhat sloppy work, failed to clean up, and were often nonresponsive when touch-ups or fixes needed to be done. Just this past month, I've gotten in a bind when another plaster guy put our outlet in the wrong spot, which is creating problems for the carpentry work, and now they're not responding to my frantic message about fixing it. I was really pleased with the excellence of ZMartin's work and their responsiveness regarding any problems or expressed preferences. Brian also recommended to me a terrific painter to boot!"

Wall Repair FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

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.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.
