"I am very, very impressed with Eddie s work. The walls in my basement were bumpy, and it was clear that the mud on the drywalls was evenly layered. I contacted Eddie based on the extensive number of positive reviews that he has. Eddie came in and saved the day! By the time he finished, my office walls were as smooth as all other walls in my home. I was even more impressed with Eddie because he fixed other things in my office without charge. Very personal guy and it is evident that he cares about the quality of work that he provides. If you need someone to skim coat the walls in your house, Eddie is your guy!"

"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 ."

"Hired to replace 2 window screens on the second story of our home. Val found another one that needed replacing, and he did that one too, for no additional charge. He also fixed our kitchen light so that it stopped blinking when we first turned it on. Friendly, courteous, punctual and professional. Will be hiring again."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.  

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.

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.

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.
