"Daniel from Silver Hammer Construction did an excellent job. After getting a leaky window following our nasty winter weather, I felt like no one, my HOA or insurance, was being very helpful. Daniel was helpful and reassuring and did excellent and prompt work identifying the problem. It shocked me to be able to work on it the next day. It took two days to complete the repairs, and the work was well done. My window issue has been fixed. I appreciate all the work Daniel did to explain things to me and his quality of work as well. And the service was affordable and didn't break the bank."

Customers say: Quick response

"We hired New Age to demolish and rebuild a crumbling basement wall. We were impressed with their work ethic. Oliver and Meme demolished the wall in the morning and started rebuilding that afternoon. We have a cinder block foundation, not poured concrete. They did a most professional job and we felt we got our moneyâ s worth. We would definitely recommend them. They cleaned up the job site themselves, not allowing us to help, even though we offered."

"I cannot say enough good things about Jim. I needed several projects done in conjunction with my business rebranding. Jim took care of everything including repainting the entire store, repairing my commercial doors, replacing kitchen ceiling tiles, adding FRP paneling and sealing/painting plumbing support. He was conscientious, clean and efficient. We will definitely use him for any commercial or home handyman needs going forward."

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.

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.

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 retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.

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.
