"We had two ceiling issues: part of kitchen ceiling was coming loose and part of living room ceiling had effects of water damage from when a tree went through our roof. The kitchen ceiling is smooth and the living room has a pattern. Mr. Hensel treated our home as if it were his own. He covered all of the floor so well and then put up plastic to cover the walls. He finished both projects in 2 days - 9-10 hours of work. Extremely talented plaster artist! We are SO pleased and it cost so much less than I expected; such a relief! And, by the way, he is very pleasant!"

Small jobs welcome

"They did a great job. They located and repaired leaks caused by another contractor who installed Rain Escape under our deck. The deck covers a large patio. Phillip did the job professionally, worked safely, and cleaned up the work site afterwards. They showed up on the appointed time to bid the job, started the job when they said they would, and we’re reasonably priced. We are hiring them for additional work and would recommend them to others."

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.

They prevent soil erosion, add flat space, and enhance property aesthetics.

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.

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.
