"this is the 4th project that I have used Foundation Recovery Systems for to repair my basement walls and the work is always spot on. On this project it was more wall anchors and Devon Brown and his crew did excellent work and were very informative about the work they were doing. They drove on very icy roads for three to four hours to get to my home."

"Chad painted our 30 year-old+ Morton building and it looks fabulous. The paint had faded and the building was looking pretty tired. Chad power-washed and then repainted using paint that will last for many years. I really appreciated the quality work. The lines between the two colors we chose were tight. Additionally, Chad overcommunicated to ensure we had current status without question--especially given this was such a large job. For example, it was raining one of the days he was scheduled to paint. He called anyway to make sure we knew he would not be there and provide an update on status. Awesome customer focus and experience! Excellent results! Highly recommend!"

"Sean was amazing from beginning to end, and I could select several different "project" titles for this review, because he did a variety of jobs: 1. Our wooden cellar door and the wooden stairs underneath (that go from the backyard to the basement) were rotted. He built new stairs and installed a metal cellar door I bought. 2. He replaced the exterior door on the garage. The old one was 32 inches. He easily cut into the wall and installed a new 36 inch door in very little time. While he was in the garage, he realized the garage door was not working, and he repaired that too... this was not something we talked about. He just did it! 3. He removed old wooden railings on the front porch and installed new vinyl ones onto our brick columns. We only had one vinyl hand rail for the front steps. He got a second hand rail and matching railings, installed the second hand rail, and adjusted the original one so it would match. 4. Lots of great pain work! We have four wooden columns on the front porch. He scraped the old paint, sealed the wooden bases, which were separating at the corner, and repainted them, as well as the wood trim above the porch. 5. The lattice work around the base of the front porch was falling apart. Not only did he repair it, but also he painted the gray brick behind it black so the white lattice would look better from the street. 6++. There were a few other small things along the way I asked him to do while he was here. Nothing major. Things that I didn't have the tools for and only took him 5-10 minutes, but he was happy to do each of them to help me out. In total, he worked for three days straight on projects around my house, and charged me a very reasonable price compared to a quote I received from another handyman company. After the job was finished, we walked through my house and talked about some possible remodeling jobs he could do for us in the future. We will definitely call him the next time we need any work done on our home!!"

Wall Repair questions, 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.

Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension. By inserting rebar into the concrete during the installation, you can help extend its lifespan and avoid hazardous situations where the foundation of your home gives way to tensile forces.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

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.  

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.
