"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."

"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!!"

"I could not be happier with the final product! The first pic is the old bathroom from the 60s when the house was built. The rest are the final rebuild and it looks great. I would highly recommend VMK Remodeling for any project that you might have. I am also going to get a bid on redoing the deck on the back of the house as Vince's company does decks as well! Thanks to his great crew as well, great people to work with."

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.

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.

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.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

Yes, including patterns, finishes, and plant integration for aesthetic enhancement.
