"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

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.

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.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.
