"We had two plaster (not plasterboard) ceiling patches that needed repair and a plasterboard repair in a bathroom that required removing a toilet and the vanity. The work on all of the plastering repairs was fantastic. They also repainted the bathroom and remounted all of the bathroom fixtures so we didn't have to remove things for painting later. They started the work a week after we requested it and finished in two days. We plan to use them again when we need to minor plaster repair done to our walls."

"Rick and his team were amazing. My bathroom walls were beautifully transformed in less than a day at a reasonable price. The team was professional, efficient, responsive and cleaned up as if they were never there. We would HIGHLY recommend Rick again."

"Robert did an absolutely amazing job! I had a small drywall repair job in my living room. Robert was great to talk to about what I was looking for and how much I wanted to spend. He was not pushy at all. He responded quickly and was able to do the work within a few days of my request. His work was great too! He got the job done in less time than expected and told me everything I needed to do to finish the job, which was what I requested. I look forward to hiring Robert again in the future!"

"They are perfectionists, and the work is beautiful. Had not painted some rooms in 20 years. Spent 80% of time prepping walls and sanding to make beautiful. Tried to clean up as they went, but still dust on everything because of the extent of the work needed. Would hire back in an instant."

"I chose touchstone they have very thorough description of what was involve in the job and most interesting was making the grout waterproof. In the description, they basically said that they were going to do the whole thing of the wall and I was not prepared for that and basically that is what they did. The important all four sides and everything worked on and they did over and above what I had expected them to do."

"Luis and team were flexible and accomodating with their time given the circumstances next door (house being demolished at same time as they were out to perform their work). Ultimately we were very happy with both the repair work (fix bent spikes and latches of our wrought iron fence) and then repainting of the fence."

"Francisco and his team did a fabulous job on our drywall repair. He went above and beyond to repair the hole and prepare the wall for future painting. He is skilled and knowledgeable. We are hiring him to do additional flooring and painting work in our new home."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

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.

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.

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.
