"We had a great experience, they were very polite and considerate of my toddler who was napping throughout the dayâ they kept it as quiet and clean as possible. They worked with my schedule and gave us instructions for priming the wall which they repaired. It was clear and easy to follow."

"We hired Phil and his team in February 2020 to paint the interior of our new home—I'm talking walls, ceilings, doors, trim, closets, cabinets, etc.—and handle some smaller jobs, like patching and moving outlets and pressure washing our garage floor. Everything took a little over two weeks, and we were very happy with the quality of work. Phil was super communicative throughout the process and heeded our many requests (even the really tedious ones). I checked on the house often, and his team was always nice and organized. We recommend Phil and his team and would use Northshore Painting & Home Improvement for other jobs in the future!"

"Trent has completed several projects for me around my house. The first time was helping me paint around my house after a prior contractor did not do a good job. Trent was awesome. And so I did not hesitate to ask for his help again. This time he helped me repair, and renovate my front door. As well as to clean and restore the gas lanterns outside of my home and in my courtyard. Trent is highly professional, honest, his fees are reasonable, and his work is top-notch!"

"I had a sidewalk around my home replaced. I was apprehensive about a number of things. Powerhouse managers and employees patiently walked me through the entire process. I believe the pricing was fair. Their work was excellent. I’m glad I found them on Angie. I need some driveway work in the near future and I plan to use them again"

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

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.

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.

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.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.
