"Work included the painting of walls and trim in several rooms. They also completed extensive drywall repairs on an earlier project prior to painting. Tim Coco and his crew, Chris and Cody are reliable, trustworthy and take pride in their work. Project cost is reasonable, and the quality of work is exceptional. I would recommend them to anyone requiring these services."

"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!"

"The job was so-so. They were very polite but I do feel the language barrier didn’t help. The flooring was not installed correctly. The tiles should have been staggered but they were laid side by side. The repair in the bathroom wall was horrible. I had a recessed paper holder and wanted it removed and the wall patched. At first the patch of wood (the wall is old time paneling that I like the look of) was put in against the grain… really?? I asked them to change it and the results were worse. I have since found a paper holder that covers the botched up mess. I can’t honestly recommend them for jobs on older homes."

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.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

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.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

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.
