"During the crazy winter, we had a water pipe burst in our old house, circa 1850. Once the pipes were repaired and water-damaged walls and ceilings were removed, John took care of all the plastering repairs. He was so prompt with his replies, easy to schedule, showed up when he said he would, and did such excellent work. Not only that, he was a pleasure to have around -- so friendly and kind!"

"I hired Bob to do repairs and renovation of a condo rental unit. He renovated the bathroom with new tiles, replacing bathroom rotten wood frame window with a vinyl frame, installing new light fixtures and repairing bathroom plumbing, repairing torn screens, as well as repainting interior walls and trim throughout the unit and installing new shades throughout. He also plastered water-damaged ceilings and cleaned and organized the basement storage area. On the exterior he replaced a rotted window frame and missing clapboards, then patched and painted the wall. Bob arrived early each day and worked diligently. Bob is a great problem solver and works with you to suggest ways to do repairs for the best outcome while keeping costs down. His work is high quality. I would definitely hire him again."

"From the time I requested a quote to when the job was initiated was very quick. Erick’s team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail. The plaster repairs needed weren’t minor, but the end results left my walls looking brand new. They also kept the workspace clean and were respectful of my home throughout the process."

Customers say: True professional

"We hired Hilario's Construction to build a retaining wall. The retaining wall is holding up the driveway so it was very important that a strong wall was built. Tomas and his crew demolished the old wall, removed the debris from the property, and constructed a new retaining wall. The work they performed was outstanding. The wall is strong and very attractive. They took the time to color match the stones with the side wall and installed drains to prevent water from building up behind the wall. What was originally a wall of cement and an eye sore became a beautiful stone wall that now adds character to my backyard. After the wall was completed, Tomas and his crew cleaned up the entire area, no small pebbles, cement, or debris of any kind was left behind. They even filled in cracking in another area of my yard. I highly recommend Tomas and his crew to anyone seeking an honest, experienced company specializing in masonry work. We would hire them again in a heartbeat!"

"I had removed the tile backsplash which left the wall damaged, and selected a contractor, but I received multiple calls from other contractors but not the one I selected. The site gives you the impression you can select a specific company, but you get everyone except the one selected. I find their site to be misleading. I finally chose Master Plastering Services Inc. (Marcio Morais Jr). The manager came by to quote the job and told me they would install sheetrock and plaster. So, I removed all the decorative molding under the cabinets and pushed out all the electrical boxes to allow for the sheetrock. When the plasters arrived, they told me they would not be installing sheetrock. This was upsetting, to say the least, because the sheetrock would have filled in the area where I removed the decorative molding which could not be reinstalled. Then above the sink, they started to peel off the wallpaper which was not part of the quote. If that was not enough before they left, they pointed out that they did not have a trowel to fit between the wall and electrical box so I would need to fix that myself or have the painter repair it. Again, not happy. Lastly, after the snow melted I found a clump of plaster dumped on my lawn. I would not recommend this company."

"Ben came out to my home within 24 hrs of my phone call to look at my retaining wall that I thought might need pointing. Ben was very straightforward and honest with his findings. I was very impressed with his professionalism and honesty and if I ever need any masonry work I would hire them. Thank you!"

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.
