"Glades and her team have been cleaning my house for the last 12 years. I hired glades after I had my second child as keeping up with the house was too hard as a working mom. Best decision I ever made. I highly recommend Glades."

"I had several contractors come look at the site and give an estimate. They all seemed competent and had good ratings from Angie's list. Each had a choice of materials that could be used that more or less fit the bill, but not exactly. Douglas definitely stood apart from the others. Not only did he suggest a paving stone that was exactly what I wanted, but he suggested modifying the design of the space to make it fit in better with the setting. We ended up coming up with space with a curved corner rather than a straight corner (which is what I originally proposed, and the other contractors were going to provide). It looks great!! I was originally concerned that the parking space would detract from the appearance of the property but it actually enhances it. I have gotten nothing but positive comments from family, friends and neighbors. Douglas's talent and training in design, his commitment to doing a good job and pleasing the customer, and his enthusiasm for his work make a difference!"

"Got 4 business names from Angi's. I contracted Edwin to remove my very old, falling apart front walkway and retaining wall to install new. From the start I found him very knowledgeable about his work, really easy to approach, was comfortable talking with and so helpful with making decisions throughout the entire project. Super nice business to work with. These guys worked continuously through the job making sure it was done professionally and was what I was looking for. Like any project changes will come up. He communicated with me every step of the way while keeping within the price range that was originally given to me. "WHAT A TRANSFORMATION". They did a fantastic job. I am so happy and impressed with the outcome. I hope he uses my before and after pics so everyone can see the amazing constructing he and his crew can do. All my neighbors' heads are turning and one already has him under contract. I'm keeping his sign up to let others know who did the work. Hands down I will recommend him to all who are looking for the many jobs this guy can do."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

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.

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. 

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.
