We had them do a partial basement remodel, repair of a huge crack in our foundation, remodel of our kitchen and four bathrooms, and painting and incidental repairs. They are very talented, can do pretty much anything, and their integrity is beyond anything I get from anyone else. Highly recommend!!"

"What I like about working with James was he stayed in constant contact with me through the whole project. He repaired a hole left in my bathroom ceiling by the AC installer. Fixed a leaky pipe pipe under the upstairs toilet via the downstairs ceiling. Redid my Powder Room ceiling by installing a new ceiling. I like this guy he was very responsible cleaned up after himself and was very effective cost wise. I'll use him again. Thanks James."

"My experience with LFC Services and Home Repair was a great and satisfying. Mr. Tony Heard and his crew was hired to complete multiple upgrades, and task to our newly built home. They were prompt, courteous, clean and very efficient. Once their team got started it was completed to our expectations. We were very excited to see our visions of upgrades come to fruition. I would definitely use LFC Services and Home Repair again and highly recommend them."

"I had a leaking water supply pipe in my home repaired, and now I needed to have it enclosed again as the original (wooden) box was removed during repair. I also needed the padding under the section of the carpet which had water damage replaced. I contacted Mr. Ramirez, and 40 minutes after the call he arrived at my home to give me a free estimate. We scheduled the work for the next week. His crew arrived on time and worked for three hours at a cost of $320. Their workmanship was exemplary, and I was very pleased with the result! I highly recommend Chapin Handyman for their professionalism and fair pricing. I had not used them before, and will now definately use them for any home improvement projects I may have in the future."

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.

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.

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.
