"This was an A+ professional service. They painted all of my walls in my condo which included multiple sites of wall repair, plastering and painting of walls that had not been maintained for over 30 years. They were always on time and worked very hard the entire day as arranged. I can't say enough about their expert work, on time schedule and especially quality of work. I can't imagine getting anyone better. They were dependable and they proved to be very expert at their work. I would hire them again anytime."

"From beginning to end, Wilber and his team were excellent! When we called for the first time, Wilber himself answered and he came to our home to give us a quote a day or two later. Wilber is professional, conscientious and cares about doing things the right way. He was also flexible when we made changes a few times. His team was professional, courteous, and they were always right on time. Each day Wilber would let us know the plan for the next day and the time they would arrive. Communication was excellent. If we had any areas that we wanted to be touched up a little more, or any changes, Wilber accommodated us. He even offered to return if needed if we scuffed the walls during our move out (we are selling our home). They made our home look new again, maybe even better than new! I would recommend Wilber S Painting 100%."

"I can’t say enough good things about the work Bobby performed a true professional. He did an excellent job with repairing 2 of my townhouse bathroom showers. He replaced the hardware and also took the time to build access panels to prevent future issues. Repaired painted the damaged drywall everything looks like new. The price was very fair and he was always on time at the job site and always cleaned up. You can tell he is a professional with more than 37 years experience look forward to working with then in the future. First class service"

"I hired JW Home Improvement to remove wood filler and a microwave above my electric stove, and replace it with a pre-made cabinet and new range hood. Denis, the JW Technician who was sent to my home to conduct the work, was very professional, knowledgeable and detail oriented. Due to an unknown pre-existing issue that necessitated cutting into the dry wall in the bulk-head (above my stove), the job ended up taking approximately 3 hours longer than what was originally projected. That being said, Denis devised a successful solution to deal with the unexpected snag, repaired the drywall and expertly painted the entire wall. I am issuing a rating of five out of five stars for his performance."

"Fantastic experience with a responsive, highly skilled, professional team of carpenters, handymen, painters, counter and flooring specialists. We initially contacted LFC to redesign a half wall/counter in a basement kitchenette area so we could remove and replace an old refrigerator. Tony listened, assessed the situation and came up with a very creative and cost effective solution for our problem: They cut back the half wall and kept the existing counter by carefully cutting it and installing a hinge so it could swing up and down. To save on flooring costs, they used extra carpet and tile that we had and blended it in. We were so pleased that we had him come back out to look at the recurring rotten wood problem around our front door entryway and our garage door. Tony suggested cost effective, non-wood materials, a custom design by his carpenter to preclude further water erosion, and a fresh coat of paint. The carpentry detail and overall finish are exceptional."

"Horizon Landscaping Designs did a superb job of refurbishing the retaining wall on our property. It required a significant effort as it was over 20 years old and beginning to collapse. The work was completed in only two days and the crew worked nonstop to get it done. The work was flawless and the wall is in top condition now. The cost was reasonable and well worth the quality of the work. We highly recommend Horizon!"

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

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.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

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.
