We take great pride our experience, expertise, quality and customer service that we provide to meet the consumers' needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"This contractor is HORRIBLE. I hired them based on Angie's list recommendation and the really good reviews. BIG MISTAKE! I hired Black Rock Renovations (Javier LaRue) to build a shadow box cedar fence and it was a nightmare. One major thing Mr. LaRue did was place the posts outside the fence line, changing the entire look of the fence. He did this without consulting with me. He also cut the pickets at the bottom of the fence different lengths, he left holes where pickets should have been and did not cut the wood correctly leaving it looking very sloppy. There were several pickets that were used to build the fence that were split and damaged. When I asked him to fix the fence posts to match the shadow box design I paid for, he said that I would have to pay for it. I was already paying him over $7000 for the fence so I asked for a discount since he wasn't willing to fix his mistake on his dime. He told me he would give me 5% off the labor cost which would have been $150 but only if I leave him a 5-star review. He also left my neighborâ s side of the fence undone for over a week not saying anything to me about needing to finish it. As far as he told me the fence was complete. I had to email him several times, call, and text him and meet with him in person to show him the mistakes that needed to be fixed before I paid him for the job. He felt he did the fence correctly and often argued with me even after I showed him the major mistakes he made. He also threatened to file a mechanics lien on my property if I hired another contractor to fix his mistakes without paying him the rest of the money. Mr. LaRue's company is only two years old, and it shows. He makes promises that he doesn't keep and then denies later that he made. He speaks professionally and carries himself well, which is another reason I felt that using him was a good choice. Donâ t be fooled. Donâ t make the mistake I made. He will send someone to do a sloppy job and he will not care what you think about it. I am stuck with a fence that I paid over $7,000 for that does not look the way it is supposed to look nor is it built with the quality and standards that you would expect a fence costing over $7,000 to be."

"The Smart Home features they installed, such as thermostat and door locks, etc. do not always work. For example, the Honeywell thermostat can no longer be operated from our phones and is difficult to install. Remote door locks are also unpredictable."

Hey, I'm Lance! I became a professional online portrait artist in 2006 after my family was taken from me in a tornado losing my mother, father, brother, and son. Twenty-eight lives were taken as well as all their possessions, like mine. I drew from destroyed photos their families so they could have memorial portraits of them at the funerals and for the rest of time. Since then I have made a living traveling the country doing shows and drawing from photos you email me on line. There is NO GIFT more unique that brings more tears of joy to a loved one's eyes like one of these. Nothing. I've seen it time and time again. I make it affordable to anyone who's ever wanted one of these. Paintings with half the detail of these can cost upwards of $30,000 limiting something like this from hanging in living rooms for families to the rich only. Not anymore. Here's how it works.. Simply email me your favorite picture or pictures to [email protected] with a brief description of what you would like done. The bigger and clearer the picture the better the drawing. I will start an initial sketch right away and take pictures of it and show it to you. Please email them quickly if possible, because the holidays are coming and I get busy. Once the initial sketch is done. I usually take something down on it. It's a lot of work doing the initial sketch. This varies on the cost of the drawing which we will discuss right away. Drawings are usually 175 for 9x12's 225 for 11x14's 275 for 14x17's After this process is done I continue with your art piece sending you photos on line all the way through which many people find a lot of fun. I am also friends on Facebook with almost every person I've ever drawn for as well and would like to be your friend as well if you would like that. I post them on FB at your discretion. It makes me way more legit to people as well. The Prices vary with the art because of the size of the drawing as well as the number of faces. The number of faces DOES NOT double the cost. Usually an extra face is added depending on the size from anywhere between 25 and 50, but I do deals on these more than anything, so please call me about it at .(850) 691-3976

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

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.
