"First he used non-english speaking workers,  very difficult to guide work  due to this.    Poor concrete laying and wanted to use my gravel instead of providing for job.    Intended to reuse old railroad ties for retaining walls instead of replacing them,  and did not intend to run new electrical but instead to hook into existing run.    Unacceptable as this is dangerous.   Also was not going to give any access into attic space until I realized that and specified they must give access.      
 Materials used in the addition itself were acceptable and it was well built, so the building skills are there just in my opinion overpriced.    Roof is acceptable but not something I would brag on.   
Gutters are well done but these were contracted out by the contractor not done by his employees.

"I've known Tom for years and when we needed to do some construction, and our previous guy vanished after coming for estimates, we called Tom. The shed went great. It is as solid and any I've ever seen. Concrete floor, stick frame, matches the house perfectly. Built on time and on budget.
Finishing the basement started out and finished fantastic. The bar is a true work of art full of character. Everything we have in there is awesome. If we came up with an idea, Tom worked hard to make it work. IF he saw it wasn't going to turn out like we wanted, then he would immediately let us know what he thought. Like getting the stone for the fireplace. He found some great man-made stuff that looks authentic. When the lift station for the wet bar malfunctioned due to a defect in the machine, he was on the spot to fix it.
The only drawback was when Tom got a little busy with too many jobs. We didn't have him on a contract so he didn't finish the library as quick as he did the rest of the basement. However, he was still able to make the shelving into a hidden door that blends in very well.
Tom is a master of cabinetry and does amazing finish work. He hand built my bar, and was able to make a lot of materials that looked like they came out of a catalog. My man cave looks like something you'd find down town at a micro brew pub.
When some rough weather hit Waynesville, he was out helping fix damaged roofs. He was at my place within a hour of me calling, and had patched the shingles before that evening. To this day I can still give him a call and ask him advice able little things and he can provide the insight. I also, know that if I need, he'd be here ASAP to fix it.

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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

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.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.
