"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

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

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.

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.
