Response from SAM'S RETAINING WALLS & HOME REPAIR
I’m sorry but I have not even done a bid for you. I went back and found your info. I did call you and told you that we don’t do concrete and that we are booking for next year. I don’t know if I talked to you someone else or left a message. It only says that I called. We have a lot of people calling us every day. I don’t believe you can give me a F rating because we are busy and don’t do the work that you want. I hope you rethink this. I am sure that there are people more deserving of an F than someone that you have never met. During this pandemic I thought that people would try to help each other not try to hurt someone’s business that YOU have never met.

Description of Work: Sam did a great job fixing a backyard drainage problem, and installed a new cobblestone patio and walkway. The hardscaping looks wonderful and there is no longer seepage into the basement when it rains. Sam's comes with my highest recommendation.

Response from SAM'S RETAINING WALLS & HOME REPAIR
He wanted me to come out and glue down his cap stones on a wall I did not build. I told him it would be cheaper to find someone near him. He said he wanted me. He knew the price before I came out. I'm sorry if it was to quick of a job for him, but that is how long it took. I gave him other options. I also informed him that his wall is failing and that is why his caps are separating. I wish luck in the future. Also I charge by the job , not the hour. I do not believe he would pay me extra if it took a week, because I had already quoted a price.

Description of Work: The project called for removal of some plants, grading, fill, and retaining wall. I have an area that requires good drainage to avoid water leaking into the basement. The problem, in my opinion, required someone with skill and experience dealing with drainage problems. I had four bidders and selected Sam because of his rating on Angie's list but especially for his track record with drainage issues. Sam and his crew did an excellent job, on time and on estimated cost. I would mort hesitate to recommend him and would use him again if the need arises.

Fine.
Description of Work: Sam bid on a small project in St. Louis City, somewhat removed from his normal environs out West. Although his bid was reasonable, it was higher than two others I had received. The work also was less than some of the major projects he has done for others, which he showed me with multiple books of photographs. He was courteous, pleasant, and professional but the job was accepted by another contractor.

Description of Work: I have a foundation that is sinking and Sam came out to look at it and give me an estimate. I was very impressed with his punctuality,professionalism and honesty. His expertise did not fit what I needed,but if I need repairs on my retaining walls I would not hesitate to call him.

One of the best experiences we've had! Sam and his crew gave us the lowest price and did superb work from start to finish. They also are friendly, kind and honest. Sam is a civil engineer who loves the outdoors, which is why he is in this business. Being a civil engineer was added peace for us. He is well-versed in all sorts of things, not just retaining walls. He worked every day on this job with his workers, too, which we liked.Sam gave me seven references...I called them all and all raved, and now I know why. Here's what we had Sam's do: 1) When we hired Sam, we asked him to dig down 3 feet on a wall adjacent to the hill where the retaining walls were to be installed. When he began digging, he brought to my attention that there were several small cracks that ran lengthwise down the wall. He advised me to keep digging to the footings, where he would fill the cracks with hydraulic cement, cover the wall with roofing tar, cover the tar with thick plastic in a backwards-J shape, and then add drainage tile which would tie into the tile behind the retaining wall. This was good advice...which had been confirmed earlier this spring by several foundation companies. 2) Sam also broke up an old concrete apron in front of our tuck-under garage. He managed to find a way to make a replacement drain cover that works great (ours was outdated and there is nothing made to fit anymore), and the cement work he did was beautiful. Not to leave anyone out...his workers Greg, Jeremy, and Bob were fantastic, too. They all seem to be good friends, never intrusive but always friendly. They all work very hard. 3) Now to the good part.....the retaining walls Sam's company built are well-executed and really great-looking! We never knew the hill could look this good. He flared out the steps and made the wall look as though it was designed by an architect. And that was with basic Perma-Lock interlocking materials, nothing fancy. 4) Sam and Greg built steps up the side of another hill so I can get to a spigot on the side of our house. They used stones from when they dug out the other hill, and did a great job. They did a decent job on cleanup and we actually hated to see Sam, Jeremy, Greg and Bob leave. In fact, we are having them do more work digging a trench in our backyard for a drainpipe and who knows, maybe we'll have them for dinner. I do recommend that you buy donuts or have coffee or sandwiches for this crew, as they deserve every extra you are willing to give.
Description of Work: Built retaining wall, two-tiered on shared driveway to left of garage. Also built retaining wall, one tier, on other side of garage. Replaced concrete apron in front of our tuck-under garage. Dug down one foundation wall to footings to waterproof/draw water away from wall with drain tile and, upon completion, angled dirt away from wall for better drainage. Also built steps out of flagstone in another area of the yard that are quite nice-looking.

They seemed fine. They were the first ones to call us back. They were very professional and knowledgeable. They brought a book over to show us their work, and it looked very good. We are getting another quote, and if the prices are close, we will probably go with them. My husband was impressed by them. They answered all of the questions that we had.
