"We were very happy with the work completed by Leon Home Repairs. They were efficient and thorough. The work included installing a new countertop, sink, faucet,, and light fixture in one bathroom and painting the bathroom; removing painted wallpaper from one large wall and smoothing and painting the wall; replacing one set of bifold closet doors and trimming off and adjusting multiple other sets so they would operate smoothly; and replacing large window panels and the door in our front entryway. Dimas, who served as the foreman for the work on our house, also smelled gas in our utility closet and on his own initiative, figured out where the gas leak was and showed us, so we could call someone to come repair that. The team had an excellent range of skills and knowledge to tackle the variety of work we needed them to do. We will definitely call Leon Home Repairs again if we need more work done in the future."

"We had an excellent experience with Restoration, Repairs and Remodeling. Our back steps were rotting terribly and needed to be fully replaced. Roger and the team came out to give us a quote the same day we contacted them, and were available to start the job within a few days. The finished stairs look and feel fantastic. The best detail: They were able to remove some iron detailing from the original stairs and incorporate it into the new stairs in a creative and beautiful way. Roger and the team were friendly, thoughtful, and went the extra mile. They took me with them to the store to look at stain colors to be sure that we got the one that we would be most happy with -- instead of just looking at the squares on the brochure. I am looking around our house to see what other restoration projects we could hire this team to help us with!"

"I recently purchased a home in Apex, and I needed to have the polybutylene plumbing pipes replaced which required the opening up of sheet rock walls and ceilings. Silas came on time to give me an estimate on the patching and painting of the walls and ceilings. I received the estimate a day later for a fair price and Silas scheduled the job promptly and completed the work quickly. The patching and painting were expertly done and matched the existing walls and ceiling. I will definitely be hiring him again when I decide to paint the entire interior of the home."

Customers say: Quick response

"This is the second time we've hired Geo, the first time to build two porches, and this time to repair a busted pipe and replace drywall, as well as to rebuild a doorframe. We've been delighted both times with the work Geo and his team have done. His workers are polite and professional. They are prompt. They do a great job on time, and they clean everything up perfectly. We're happy to have found Geo and plan to continue to turn to him when we need help."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.
