"They came when they said they were going to and they finished when they said they were going to. The price was fair and reasonable. They cleaned up behind themselves and left no trash. I would absolutely hire them again."

"I have used the services of John Adams in the past and have had excellent results.  I called him about the problem with a pocket door.  The door had come off the track and was back in the wall.  I was unsure how to get at the problem area and was considering cutting a hole in the wall for access.
John took time to carefully evaluate the problem so he would fix the door while doing minimizing any damage to the door frame and wall.  In the end he was able to get at the problem area by removing one piece of trim around the door frame.  The pocket door now  works better than ever.
I highly recommend his work.

"Called and talked to Sarah.  She and Brian came within 2 days.  Brian examined the area where a new decorative vent had been put in as well as a new vent boot.  Brain took photos to show me that the decorative vent had not be sealed off in side.  He caulked around both new items.  I tried to pay them for the service call , but they would not take any money.  The roof had been on for 2 years and it was not a problem with their work.  Such great service!

"Scott was great to work with on the planning and installation of my patio. He didn't rush any decisions, and was available and prompt with returning calls. Scotts crew was great as well, personal, professional and detail oriented. When asked, Scott was more than happy to verify and produce his insurance information. Follow up the very next day to complete the project, cut joints, and verified site area was clean. Overall a great experience on my first concrete project. Oh, turn around time was less than 2 weeks. Thanks Scott and crew,!"

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

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.
