"We wanted to remodel our single car garage into a living room for our house. The dimensions for the garage were approximately 11x23 with a large garage door opening and a 36X34; wide opening into the house. We got three separate quotes and Buck Construction came in under the other two with a similar amount of work in the quote. We decided to go with Buck Construction and are very happy that we did. I really wish we could post pictures of the work Dave did as it was absolutely amazing. I am an avid DIY and just did not have the time nor ambition to do this project myself. Dave used hardware and materials that exceeded the standards when it came to the construction of the floor and insulation for the walls. Dave did not cut corners during the project and did things the correct way. He was easy to work with and communicated well in regards to his work schedule. He also worked very hard and the day to day progress on the renovation was amazing. As for the project, he had to build up the footer where the garage door is with concrete. Once the concrete was dried he framed up the opening were the garage door was and 2 double hung windows were placed in the opening. The former doorway entrance into the house was blown out leaving about a 6 foot opening into the new living space which really opened up the concept of the house. He replaced 2 picture windows with awning windows. For the floor he brought the joists up level with the existing floor in the other room and transitioned it beautifully. He framed up the back door and replaced that as well. The drywall was hung and finished with a smooth finish. A ¾ inch hardwood floor was laid by him and he finished with molding for the floor and crown molding on the ceiling. I could probably get into more detail but I am reaching the count for what I am allowed to write. Anyhow I would recommend Buck Construction (Dave) to anyone as his professionalism and quality of work exceeded the standard and my expectations."

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

"Shamrock Maintenance Corp. did an excellent job cleaning and inspecting our wood burning stove. The technician arrived on time, was professional, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. They made sure the area was protected and left everything clean once the job was completed. I appreciated how thorough the inspection was and the time they took to answer our questions. It’s hard to find reliable service these days, but they definitely delivered. Highly recommend."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

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.

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.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

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.
