"Eddie was great to work with! We had a limited time frame to adhere to town inspections and Eddie and his team knew exactly what we needed and quickly got the job done. The results were great and even the inspector acknowledged the impressive repair. They were able to put a knocked out garage wall back on the foundation and repair the interior dry wall. I would recommend this company for any professional contract work due to their reasonable price, ease to work with and quality of work."

Customers say: Quick response

"Excellent contractor. Responded to request for quote, visited the property promptly, after receiving photos to ensure nothing was missed in quoting the job. Gave a price, and stuck to that estimate. He explained the issues involved and gave options for approaches to fixing the problems. He was flexible in arranging a time when my tenant could give him access to electricity and water. Contractor showed up to the job with one additional workman on time. Did a very nice job, and cleaned up well afterwards. He even fixed up a few spots needing additional concrete to fill gaps, and while he was at it, he provided estimates for repairs on rear steps, as well as some further touch-up work to restore the finish to some main wall brick area. Steve, the owner/operator is a gentleman, and a very straightforward and down-to-earth person. He's easy to work with, and I highly recommend him for masonry work."

"Torres Contracting helped us with installing a new sidewalk, paved driveway (with specific requirements re design), a side area for the garbage cans and cement for part of a back porch. We hired Tony and Torres Contracting after a lot of due diligence. Tony is a busy man and communicates efficiently by text. He and his daughter addressed all my questions and concerns by phone, email and text. Further the team was excellent- including Juan, Edwin and several others— honest, technically very good and incredibly hard working especially in very hot weather! Torres Contracting was fair on pricing, the project was done in a la efficient manner and the work product is excellent. I am grateful we hired Tony and his company and I highly recommend them as a trustworthy company that does excellent work! Bottom line: Responsive, excellent work, fair price, active communication to understand expectations! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"It all started with a cedar wood deck that was rotting in several places. Because of his excellent reputation, I asked John Mignone of Timeless decks to come by and quote what it would take to repair the deck. After looking at the deck, John was able to show me that there were many more problem areas on the deck that needed urgent attention. I decided that it was time to replace the deck with one made from the new engineered materials. We liked the design of the old deck and asked John to quote the replacement. John came back with what was a very fair quote for ripping out the old deck and installing the new deck. We did request one significant change from the old deck and that was a cable railing system by a company called Feeney from California. Even though he had not worked with this railing company before, John was able to handle the logistics of defining the material requirements, getting the product in and installing it, at a reasonable additional cost. I asked John if he could also replace the rotting cedar wood fence around the pool pump and filter area. He quoted us a low maintenance fence that blended in very well with the pavers that we have around the pool. The fence was installed without any hitch at a fair price. My brick walkway to the house was also a problem because some bricks had shifted and they could possibly cause a person to trip and fall, a liability issue. I asked John if he knew anybody who could replace the walkway. It turns out that he had learned masonry skills from a master, his father. So, considering how well the other parts of our project had gone, I decided to go ahead with John’s proposal to replace the brick walkway and front stoop with new pavers. We agreed on a price and the new walkway was installed after we selected the pavers that we liked and the pattern that we wanted. The walkway is wide and level now and it looks 100% better than what we had there before. Overall, John was very easy to work with and the new deck and railing look beautiful. The pool area fence is no longer an eyesore, and the walkway actually has some real curb appeal. The first impression of friends that have come by has been “Wow, your new deck and walkway look great.” Needless to say, we are very pleased with the way the projects were done and we would recommend Timeless Decks to anyone."

"Mitch and the craftsmen working for him did an amazing transformation on my property. They did walkways, a patio, retaining walls, and stone face on the front of my home. My neighbors keep walking by with double "thumbs up". He started when he promised, and finished quickly. I would hire him again without any reservations. His price was very fair too, and the few small project "hidden problems" were fixed by him without extra charges."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

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.

The longevity of flood walls depends on how they were constructed, but most wood, gravel, and cement flood walls last 10 years. While aluminum flood walls may cost far more initially, they can be a good investment as they can last decades and will not be damaged by exposure to the elements.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.
