"The Tech was very nice and very pleasant to deal with. He went through the entire job before conducting his work and he was very thorough. He fixed my hole in my wall of my stairwell and did so very affordably. I would use them again. You shouldn't hesitate."
"Amazing workers can't believe the transformation, looks like a new house. from the removal of the ceiling, clean up, installation of the new sheet rock and painting both rooms. perfect work. they skim coated 2 walls to look like new walls. i come home and super happy with all the work. Great Job."
"Joe and his team were very courteous and professional . The job was done to perfection. I had a busted heating pipe and it damaged the ceiling and downstairs foyer. He replaced all the drywall and painted the area. They never left a messy jobsite and keep the dust to a minimum. They will always be the company I call when I need drywall repaired. I definitely recommend Artistic Drywall."
"I’ve used Angel and his crew multiple times to upgrade my home. Beautiful full wall wainscoting; Crown molding, and a custom wall to wall built in with custom built floating shelves.
He and his team and professional, clean, and very detail oriented. I recommend them 100%."
"I was very pleased and satisfied with the work that Loja Renovation provided. They replaced and installed a medicine cabinet by removing old tiles and replaced with new tiles to accommodate the new one. Patched a wall where a bathroom cabinet was removed. And replaced a tub spout with a new one. I would hire the again and recommend them to others."
"We are so pleased with the job Carlos and his did today. We needed a wall papered and they did a careful, excellent job. Carlos and his son are so pleasant! We wouldn’t hesitate to call Carlos and East Coast Painting and Finishes Inc. again!"
"Years ago, I had removed all the wallpaper off my bedroom walls & painted it. I suppose I had missed the paper off one wall & I thought it would be easy to peel it off myself. It was coming off in tiny little pieces and it became such a mess that I called Joe to get an estimate to fix it. His estimate was $235 to seal it, do a skim coat and paint it. This was much better than another quote I had of $600+. He came with two other guys, one of which is his brother-in-law and they finished in two days. I have used Joe before and again, I was satisfied with the job. He is professional, reliable and communicates well with his customers. He is Just Right! I love looking at that wall now and not getting stressed out about it!!"
"Ed and his team did an outstanding job. We used Bunny painting to remove wall paper and skimcoat our hallway and stairs. The job was done perfectly. They were fast and very professional. Our wall paper was old (1990 s) and very hard to remove but they were able to get it done. I highly recommend."
"Lenny and his crew are amazing. They are so easy to talk to and to ask questions about your job. Lenny gave us a very fair price for our job. His workers Keith and Marcel worked so hard on a very tough job fixing pavers around my built in pool. Now walking around a very uneven pool is safe and looks great. Too bad I have to wait until next season to use it. They will be hearing from me again."
Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.
If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.
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.
Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.
To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.
