"I high recommend Etmond Komic! We originally hired him to repair our pool house wall and replace an attached, deteriorated shed. After removing the old structure, it became clear the wall had extensive, severe water damage and needed a complete rebuild. From start to finish, Etmond stood out: Detailed Proposal & Very Fair Pricing: While three other local companies gave vague, general quotes, Etmond provided a clear, thorough breakdown and a significantly better price. Thanks to his low overhead, his estimates were incredibly competitive without sacrificing quality. Innovative. Etmond suggested a fantastic new design for the attached shed that maximized head room and increased storage space while actually lowering the overall cost. The project presented several unforeseen issues—including an uneven asphalt base that required custom framing adjustments—and Etmond handled every single one with clever solutions. He is also proficient in electrical and plumbing. I highly recommend him!"

"We had a fence installed in our backyard. Mark showed up on time, finished the work fast, cleaned up after, and the price was reasonable. A week after we had the fence installed a tree fell on it, damaged the top bar. Mark came out quickly and charged a nominal fee to fix it. He was great. Highly recommend."

Wall Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

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.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

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.

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.
