"David did a great job. I liked that he always texted when on his way, and he was here when he said he would be. I only had a one week availability and he accommodated my request for that week. I hired him to put in a new ceiling. I planned to paint the wall myself after. He went above and beyond, prepping my walls where I had some damage."

"I can highly recommend Jamie Feher of J&J Construction & Remodeling. Jamie installed a sliding patio door for us and did a very good job. We were also satisfied with his painting of our living room ceiling along with some siding repair he did for us. Jamie is very knowledgeable with a lot of experience. As a result he gets the job done very efficiently."

"Marty was very quick to respond. He gave me an estimate when he said, but he did forget a wall. Him and his team had great turnaround time for drywall. They did not always come when they said and did cake when I wasn’t expecting them. If you have a VERY clear expectation of what you need these guys are great. I had a few odd things and apparently didn’t explain exactly what I wanted. They are drywall guys and not contractors. I also expected the room to be cleaned up and ready to paint when I was done. It wasn’t. I had to spend a lot of time wiping down the walls and cleaning joint compound off the floor. Even a once over with a vacuum would have been nice. I do feel I got what I paid for and they did get back to me within days."

"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

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

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.
