"Leo contacted us right away and came out the same day to give us an estimate. The walls in our bathroom were in various stages of wall paper removal (glue still on, drywall only, gouges and a few holes) and his quote was very reasonable to repair and resurface our small bathroom. Leo was able to take care of the bathroom in one day and it came out fabulous. I really couldn’t be happier. He was friendly, knowledgeable, honest (we were originally thinking we’d have to take down the existing drywall down), clean and did a fantastic job. Highly recommend and I will definitely call him again if the need arises!"

"Speedy Drywall Repair is definitely the team you want! They are fast, professional, and did a great job repairing both walls and ceilings. They can do the swirl pattern that others say "sorry, can't do that! " You will be happy you hired them. I am! They repaired 3 areas, including almost a full ceiling in 3 hours! No waiting for mud to dry...they use a fast dry method and guarantee it for life. If all contractors were this good...what a wonderful world it would be."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.  

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.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

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.
