"We give Tony the highest recommendation. We had water damage to the ceiling in our master bedroom along with other areas in different rooms that needed plaster repair. They meticulously protected the areas they worked in. Repairs were perfect and Tony matched the pattern in our ceiling perfectly. They cleaned up the area and left no signs they were there. No plaster dust anywhere. Tony and his assistant were personal and professional. We are so happy we chose them. Perfect job at a reasonable price."

"Chuck and Frank were able to get the job done in three days. They were very punctual each day and were wrapped up by mid-afternoon each time. The first day, they were very thorough in laying down protection for our hardwood floors and the carpeted bedroom, and all the trim work, and by the end of the first day, the first coat was well on it's way. By day three we had newly plastered walls that looked like they never had been textured before. We've given it some time to cure, and it'll be ready to paint very soon."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.

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.

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.

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.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.
