Customers say: Terrific value

"Overall good job repairing the cement apron to my garage. Job was rescheduled a few times for various reasons, but since it's been completed I've had no problems with cracking or chipping. The color is not quite as white as the original cement, but other than that I have no complaints at all."

"Went very well.  I was concerned when he had to open a wall in living room for the duct work, but he assured me that when he was done, I wouldn't know he did any work there, and he was absolutely right. Wall looks the same as it did before, you can't tell it had two big holes in it.  Love my new bathroom.  After tearing out the fiberglass tub surround, he had to fix the wall and then waterproofed everything.  Chris did a great job on the tile, looks wonderful. I'm very happy with my new bathroom.

"It went great! ​The Clark team is fantastic! I could only find one company to install my wood burning fireplace incert but they quoted me more than double the price. I was so happy to hear about Clark Chimney & Madonry, they did a great job for less than half price. Chris was very professional, and efficient and his team were great! Thank you"

"Jeremy Wolfe promptly got in touch with us. Showed up the same day when he said he would to assess the repair needed for our roof. Purchased shingles within the hour and returned to install with his colleague. We were very happy with the work (done in the rain) and cleanup."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

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.

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.
