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"

"Xtreme Masonry is unbelievable. From the estimate all the way up to the completed project they went above and beyond every step of the way to answer all my questions, while also educating me about my project. The day Terry came out for the estimate I was installing a new front door, he didn't hesitate to offer his knowledge and it really helped me out. Great people and amazing work. I would HIGHLY recommend Xtreme Masonry to anyone who is looking to have any Masonary work done around there home."

"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

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.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

They prevent soil erosion, add flat space, and enhance property aesthetics.

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.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.
