Get matched with top retaining wall installation pros in Eighty Four, PA

"Frank and two team members removed about 16.5 feet of old, rotting, wooden retaining wall and replaced with Versa-lok blocks. Job was completed in one day with crushed limestone base and 2lb limestone backfill for drainage. Very pleased with quality look of the wall. Frank was my fourth and last estimate I received when I started looking into this project. Without him knowing the first three estimates, his was by far, the best. His price was HALF what all other companies wanted to charge, and that really made me feel like he was the only one that was not ripping me off. Frank and co will now be called first the next time I need some work done."

"Wonderful job on the Retaining Wall"

"Rick Page did a great job with our retaining wall on our driveway. I would definitely use him again. Very satisfied."

"Hritsko Landscaping has transformed our property and pool area multiple times making it always look spectacular. They continue to handle any yearly touch-ups as well and if we need anything new they will definitely be our go-to."

"Frank was very responsive and very dedicated to the job. Frank dedicated all possible time and effort to completing the job, despite less than ideal weather conditions. He kept me informed at all times on the status and the steps needed. We actually added forty feet of Versaloc wall, which he completed quickly and matched the previous wall recently installed."

"Our old house on the Northside of Pittsburgh was in need of an exterior facelift and a new front porch to replace the one that had collapsed. I met with Dave LaBovick of Exceptional Exteriors and we agreed upon a price, which my wife and I found quite reasonable. The work on the vinyl siding began about a week later and took only a half a day to wrap up. The job was done to our complete satisfaction, The before and after is like night and day. Another crew arrived a few days later to do the porch and sidewalk. They began work on a Thursday afternoon and were finished 24 hours later. Once again, we are very happy with the result. In both cases, they removed all debris and left-over building materials associated with the job. We are not only completely satisfied with the work that Exceptional Exteriors did for us, we are looking forward to hiring them again for our next home project."

"We contacted Greg at Omnipro to have pavers added to an existing backyard patio. Greg was great to deal with and his recommendation of which pavers to select was spot on. The work was done timely & the end result exceeded our expectations. The clean up & repair of our yard was also very good. One minor post install issue. Again, Omnipro was very responsive. Highly recommend."

"This was my third time working with this contractor and each project was a pleasurable experience! As was the case with the other two, they started this project on time and finished on time! All the work was done according to strict Mount Lebanon code. They made suggestions based upon their experience i.e we wanted a six foot high shadow box fence but while Mount Lebanon code allows for a six foot high privacy fence of just about any style, they do not allow, by code, a six foot high shadowbox fence. Steve Hilpert proceeded to build us a 4 foot high shadowbox fence (the maximum height allowed by code) with a custom built 2 foot high trellis section which Mount Lebanon subsequently approved. The fence looks beautiful!
I was nervous about cutting a big hole in the wall of our addition to install the sliding glass door. Now the door looks like it has been there all along! It came out PERFECTLY!
The deck is also beautiful and solid as a rock! We had an issue with the location of our two central air conditioning units off the back of the house. The other contractors (which I found here on Angie's List as well) said they would just build over these units. Not knowing anything about central air conditioning this seemed reasonable to me. Steve was the ONLY contractor who told me that you absolutely CAN NOT block the air flow above the units! Not only that, he was honest enough to tell me that moving the units should be done by a qualified HVAC contractor. Now that is a contractor you can trust!
All work was completed on time and within budget. The same crew arrived early each day and were polite and professional. The job site was spotless at the end of each day!
If you are looking for a trustworthy, professional contractor, you can not go wrong with SC Hilpert!!!"

"To begin, I’m not typically someone who writes a review for a business, my dining experience, etc, regardless of my position being good or bad.  That said, however, I do find it necessary to write a review for Cargan Industries.   For years, I didn’t have a backyard.  I stepped out of my home and onto a concrete driveway, which lead to a 25’ hill and difficult access to a lower area, which was not a useable space. I finally decided the only way to utilize any of this space was to build retaining walls with steps to access the lower area. At that point, I began researching landscaping companies.  I received a few estimates, and the price tag was hefty, but I understood this going into the project.  Fortunately, a friend recommended I call Mike Swasey, the owner of Cargan Industries, which I did.   Upon contacting Mike, he was candid about his schedule and told me the earliest he could be there was the following week. At first I thought, “How bad do you want the job if you can’t get here until next week?”  I had to check myself though and realize that my project isn’t the only project out there.   Fast forward to the following week and Mike showed up on time and I explained to him the dilemma I was having and my thoughts on the project.  I almost immediately knew he was getting the job at that point. He not only listened to my ideas, but he began asking questions and making additional recommendations that I had not considered. I’ll chalk that up to lack of experience and vision on my end.   I believe things happen for a reason and I’m certain that recommendation from my friend was supposed to happen because I couldn’t have envisioned a greater outcome for this project.  The result was 20’ retaining wall, which provided me with a 2,000 square foot, level back yard. Additionally, I was able to build a detached garage that I had always wanted, but figured could never happen.   I’ll admit, there were some pain points throughout the process as the project turned out to me somewhat of a logistical nightmare due to the amount of materials needed and the lack of space on my property to stage them, along with the equipment needed to complete the project.  This was no fault of Cargan, but rather the limited amount of space I had available to them.  As I reflect back, it still seems unbelievable how Mike and his crew were able to maneuver about my property and complete this project.  My property looked like a construction site with the equipment, dirt, stone, blocks, etc., but they certainly never left it looking a mess when they left each day.   I watched the Cargan team clean-up their tools, my driveway, and even the road where they accessed my driveway to make sure I wasn’t catching any static from the neighbors.    Anyways, I remain so pleased that I can go on and on about my experience. This was the first project completed for me by Mike Swasey and Cargan Industries, which finished just over a year ago. Since then, I’ve had Cargan install a patio for my parents and a few other retaining walls.   Please, if you are considering an outdoor project, call these guys! The entire team is respectful, hard-working, and knowledgeable.     "
