"John's work was excellent! He was here on time and completed the repair to our existing plastered walls in less than 2 weeks for a very large room including the ceiling and sloped walls. The result is nothing less than spectacular! I would hire him in an instant. Thank you, John!"

"Nelson and his assistant were excellent. They repaired several holes that an electrician had left in my bathroom wall drywall. They were efficient and left the walls with nice smooth surfaces and cleaned up when the job was done. I highly recommend NE Plastering and Painting!"

"We hired NE Foundation Crack Repair to fix a cracked foundation wall in our Basement. From our first communication to the estimate to the completion of the job this company was professional and very easy to deal with. Our technician Chase arrived when we expected, did a beautiful, clean, and complete repair of our garage wall inside and out. He was very skilled and knowledgeable and we were very happy with how friendly and professional he was. We highly recommend this company and would absolutely call them again if needed."

Small jobs welcome

"Travis went above and beyond on a retaining wall I needed to be repaired. When I first reached out, he assessed the scope of the project, thought about it, then sent out a quote. His quote was competitive, but what struck me the most is his creative approach to the work and willingness to do something "outside of the box". He removed a portion of the wall, used pressure treated lumber to keep cost down, and installed a new side set of stairs in place of the broken wall. He then proceeded to fix the remaining portion of the wall with cement. He went above and beyond to install sod to keep a portion of the dirt intact. I will definitely be reaching out to Travis for other masonry work. Thanks Travis!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"I removed tile on my kitchen walls. As it turned out I damaged the drywall beyond repair. Legasy Drywall and Plaster came to provide an estimate and actually spent time to remove all the damaged drywall. They will return as soon as the electrical work and granite removal has been completed to replace the drywall. The price was very fair and I am confident they will complete the job to my satisfaction."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.

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.

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.

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.
