"Actually I had more done than cabinets. Henry and Edward painted walls, added and painted new baseboards, and installed a ceiling fan. These two were very professional, but also became my friends. I recommend them highly, and will use them in the future."

"I was very happy with the results, and I would recommend him. The mortar in the brick underneath my bay window, and in other places, was cracked. In a few places, the brick was worn away. In one place, a brick had fallen onto the ground. Juan and his wife came to look at the project. His wife did the talking, and that was fine. They brought their one-year-old with them. They said that he had been working with family, and that he was starting out on his own. They first said that he could do the work in two weeks, but it turned out to be longer than that. The work that he was doing at the time, took a few days longer than expected. When he did the project, though, it went very well. He repaired the bay window brick, bringing some replacement brick along and matching my older Chicago brick very well. Then he sealed the brick all around the house, making some more repairs along the way. He finished all the repairs in one day."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.
