"Nelson and his crew were very professional- polite-outstanding at their job. Their work was meticulous. They arrived on time and the clean up superb. It was as if the were working on their own home. They also worked around my dog (Milo loved them).I have more projects that they are going to do for me. THEY ARE MY NEW GO TO FOR ALL FUTURE JOBS. The drywall-painting 3 rooms-new flooring looks fantastic. I could not be happier. I will recommend them to all my family and friends. My house has never looked so good.

"I was very pleased with Mr. Rodriguez's work. He was adept at his task, a wall behind a storm door that was damaged by water. This required him to take down the door and reinstall it back to its working fashion after replacing the rotted wood. He did so with great care and skill. I would very much recommend his work. He came on time, performed the repair and cleaned up very well after himself."

"Valentin Garcia did an amazing job cutting out the backsplash tiles from our kitchen and replacing the drywall!! They also patched an hole from an outlet that was removed. Extremely professional work. He and his partner were very friendly and respectful. They did a great job setting up to collect debris from the job site and cleaned up afterward. Highly recommend for your next job!"

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

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.

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.
