"Peter answered all my questions and recommended oil based product to paint my furniture. He explained advantages and disadvantages., oil vs latex and I chose oil. I am SO HAPPY with the result- and the fumesâ which he informed me of â were fine. I actually added some smaller projects for him to do., which turned out fantastic. He is neat and conscientious, punctual and has a great work ethic. He takes pride in his work - rare Thea days-. Thank you Peter!"

"Spiros is top notch. He shows pride in workmanship and attention to detail. He's friendly, responsive, and enjoys fixing things. I initially hired him to replace rotting trim on my house siding. I hired him again to fix and reinforce our porch deck. I'm quite happy with both jobs. He treated my home as if it were his own."

"Diego and his crew are amazing! Punctual, fair price and just a great job all around. I even had other contractors come through who commented on what a great job they did. At one point we were on a very tight timeline and needed the remaining plaster installed before the floors went in. Diego’s crew worked late on a Saturday to make sure it was done. Simply could not have stayed on schedule without him."

Wall Repair 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.

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.

Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.
