"We had a complete house remodel done, exterior and interior, by Coal River Specialties. They removed and replaced all of the old siding and also painted the new siding and trim, painted the existing garage door (it was brown), replaced the exterior garage door, put up the light fixtures, replaced ALL of the interior Sheetrock, prepped and painted it all, replaced flooring throughout the entire home, replaced light fixtures throughout the entire house interior and exterior, built the back porch, replaced pickets on the side porch to match the back porch, put up railings and pickets on the front porch and so so so many other things that are required when remodeling a house. We absolutely LOVE everything! They did an awesome job! Here are just a few pictures….."

"After obtaining this company's name from servicemagic I called and the next day received a call from them. The following day David Burdette came to my house to give me a quote on the steps I needed. His quote was over 4 times lower than Alford's. Mr Burdette's demeanor was professional, knowlegable, and pleasant. Within days the crew showed up, were prompt, polite, efficient and did more work than was agreed on or that the job was quoted to cover. I was put completely at ease watching their perfectionist style work. I have another job I need done and have already contacted them for a quote to do it also. I HIGHLY reccomend this company"

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.

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.
