"Alpha Home Services was such a big help! I had a water leak incident that damaged the floor and ceiling of my home and Alpha Home Services was able to come quickly and open the ceiling and take out the dry wall. The first day they came they laid out all the plastic and closed off the damaged area and took out the dry wall to let air dry the foundation of the home. The next day they let it dry and came to check and spray to ensure there would be no mold. After they came again to install new dry wall and paint. They also were able to give me an estimate for all the damages and talk to my insurance company for the claim. I was able to get my claim and my home repaired in no time. Thank you again!"

Customer satisfaction comes first, which is why the owner is present throughout most of the construction and installation. We love what we do and we put that care into each project. We have hundreds of satisfied customers in MD, DC and Northern Virginia who will be more than happy to provide references. From simple and humble patios to vast and spacious landscapes, we always bring sophistication. Great or small, every endeavor is an honor to us and your exquisite taste is our passion.

"We had an excellent experience working with Mike Erickson and his team from DC Patio. They removed the old concreate patio at the back of our house and installed a new large flagstone patio. They installed a new front stoop and a new front walkway. They performed a new drainage installation. They installed new footings for the deck posts and added decorative gravel under the deck area. They improved the back lawn grading. The quality of job is great. We highly recommend Mike and his team."

"Before I hired Mr. Reyes, we spoke in detail about what I expected. He agreed. What I got was a sloppy and unprofessional job. He rushed through my job in order to finish in one day as opposed to taking his time and doing a thorough and professional job. He was supposed to clean and restore the shower base, stall and frame. He painted over built up dirt in the shower base. Now, there are dirt stains showing through the paint and the base is so uneven and rough that if I stepped in the shower the bottom of my feet may get cut. Instead of cleaning the frame thoroughly, he painted over built up dirt and it looks terrible. He painted just the bottom of the frame with the wrong type of paint. He wasn't supposed to paint the frame at all. He painted the drain as opposed to removing, cleaning and replacing it after the paint dried. His caulking job is uneven and lacks consistency. He left paint on the shower head and light fixture in the ceiling. He was supposed to replace the door henges, light switch and electric socket. He didn't. He painted part of the door frame and left the other parts unpainted. He didn't smooth out the vanity before painting leaving it looking a mess inside and out. He left paint on the vanity door henges. He left running paint in spots and paint droppings in the window seal. He painted parts of the window frame that did not need to be painted and it's sporadic and sloppy. He didn't prep the walls before painting (as discussed) leaving the walls uneven and bumpy. He did a mediocre job cleaning the shower tiles. He did a good job cleaning the shower glass, installing the quarter round and covering the base of the vanity with a special adhesive paper. Another contractor installed the flooring and new toilet. After he finished the job, Mr. Reyes sent me a very nice video that made everything look beautiful. I told him I'd have to see the work in person because videos can be deceiving. When I saw what he did, I was very upset. I contacted him about my concerns and he returned on November 13th. I pointed out all of my complaints about this work. He asked me what I would pay for the job as is. I asked "You mean you aren't going to fix this?" He said no to fixing his work. I told him I'd pay $500. He said no to the $500 and said he was going to his truck to call some people. I considered that statement to be a threat. He sat in his truck for a while and I wasin my vehicle on the phone with an Angi representative when he walked up behind me a took a photo of my vehicle's license plate. I considered that to be another threat so I took photos of his license plates. Then he sent me a text instructing me to send the $500 via Zelle right now. He sent me a couple other messages about the $500. I told him I had to file a report with Angi and figure out how much it going to cost me to correct his work. Evidence that he knew he did a terrible job is that he refused to fix his work and the fact that he was willing to accept less than half of agreed upon amount of $1150. Two contractors came out and told me how unprofessional Mr. Reyes work is. One contractor quoted me a price of over $3000 to correct his work and do the job right. His final message to me was very munipulative and he ended it with "Don't make me think you're a bad person." Another threat. I didn't respond. Mr. Reyes' sloppy and unprofessional work caused a delay in my project."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Arlington, VA

With proper design and construction, stone retaining walls can last anywhere from 50 to 200 years. They're built to withstand soil pressure and environmental factors, especially when reinforced with geogrid and constructed on solid foundations. Using quality materials and skilled professionals ensures your retaining wall will be durable for decades.

You can choose between natural stone and stone veneer for your project. Natural stone offers timeless durability and character, while stone veneer provides a sleek, modern look and is lighter to install. Both options are strong and provide good drainage. Consider your budget, maintenance preferences, and design goals to decide which material is best for your wall.

Choosing the right masonry professional is key to ensuring your stone wall stands the test of time. Be sure to check that the contractor has valid licenses and certifications, and a strong track record of quality work. Look at their past projects and read customer reviews. Meeting them in person and getting detailed quotes will help you make an informed decision. Taking these steps will help you find an expert who can build a sturdy and beautiful wall for your home.
