"I had a great experience with this company. They did several projects for me and I was happy with all of them. What I most appreciated was that they gave me the days they would be there and they showed up. They got each project done 1-2-3 rather than stretching each one out for weeks with countless excuses as contractors often do. I would highly recommend GMT Masonary."

"Lorenzo Salvioli was incredibly efficient, responsive, professional, and straightforward in his communications and the work he and his team performed. He came out first to meet with me and view the area we wanted to repave. He advised me on materials and where I might purchase them. He returned to measure the specific area and gave me an accurate count of how many pavers and how many thin stones to order. He predicted how long the project would take. The project came out beautifully. He and his team were very careful with the plants around the patio area that was repaved with porcelain pavers. We appreciated their care with our lawn and landscaping. They were clean and methodical in preparing the area to be repaved, paving it, and cleaning up afterwards. The outcome far exceeded my expectations - and that's a lot because I am a perfectionist. Lorenzo is an honest, highly skilled, and highly experienced mason and businessman. I recommend him to anyone. The fact that he consistently did as he said he would do (beginning with calling when he said he'd call, coming by when he said he would, and supplying a proposal when he said he would) set him apart from other potential masons I interviewed. His proposal was detailed, specific, and described exactly what he did. He also was reliable in following up with the paver provider and making sure the right materials had been ordered and starting when he said he would). Part of the beauty of the newly paved patio is the good feeling I have about Lorenzo's having done it. It is such a pleasure to work with such a professional and honest person. He absolutely knows his materials and the machines used to cut and apply it. I would trust him with any project involving masonry -- and probably beyond that scope were his business to take him there."

"From the first meeting with Ilir Iljazi, I felt at ease. I had multiple issues from trees that damaged a stone wall, stone steps and stone chimney. Punctual, polite, and listens to all of my concerns. Their crew were hard-working, and kept everything neat and organized, and when finished they tidied up the areas and removed all the depris. Every detail was addressed and they worked with the insurance company so their work was paid for in full. Lucky to have found such a wonderful company."

You can expect a concrete block wall to last 50 to 100 years—or even longer—when it’s built with quality blocks, proper rebar, and a pro installer. Longevity still depends on you keeping the wall clean, sealing it against moisture, and tackling small repairs early. Local climate and soil conditions also play a role, so check for cracks after heavy storms. With routine care, your wall should stay solid for decades.
Look for leaning, bowing, widening cracks, or loose mortar joints—those signs mean your wall could use extra muscle. If you spot any of them, call a structural engineer or masonry contractor. The professional will assess the damage and, if necessary, add rebar, grout, or new footings to shore things up. Acting quickly keeps small issues from turning into costly repairs.
The price to repair a retaining wall depends on the extent of the damage. Patching hairline cracks costs far less than rebuilding sections that have shifted or collapsed. Your material choice and local labor rates matter too—brick repairs run higher than concrete block fixes. Hire a retaining-wall professional to assess the problem and recommend the most effective repair plan before costs escalate.
