Get matched with top retaining wall installers in Ellwood City, PA

"Disappointing Job Completion. Walt's crew came out in mid April (2025) to replace the concrete slab/stoop in front of our door. The crew completed the job within two days once it was scheduled; another person came back at a later date to remove the forms. The top edge and sides of the slab have a nice, uniform look. However, the entire bottom edge was left jagged. The previous slab which they replaced had a smooth, uniform bottom edge. I texted Walt with my concern about the jagged condition the bottom edge of the new slab/stoop was left in. Walt told me the only thing he would be able to do is send someone out with a grinder. That was in May. To date, no one has come out from Stonewall Excavation, LLC. No texts, no calls. I gave ample time for someone to come out. I texted Walt in July to confirm that someone would indeed be coming by to do the grinding. He didn't respond to my texts. Guess he blew it off."

"The crew worked on our driveway in late July, early August. We’re very dissatisfied on how the job turned out. They cut out the bad section on 30 July and filled it with some sort of gravelly cold patch. The crew came back about a week later and sealed the driveway Problems: They DID NOT seal the gravelly patch area.........actually, they did seal a small portion of it, but that portion cracked within a few days Leads me to believe sealing any of it was a mistake as they must have KNOWN any part of the patch sealed would crack, but, of course, that leaves the driveway unfinished Highly related problem: The patch still has not totally dried, I can still push in on it with my thumb - and the situation is not getting better Hard to see how this job to be anything but a failure - ie, a waste of $3,600 Sign Grace Betts"

"Paid almost $2,000 for a small concrete stair repair. It started crumbling in 6 weeks. He came back to "fix" it and it lasted 3 months"

"We are extremely pleased with the exterior stairs Travis built for us. Building stairs that can withstand the elements requires specialized knowledge, and Travis delivered exceptional results. He demonstrated outstanding craftsmanship and an acute awareness of using durable, weather-resistant materials. The finished product is not only structurally sound and incredibly safe, but it also beautifully enhances our outdoor space. Travis’s attention to detail, from proper drainage to secure footing, gave us total confidence in his work. If you need a reliable and skilled builder for high-quality exterior stairs, Travis is absolutely the professional to hire—highly recommended!"

"Lucian was wonderful to work with. He completed some interior upgrades for us including installing double stacked crown moulding, as well as framing windows and openings. Lucian was very timely, responsive, and trustworthy. He made wonderful suggestions and was open to making changes when needed. Overall we would definitely recommend Lucian and look forward to working with him again in the future! "

" I had a small job that was on a time crunch. From the bid till the job was done Ryan was nothing but professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I knew I was going to hire him when I met him. He kept me apprised of details. He and his crew did a fantastic job. I absolutely recommend RMK Services and will definitely call them again. "

"Very professional and friendly!"

"Zach mis measured a foundation on step #1, made the wood structure fit in the cheapest and laziest way. Concrete pillars were supposed to be hidden under the shed (I also supplied a drawing from another contractor to go by) and they now extend past so I am not able to just easily landscape around them as well as some of the brackets literally hanging off of the pillars. A couple of the concrete screws did not draw down all the way, a normal person would find out why and fix but nope they left it this way, pictures in the link!! The foundation was not square and it is to wide as well due to this mistake. I also had to shim multiple areas due to the foundation not being level. He promised to come back and help with some landscaping and some sort of flashing on the back to help hide the mistakes and most importantly keep water off the wood, I even had him give me a paid receipt saying he will return to help and then disappeared. I have linked pictures and a video of the terrible workmanship. Would not recommend. A follow up and help with some of the landscaping would have been very appreciated. { Removed google link}"
