Don has been working in the construction business for over 40 years and actually did all the work himself until just a few years ago.

He listens to what you are looking for, supplies you with the best solutions and leaves you on your way with a complete list of references to check out our most recent jobs. Most people call him back because they realize that honesty and integrity are important in choosing someone to improve the most important invest in your life. Another important aspect is that D.F. Construction has full time employees, we never sub-contract. Don is on the job site everyday. All of my installers have been instructed by me as to how I like things done. I personally will keep in touch with you on a daily basis as to your satisfaction on the progress. We guarantee our work 100% and have the best qualified installers available. Servicing the Capital District.

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.
