"Pepper Smith is the perfect example of "professional". He was prompt, efficient, and his work was OUTSTANDING!! And, his rates were excellent.

"We met Mike several years ago at the Home Show and had him come to our home to discuss the job we needed done. He arrived on time and explained everything with a fair quote. Since then, and over the past several years, we've contracted with Mike and Suburban Construction for many projects and have always been completely satisfied and happy with the results - from completely re-siding our house with new vinyl siding, renewing our front porch with composite flooring, adding stonework trim along the bottom of front, side and back of the house, re-siding and re-shingling roofs of two sheds, installing replacement windows in kitchen and living room...probably others I'm not recalling. Mike chooses the best product brands available for each project, and gives personal advice along the way. His crews are top notch - professional and highly skilled, personable, polite and respectful, and always go above and beyond with work, suggestions and advice. No matter how hot it is or how tired they are they completely clean up at the end of each day. The finished projects are always beautifully done, and they should all be proud of their stellar work. And not for nothing....they are as respectful as men wearing large work boots can be of your surrounding landscaping and flowers....construction "collateral damage" is minimal! During this past summer's latest project, one of the guys even helped me relocate my porch wreath, that held a robin's nest, to a quieter spot before the bow window was replaced!! (I replaced the wreath at the end of the day, mama robin came back, and babies started hatching the next day!) It's those extra little things that make a difference that make these guys so special!! After all, they're family men, too, and understand those random personal things that might be important to you. We highly recommend Suburban Construction for any project you need done, and not only would hire them again...we wouldn't look anywhere else! When Mike and George show up to measure you can be sure of great things to come! Thank you so much, guys!! You're the best! Suzanne and John Wilhelm"

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.
