Our team handles all permit applications and ensures your retaining wall meets local building codes and safety requirements throughout the construction process.
Installation timeframes vary based on wall height, length, materials, and site conditions. Most residential retaining walls take 3-7 days to complete.

Excellent service from start to finish! The team was professional, on time, and explained the entire foundation repair process clearly. Our home had several cracks and settling issues, and after the repair everything looks and feels solid again. Highly recommend Optane Masonry for anyone needing foundation work!

We recently had our chimney and brickwork repaired and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The crew arrived on time, explained the repair process clearly, and completed the job exactly when they said they would. Their workmanship and attention to detail were excellent, and the repaired area blends perfectly with the existing brick. They also kept the job site clean and were very respectful of our property. If you need masonry repair, this company delivers true 5-star service!
