I had been looking for a company to build me a retaining wall in a challenging spot above ( and set back) from an existing 100 year old stone retaining wall. I finally came across Ramshaw who had stellar reviews.
Cliff returned my phone message quickly, and came out to discuss the project the same week. He gave me a clear idea of what was possible, and recommended putting in weeping tile drainage pipe as well to take
the pressure off the existing wall. Something that other companies had not suggested, but when I consulted an engineer contact I had, he confirmed that that was absolutely necessary for this project.
I had had a bad experience in the past with a contractor, so I had MANY questions and Cliff was happy to have several more phone conversations with me so that I fully understood the complete details of the project, what was involved, as well as confirming that he had a reliable team, and that he would also be onsite for the duration of the project as well. This really put my mind at ease, and I knew I was hiring the right company for this job.
They started exactly when they were booked to come and Cliff was again always happy to answer my questions, and I regularly checked on things to see how it was progressing. There was one glitch early on when they found the original decommissioned gas line pipe was exactly where they wanted to put the posts in, so I had to contact the gas company to come and cut and remove the old line. Which was a two hour delay while they waited for this. Cliff was very easy going about it, and not stressed at all about this glitch, which put my mind at ease. After this brief delay, the project moved forward as planned, and my new retaining wall looks amazing!!
I couldnt be happier with this company
