Second time I have used Wonderland to fix chimneys. Both times excellent. After consulting with them, we decided to rebuild a 50 year old chimney. Wow it makes the house stand out now. Thanks again.

Like the Grimm fairy tale, The Ugly Duckling, Wonderland Masonry transformed a rental into a beautiful Swan. The brick driveway and bluestone walkway/stoop are simply amazing! Thank you to Enrique and crew!

Enrique and his crew have completed 3 separate jobs for me over the last several years. He bid around half of another contractor to repair my cracked and failing chimney cap. He used a drone to inspect it and take up-close photos so we could both see the damage. They did the job perfectly in a day. Then we had a 7' retaining wall completely collapse around the garage that needed to be rebuilt completely. Wonderland was the only contractor I could find who even wanted to bid the job. Again, he gave a fair price and completed a very hard job with his crew and the proper equipment. This summer, they repaired the front stone walkway and stoop - it looks great! They have proven to me to be a quality company, reliable with fair pricing.

We were referred to Enrique and his team at Wonderland for masonry work on our chimney and we couldn’t be happier. They were very reasonable and did fantastic work. Their team found a bit more work that had to be done (replacing the clay flue tiles) and they did that and charged us a very reasonable additional amount. We will need to do redo our walkways in the next couple of years and we can’t wait to work with them again. It’s a no brainer to work with this team.

Update: While we got off to a rough start, after Wonderland committed to resolving our communication issue, repairs went smoothly and the work was top notch. June 2024: Wonderland stopped communicating after I informed them I wanted to proceed with the project. I've tried emailing, texting and calling and no response. The start date has come and gone and nada. They were, however, able to promptly cash my deposit check.

We hired Enrique to completely tear down our exterior and interior fireplace/chimney. See below some before and after photos. I 100% recommend using Wonderland Masonry for all your brick needs. The quality of work is top notch, the men are always on time, diligent, hardworking guys. We couldn’t be happier with the work provided. Thank you Enrique! You are the best!

Retaining Wall Installation FAQs
We answer some of the most common questions regarding retaining wall installation. Feel free to reach out to us if your question isn't on the list!
- What is the price quote for a retaining wall?
- The national average cost to install a retaining wall is $6,300, with most homeowners in the U.S. paying between $3,500 and $9,400. In general, the average cost per square foot is $33. The total price greatly depends on your wall’s square footage and the materials used.
- What is the most cost effective retaining wall?
- The most affordable retaining wall options are concrete blocks and treated timber. Many homeowners opt for railroad ties as well. However, if you prefer stone, the most affordable solution is granite.
- What is the most expensive type of retaining wall?
- Natural stone is the most expensive material for retaining walls and is also considered the most aesthetically appealing option. The reason behind the high cost is that each stone must be individually placed and secured. This requires more labor and more materials, compared to other types of retaining walls.
- How to calculate the cost of a retaining wall?
- There are several factors you need to take into consideration when calculating the cost of a retaining wall. Start by deciding which material you will use and calculate the cost per square foot. Then, you need to take into account labor costs, which range from $15 to $40 per square foot or $50 to $75 per hour. Last but not least, take drainage into account, which typically costs $80 to $120 per linear square foot.
- How long do retaining walls last?
- How long a retaining wall lasts depends on several factors, including the material used and the quality of the construction. Concrete or stone walls should last anywhere from 50 to 100 years. Timber walls, on the other hand, last around 20 years.
- What type of contractor builds retaining walls?
- To choose a qualified retaining wall contractor, look for someone with qualifications and certifications in construction, engineering, or landscaping. Retaining walls are typically built by landscape contractors or masonry contractors. These professionals specialize in constructing structures that manage soil and enhance landscaping.
