Why retaining walls are constructed and the many uses for them

I want to thank everyone at Sinai for the great job you did at our house. I actually know a fair amount about construction and it was very gratifying to see your crews always making sure things were just perfect. They never failed to arrive early and stay late when necessary. They did not complain when some unexpected snag developed (in our case multiple old tree roots), and just going non-stop to get the project done right and on schedule. In all, Sinai's office staff and work crews provide professional, quality work at what I believe are reasonable prices. I'm not trying to write an advertisement for Sinai but just wanted you to know that my wife and I are very pleased and very happy with your crews and their foundation repair work.
