Company Background

Solid Contracting serves Pittsburgh homeowners who struggle with aging fences, uneven concrete, and overgrown properties. Whether you're near Schenley Park, the Strip District, or North Hills, we provide reliable fence and gate installation, automatic gate systems, and full masonry work including retaining walls, driveways, and patios. Our landscaping services cover everything from lawn care and shrub planting to tree trimming and irrigation design. We also build exterior and interior walls for more extensive renovations. Based in Pittsburgh, we understand the local terrain and weather challenges. Our goal is to solve common fencing problems like rotting wood, leaning posts, and broken gates with durable solutions that last. We also address drainage and erosion issues with proper grading and concrete work. From design through construction, we handle projects of any size with a focus on quality and neighborly communication.

Q&A

My wooden fence is rotting and several posts are leaning. Can Solid Contracting replace just the damaged sections, or do I need a whole new fence?

We often can replace only the failing posts and rotted pickets if the rest of the fence is in good shape. This is a common issue in Pittsburgh due to wet winters. We'll inspect the fence, check for ground-level rot, and advise whether a partial repair or full replacement is more cost-effective in the long run. Our goal is to match the style and stain so the repair blends seamlessly.

I want an automatic gate for my driveway near Shadyside, but the opening is uphill. Can Solid Contracting handle that installation?

Yes, we install automatic gates on sloped driveways, including those in Shadyside and Squirrel Hill. We use heavy-duty hinges and operators designed for inclines. We also assess the foundation and concrete condition to ensure the gate swings properly and won't bind. We'll handle all wiring, sensor placement, and safety testing.

My retaining wall in the South Side Slopes is bowing after heavy rain. Is that a sign of a bigger drainage problem, and can you fix the wall?

A bowing wall often indicates poor drainage behind it—a very common issue on Pittsburgh hillsides. We don't just patch the wall; we address the root cause by installing drainage gravel, weep holes, or a French drain system. Then we rebuild or reinforce the wall with interlocking concrete blocks or natural stone. We also consider the proximity to neighboring properties to control runoff properly.
