Thread: Block Wall Questions

  1. #1

    I'm looking to have a 78lf 6' block wall installed in Huntington Beach.
    Questions:
    What can I expect to pay per foot? I know it depends on the type of block - so any rough estimates would be appreciated.
    How much more to install a few pilasters?
    Any recommended names?
    Thanks
    Justin

    We don't do CMU, but I think anywhere from $10 - $15 a square foot is ok. There are a lot of factors involved, but I think this is a fair perameter.
    Footing size.
    Block size?
    Solid grout?
    Bar detail?
    Pilaster size?
    Good luck

    My neighbor is having a bunch of work done and is offering to split the cost on the property line wall with me..... the problem is the current quote is at $115lf, or $19.23 a square foot. I need to call the contractor to get the details. I hope the KY is included in that price.
    One more thing - he was told that the additional cost of the pilasters was negated by not having to have as deep of a footing due to the additional strength of the pilasters. Legit or BS?
    Thanks for the info

    Wow, that sounds high. The last quote I got for 5' high, common block (stucco finish, no retaining needed) was $65.00 lf.

    we paid $45 a foot on the wall we had built.
    We had quotes up to $85, being patience and looking around we found a great price

    ..this is a good price range to be in...50' @ 6' high for $3200-3500 during the past summer

    nope. couldn't find any of the old companies around(it's been 15 years) but 65-100 bucks a linear foot sounds about right. going with less of a footing and less steel do to the use of pillasters sounds possibly illeagal. check local building codes if your going that route.
