Project Process and Timeline

  1. Solid Foundation Phase: We dig a trench and pour a concrete footing for stability. This is essential for Albuquerque’s dry, shifting soil.
  2. Curing Time: The warm climate allows footings to cure in about 2-3 days, creating a solid base.
  3. Mortar Application: A one-inch mortar bed ensures strong 3/8-inch joints between blocks for durability.
  4. Precision Construction: Each block layer is placed carefully for both strength and appearance.
  5. Safety Inspections: Regular checks ensure compliance with Albuquerque’s building codes, especially for retaining walls on sloped terrain.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Is a Cinder Block Wall Cheaper Than Concrete?

Cinder block walls can be more affordable than poured concrete. While the blocks cost more per unit, they require less labor and formwork, reducing overall costs. They are also durable and provide good insulation, which can help lower energy bills over time.

How Much Does a Cinder Block Wall Cost?

In Albuquerque, costs vary based on height, reinforcement, and design. A basic wall costs $25 to $35 per square foot. Reinforced walls range from $30 to $45 per square foot. Retaining walls cost more, usually $40 to $60 per square foot. Custom designs or decorative finishes can increase the price, sometimes exceeding $50 per square foot. Additional costs may apply for deeper foundations, rebar, and permits.

Do Cinder Block Walls Need Rebar?

Yes, especially for taller or load-bearing walls. Rebar adds strength and helps prevent cracking. Many building codes require it for retaining walls and structures over four feet high. It improves durability and stability, ensuring the wall can handle pressure and shifting ground.

Why Did They Stop Making Cinder Blocks?

Older cinder blocks contained coal ash, which made them weaker over time. Modern concrete blocks are stronger, safer, and provide better insulation. This makes them a more reliable choice for long-lasting construction.
