Minneapolis: Thank you for contacting Porch. The steps you specified are around $400 in precast. Plus removal of the old and installation of new. Installation at the site would require demolition, forming up new and placing concrete. You could also try masonry units. Best would be to get an estimate from a local landscape contractor.

Carol: Thank you for contacting Porch. The cost of repair depends upon the manufacturer of the washer, age and source of the issue. At some point depending upon the age, it makes more sense to just replace. To determine you will need to have an appliance repair technician take a look and diagnose. If your machine is a year or less old there might be a factory warranty, you might check on that by contacting the manufacturer.
