Framing Repair Services in Fredericksburg, VA

"Bobby Rose is a pleasure to work with. Always explains what he can do and why, and provides any number of options which might work, which is what sold me on them to begin with. My project started with replacing a main rear deck entrance door and frame, which was rotting again after only 4-5 years (Virginia's climate change impact, folks). Bobby had several ideas on transferring rain water away from the doorway and interior tile, and I wanted something that was going to last, knowing that we're only going to get wetter and wetter in coming years. With a vinyl frame and several tricks he had with the doorstep and overhang, and adding a storm door in front, I feel like our problems have been eliminated. Cost was fair and I feel workmanship was top quality. Bobby also installed new shutter locks on our 18 year old front shutters on the siding at a very reasonable price. We'll need new siding in a few years, but this inexpensive repair was Bobby's idea and will buy us time to decide on other things we might do, as several of the old weathered shutters were beginning to hang from their borings. This project further expanded to include new door handles and locks throughout our 3-level home. Mr. Rose knows his locks and doors and uses only the best, those that he has tried and trusts over his years of experience. I'm once again very pleased with the cost and quality of workmanship!"

"It is with deep satisfaction that I recommend Gradys Painting and Plastering & Construction. Mr. George Grady is a skilled craftsman. He was hired to correct long neglected and extensive masonry and window issues on a large, beautiful Presbyterian Church built in the Civil War era in Philadelphia. The property was neglected with only minimal maintenance performed over the last 40+ years. The building was in severe decline and in need of stabilization and restoration on many fronts. Cracked ledge plates were chipped out and reestablished, internal walls damaged by leakage were broken out and repaired, brickwork was repointed and in severe cases reestablished to original strength and beauty. Leaks around the base of the building were addressed to stabilize deterioration of the foundation. Large rotted window sills under beautiful stained glass windows were restored after significant masonry reestablishment due to water damage under the rotted out sills. Broken and missing stained glass windows are in the process of repair and replacement. The process started with new metal frames cast by Mr. Grady. The new frames will hold clear painted replications of the original stained glass, also crafted by Mr. Grady. Regular windows all around the church and manse were also repaired and restored. Roof leaks were accurately identified and repaired. A sagging plaster ceiling has been torn out and restored. All this work was done by Mr. Grady alone or with an occasional helper. He worked with care, expertise and respect for the original structure. The results far exceeded our expectations and have injected new life into a building on the brink. This building, owned by the Presbytery of Philadelphia, now houses a new urban ministry in a newly gentrifying area of the city. We are happy to have had the good fortune to be connected to Gradys Painting and Plastering & Construction by Service Magic."

"Great job by Mike and his team with the vent/duct cleaning! Prompt, very professional, and reasonably priced. Will be hiring them for other things needing to be done at the house. Highly recommend!"
