Framing Repair Services in Palmyra, VA

"Robert is an "Old School" style professional, anything worth doing is worth doing right. As a retired Architect, I can tell you my standards are very high. Robert met those standards because his personal standards are high also. He replaced a very old deck railing that was a challenge. I presented him with "Hog Wire" material that I wanted to use plus we used cedar wood. The railing turned out amazing! Robert was very flexible and creative with solutions to combining the materials and adjusting to a deck built in 1976. Robert believes in customer service and satisfaction. He is pleasant to work with and is very efficient. His helper Anthony was great also. I am very happy with his work and would recommend him to you if you need work done. I have other work I will be doing with Robert in the future. Britt J. in Palmyra VA"

"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."
