Brick & Stone Masonry Contractors in Carmel, NY

"I had trouble understanding Luis because of his accent and my hearing loss. But his associate, Alex was an excellent communicator and we did end up hiring them to re-point our Flagstone walkway. They did an excellent job cleaning out the old, broken cement and grinding down the existing flagstones so that they could get more cement between them. And they still are arranged aesthetically which was very important to me. They brought everything needed and cleaned up when the job was done. They are friendly people and it was good to be able to text Alex so that I could “hear him“. I would definitely hire them again."

"Luis came to our home to look at the project. As he walk around the area, he was informing us how the job was going to be done and the outlook of the final product. We received his estimate, in writing, unlike some other companies, where they gave us a verbal estimate and no outlined cost of the various labor and supplies required. Our project to remove an above ground pool, wooden retaining wall, and restoring the land as it was before the pool was installed. Great job and always on time."

"The owner is very courteous, walked us through every step, no surprises and it was a big job. Fifty percent cheaper than other estimates, and the workman he had on the team were a pleasure. From step one to completion everything was as he had said it would be, great guy and a great company. They were fantastic."

"The Ra Carpentry team did a great job in my house. Qualified, attentive delivered my project on time."

"professional and kind contractor."

"They ended up doing the retaining wall project, not the concrete work, only because the town is going to do the concrete work for free. Jose, the manager/ owner gave us very fair, lower prices than Land and Stone, and the other contractor (just finished your retaining wall survey) He worked with us, was very flexible, and his workers were really hardworking, very nice and did a great job!"

"They were very good, quick, and cleaned up."

"Took 3 visits but was well worth the time, attention and patience to get the job done right. First day was inspection and quote for repairs/materials. Work started that day to patch the cement crown that was cracked and channeling water down one side of the chimney eroding bricks. A bowed metal plate on the chimney to shed water between the two flue caps was flattened and sealed with cement so it did not show from the ground and so flies would stop entering into the house thru one of the flues. Crumbling mortar was replaced between bricks and bricks were waterproofed. The chimney was measured and the cap to cover the entire chimney was ordered. The 2nd visit got rained out. The 3rd visit was a good weather day and the cap was assembled, installed and cemented in place. It is amazing how strong the animal guard around the 4 sides of the chimney is. The crew at all times was friendly, courteous & very competent being careful to do the entire project as if it was their home."

"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."
