Grady's Painting Plastering/Construction

Grady has done a wonderful job on repairs to our cemetery chapel. We had significant damage to the ceiling in the chapel which was built in1922 using the old methods with horsehair and pig bristle. Grady's repairs look exactly like the original ceiling's plaster work. I will recommend Mr. Grady's craftsmanship to everyone. Excellent work. Bob Morris VP Trustee Cortland Rural Cemetery

Grady was very professional and showed well knowledge in what he does. He went leaps and bounds above his normal duties, and also showed a real concern for our buildings problem. He was super fair on pricing and very detail oriented in his findings.

Grady is very friendly and does a great job. He is honest. He didn't ask for any money until well into the job, almost done. Then the balance due at the completion of the job. He is true to his word.

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.

Mr. Grady was great initially. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He worked hard and pulled in others to assist; however, one day he just never came back to finish. I hope everything is ok with him.

great price, timely work. very professional

very meticulous and detailed, excellent outcome

We've hired many contractors, and few compare to Grady. We hired Grady to waterproof our basement. He performed the work with uncommon skill. Going beyond fixing the problem, he resculped our walls to yield a finished product that looked better than we anticipated. 4 years later, he returned to patch up a few cracks that developed, free of charge! I don't know of any other contractor that would provide this level of warranty/service. A consummate professional, he not only performs expert work, but also returns phone calls in a timely manner and is refreshingly honest and fair in terms of contracts and payment. We highly recommend him!

Grady's did lathe and plaster repair in several rooms in my 100+ year old home. The work is holding up very well. He was timely and provided step by step information on the processes and timeframes during the entire job.
