"Damon and his crew did a great job skimcoating our textured walls. The texture drove my wife crazy, so this is definitely a win. They worked extremely hard. I didn't see Damon take a break the entire first day. He communicated with us every step of the way, and made sure to review the progress at the end of every shift. Their price was extremely fair, and the craftsmanship was top notch. They even did a great clean up on the last day. Highly recommend."

"Nate was very helpful. I do not consider myself to be handy at all, if I did this I'm sure I would have flooded my kitchen. In no time at all, a couple of hours he was able to install a new faucet. The hot and cold water is running perfect, no leaks. Nate was very courteous, he got back to me quickly, and was fantastic to work with."

"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."

Like many of the eastern cities, Pittsburgh has a long and rich history. That history is apparent when you look at the classic architecture of the city's buildings and houses. Unfortunately, classic houses generally come complete with a need for repairs. Of those that are common to Pittsburgh, window repairs are some of the most cost-effective projects available, and can truly make a difference in many ways.
Window Repair vs. Window Replacement
If you own a home that was built when the Monongahela was just a trickle, chances are that your windows could probably use some attention. In Pittsburgh's north side and in other older areas of the city, window replacement might not be the best option. Historic windows, though drafty and difficult at times, are growing increasingly rare, specifically because of these problems. If you happen to live in a house with these old, drafty windows, you should definitely look into what it would take to repair them to a more desirable condition before you make the call to have them completely replaced.
Pulling out an old window frame and putting in a new one is a pretty big job, but is necessary to reap the benefits that new windows provide. The downside is that the process is expensive, and in some cases, it could actually require some minor alteration to the existing structure of the house. Alternatives like weatherproofing your old windows or adding storm windows are much less costly and a lot less intrusive, as well.
Remember, though you can certainly make a home more energy-efficient by installing new windows, the charm of an old one is hard to replace. Those who think they would like to keep their classic windows will probably need to have the old paint stripped away and have the wood sealed against moisture. The windows can then be repainted, broken glass can be replaced, and loose glass can be refitted. Areas around the frame both outside and in can be inspected and any problem areas should be fixed before finally installing storm windows to protect the whole thing, while allowing the charm to remain.
If you live in a newer home near the outskirts of town, the biggest argument against complete replacement is the cost. As long as there are no enormous gaps or drafts, the amount of money you save on energy costs will take an awful long time to come near the price of replacing your windows.
Pittsburgh Window Repair Prices
Generally, replacing broken glass costs around $300 and repairing a window frame is around $400. Installing storm windows costs around $1,800 and can usually be done in a weekend. When considering window repair, Pittsburgh residents should definitely take into account the money that can be saved on utility bills over a cold winter or a hot, humid summer. The cost of multiple window replacement (which averages $6,500 nation wide) should also be compared to any estimate of what repairing and weatherproofing existing windows adds up to.
