"It is with deep satisfaction that I recommend Grady?s 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 Grady's Painting and Plastering & Construction"

"As soon as Mr. Ryan arrived, he was extremely professional. He quickly assessed both problem areas and while his assistant cut away the ceiling tile below the bathroom, he proceeded to the sunroom and started smoothing out the tile that showed signs of cracking. He then went and retrieved his sealer paint and started painting over the stained area. When I went back inside to check on the assistant,  I noticed he place a large amount of painters cloth down to protect the carpet and was cutting through the plaster. When he finished his cuts, he pulled the plaster away and cleared the space for Mr. Ryan to determine where the leak may be coming from. He found and advised the plaster was dry but had mold in it. He then showed me the damage and proceeded to locate what was causing the mold to form. He checked all the joints of the exposed piping from the bathroom and had me run water in the sink, shower and flush the toilet. While he found no actual leak, he did identify wet wood around the seal of the toilet and asked how long it had been since we had that seal replaced. I knew it had been well over 5 years and he determined from experience that normally that is when the seal needs to be replaced since the compounds in that type seal will  breakdown within a 5 year period. He then cleaned up all the mess that was made by cutting the plaster and vacuumed the area thoroughly. His professionalism and knowledge was outstanding and with his expert assistance, he was able to lead me in the right direction to further fix this problem so it would not happen again. We were extremely thrilled that his knowledge kept us from having to spend more money to someone else to determine the same result. I assured Mr. Ryan that will call on his services when we have future projects that need a contractor. I was extremely impressed by Mr. Ryan and his assistant and would recommend his service to anyone."
