We had cracks in the dyed mortar of the bricks above our garage. Grady took the time to match the color, even with the color having aged 10 years, and you would not even be able to tell that there was new mortar. If your project is anything like ours, you will not be disappointed.

I needed stucco repair work on an old chimney (and other spots). Grady was meticulous and thoughtful on what approaches and materials would work. Throughout the project they allocated sufficient time for each treatment to cure and inspected the work before proceeding to the next step. Grady started the project with no money down and only required ongoing payments for materials until the project was well underway. The final payment was due only after they did a final inspection. Total project cost was also below other bids.

When confronted with a crisis because of a copper plumbing burglary, Mr. Grady, of Grady's Painting, Plastering and Construction, willingly traveled many miles to come to my aid. Requesting only a $1.00 deposit against a $4,500.00 job, he masterfully reconstructed my nineteenth century lath and plaster hallway wall, also thoroughly compensating for a missing portion of a central stud unwittingly removed by a plumber! After his extensive search for appropriate composition and dimension of material, he replaced and replicated a section of my forty-year-old faux onyx tub surround with common white PVC sheet, tinted oil-based colors, glaze, paint brush, and a rag. His applied natural talents and superlative skills saved me thousands of dollars! On the basis of both professional conversation and knowledgeable observation, Mr. Grady possesses the intrinsic knowledge of old-world trades, the artistic capabilities, the problem=solving thought processes, and the personal work ethic to accomplish a broud scope of reconstruction and restoration.

Grady provided excellent customer service and worked around a difficult schedule. He made sure I understood exactly what needed to be done, even providing pictures of the work. He was punctual as well as thorough. He cares about the work he does and goes out of his way to make sure his customers are satisfied. I would highly recommend him.

This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it.

GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING. He told me he was putting the $485 he charged me for a moisture inspection towards the final cost of repairing my stucco which was also supposed to be at a discount. After trying to get me on his schedule for three months, he denied we ever had any conversation besides doing the $485 inspection, to my surprise. He denied he told me the inspection cost was going towards the final repair work for the stucco work; he denied ever agreeing to do the work; he denied the price he quoted me; and, finally, he denied he was going to give me a discount on the final price. I would have never done the inspection for that price had it not been for him saying he was going to put it towards the final repair bill. I lost months of time on this project waiting for him. I finally got another company to do the job and I had a very good experience with them. Good luck. Go with him only if you *GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING.* He talks good game but follow-through is an issue.
Response from

"In response to HomeAdvisor review, I categorically reject M C complaint as unfounded in fact, and ejected by a neutral arbitrator I have 50 years experience doing plaster and stucco repair in home, churches and offices. I was taught by masons and artistic plaster men from generations past. I am considered a professional in my field and across the states. I was hired by the Complainant to inspect the stucco exterior and the masonry exterior of her home. Specifically testing for moisture. I quoted her a fair price of 485.00 to do the inspection considering I was driving from Pennsylvania to Virginia and I Spent over 2 hours inspecting her property. I wrote out a proposal for the Home Owner and listed the repairs I saw necessary. The home needed intensive work and I told her this. I also wrote the 485 dollar cost for the inspection on the proposal and she wrote me out a check for my work that was completed. As I was offended on her untruthful complaints, I could not come to an agreeable settlement with her outrage demands, A hearing was held before a neutral arbitrator, to which she agreed. Complainant, who testified has had multiple issues in her life, and confessed she did not have the final means to pay for the intensive repairs that needed to be done. She wanted a quick patch job and that was not the type of work that I performed. She then went to Home Advisor and made a complaint against me. We had a arbitrator hearing where she was require to prove what I did or did not do. What I proposed to do, to wit, inspect the house for moisture. Over the course of 1 1/2 hours of testimony, the arbitrator heard both sides and reviewed my written proposal and test results, which, I emphasize, was signed by her! the arbitrator ruled in my favor. NOW she continues to complain saying, " get everything in writing". She hesitates to point out that is exactly what I did.. I put it all in writing and she signed the agreement!!! and, the arbitrator found in my favor a full aberrational award from Fairclaims which is sponsored by HomeAdivisor. To which she conveniently fails to mention. Beware of people making false charges."

Used Grady's for doing tile and grout repair for my living/dining/Kitchen floor, which is well over 1000sq feet. Very reasonable pricing, and extremely clean job. They sealed up all the grout..

I had a small but complicated, hard to access, and structurally essential repair job on a 60-year-old concrete deck attached to my 280-year-old Pennsylvania limestone farmhouse. I contacted several masons listed for my area on Home Advisor, and included Mr. Grady as a long shot -- I read about his expertise with historical structures and wished I had access to such an expert craftsman, but I didn't think he'd be interested in my teeny job and assumed I wouldn't be able to afford him anyway. He was the first one to return my call and to look at the job, and I thought his price was fair. I believe now it was way more than fair, considering the time he spent. He did extensive research, going over a structural engineer's report I had done previously on the deck and even examining the original architectural drawings and materials invoices from 1959. He showed up at least three times to complete the repair in stages, and has been back a half a dozen times since then to check the job -- and my location is not exactly in his neighborhood. He accepted only enough payment in advance to pay for lodging for himself and his assistant when they stayed nearby one night in order to be there early the next morning. He gave and continues to give free advice about preserving my stone house and patio. If you prod him a little, he might even share some of his personal philosophy, earned over a lifetime of work that is clearly more of an art form than a job to him. Overall, I'd say you can hire one of many competent contractors and get an adequate job, or you can hire Mr. Grady and get superior work by someone who cares about your property as much as you do.

They only charge $1,000 for the entire roof of my garage, and it was a good deal. This included removal of all the old shingles, and hauling all of the used material off the property to the dump. -Debra Castrinos

Grady did not take a dime until he was done. His estimates were accurate. He performed the job quickly and when he said he would. Grady is a rare specialist in old houses - there were few people i could turn to when i needed to repoint the basement foundation of my Brooklyn brownstone from 1880. Grady knew the historic mortar mix that was appropriate to use (Virginia limeworks lime and sand) and he cares as much about my house as I do - promises to return once in the summer and again in the fall to make sure the mortar is curing properly. Great job Grady! You are a straight guy, easy to work with, and very very knowledgeable.

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 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 by Service Magic.
