"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"
"I am extremely happy with AJ's service, start to finish. We initially reached out for an estimate at the beginning of 2015. A representative came to our house to explain all the different products as well as pricing and timing. I had reached out to 2 other companies before hand but was not comfortable their high pressure selling. AJ was very patient with us regarding our timing and budget. I received an estimate on the spot and was able to take my time to review and get back to them. We scheduled the work for May and was able to have 7 Windows removed and replaced in only a few hours. We are very impressed with the quick respond time, professionalism and quality of work including cleanup. We plan on using AJ to replace the remaining Windows as well as a sliding glass door in early 2016. "

"Mike and his assistant (his son and others) performed a complete re-model of our newly purchased condo (built in 1917) in Ghent (Norfolk). HE IS FANTASTIC IN EVERY WAY - AAAA++++
EXPERIENCE IN EVALUATING CONTRACTORS:My experience in remodels is very extensive. I?ve personally built a large guest house from the ground up doing every trade myself; I?ve sub-contracted out three large homes complete re-models; I?ve built a new home using a general contractor. Thus, I have dealt with numerous handymen, sub contractors, contractors in every trade over the years. MIKE IS THE BEST I'VE EVER WORKED WITH.
SCOPE OF PROJECT: I hired every contractor remotely from San Francisco prior to moving out to Norfolk. Using Angie?s List and Better Business Bureau, I searched, evaluated numerous general contractors, handymen, kitchen specialist firms, bathroom specialist firms, electricians, plumbers, painters, tilers, floor refinishers, glass shower enclosures, heating /& air conditioning firms. I concluded early on that I would act as general contractor and sub out all the trades hiring an experienced ?handy man? who could also act as a general. Mike is listed under Handyman but is a General Contractor, can do every job and / or has a great list of sub-contractors for every trade and can hire them directly if need be. His portion of the job was $21,000. The total job which we both supervised counting the entire job, all trades, was over $50,000.
BID PREPARATION: Getting estimates from afar, I had prepared an extremely detailed, line by line item list of every step that needed to be done for each trade. Pictures we had taken when we examined the condo at time of purchase were attached; my real estate agent had keys to our condo and coordinated pick-up and return for inspection and estimates by contractors. All significant materials needed to be purchased for each sub-contractor, to do the job, were decided in advance and bill of materials (which I would purchase) attached to the estimate proposal so they knew exactly what they were dealing with. Each trade got an identical email from us with no changes, thus ensuring comparability. I was searching for the best workers, at reasonable costs, and a good personality fit - most important. Numerous emails and phone call exchanges with these folks over the six weeks it took to find / select contractors (note, I didn?t check references, going on gut instinct and AL and BBB reviews) I finalized our team. I estimated about two months for the job in total, had figured out rough time frames for each trade to begin and finish. I had contracts sent / signed, and initial deposits made for the work.
The highest priority to begin work early before I moved out to Norfolk was demolition and initial minor construction (moving walls) so securing a top flight handy man (who could function as a general contractor) was crucial.
PROFESSIONALISM: MIKE and his team (his son and others) ARE TOPS. From long distance emails and over the phone, Mike and I hit it off right off the bat. He is very, very professional, super experienced in all facets of construction, helpful with suggestions and ideas, very reasonably priced (on the lower end but important, not the low end - you get what you pay for). Most important, he is a gentleman, courteous, very likeable, cheerful, extremely honest, a church goer, a family man, very responsive (always a phone call response back to me generally within an hour and always with in the day). He commenced work two weeks prior to our arrival to the condo and the project was well under way before we arrived. From San Francisco, I generally spoke once a day if he needed, a clarification or if he ran into a problem, covering the first two weeks of the job. I knew within the first day or two I had the right man for the job and needn?t worry about a thing. Not only could he do virtually every trade, he has an excellent way of dealing with other sub-contractors who genuinely liked working with him, coordinating with them, their schedules, to keep things flowing smoothly. I flew out and joined him two weeks later, living there while the work was being done.
WORK ETHIC AND HONESTY: MIKE IS EXCELLENT. Once I arrived, Mike continued every day for two months, promptly on time, never a missed day (unless an unexpected family matter came up and he always called in advance - even if he was delayed and expected to be late on site, always a call). With the exception of sub-contracting electrical, painting, floor re-finish and shower enclosure, Mike and his son and helpers did everything: moving walls, new walk in closets with new wood flooring, drywall, new doors interior and exterior, floor and ceiling molding, minor electrical, all plumbing, kitchen / laundry appliance install, install some cabinets, master bath and powder room completely redone including new tub / shower, plumbing, fixtures, and tile. He is extremely detail conscious, everything needed to be perfect by him, always opted for the best look, never cut corners, even if cut into his profits - he is a perfectionist. Always cleaning up everything at the end of the day, removing tools. Remodels, especially old homes, always run into problems not anticipated and not part of the original contract. Important: home owners always come up with new ideas, the job expands, change orders, etc. Therefore, I knew from my extensive remodeling experience I would run over budget. I can assure you that Mike was always more than fair with me, not a bean counter, he included gratuitously many little things not in the budget or he did so at minor cost addition. It became a bit of a partnership.
JOB DONE: The condo is absolutely beautiful, on time (almost, our suggested changes / additions), done to perfection at a reasonable cost, with a wonderful working relationship, hassle free co-operative manner thanks to Mike.
SUMMARY: Having done five extensive home re-models, working with all the trades and at least 100 contractors, I CAN TRUTHFULLY SAY HE IS THE BEST. His work is top notch. HIS PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE. His work ethic superb and honesty is impeccable. Most importantly, a true gentleman and very likeable.
There’s no exact formula to calculate the cost of your mirror, but a few guidelines will help you estimate the price tag you can expect. The bigger the mirror, the higher the cost—and the same goes for thickness. Customizations will largely depend on the labor required, so think about how long your design will take and multiply that by your contractor’s hourly rate.
The methods outlined here are intended for surface scratches—ones that don’t cut into the glass very deeply. For deep scratches, you should consider a more comprehensive glass scratch repair kit. These kits come with abrasives, polishing compounds, and specialized tools designed for removing deep scratches from glass. If you feel uncomfortable tackling a deep scratch on your own, consider calling a local glass repair contractor.
The average mirror has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. After that, the coating begins to deteriorate, losing its reflective properties. Acrylic mirrors have a slightly shorter lifespan of seven to 10 years. Higher-quality acrylic sheets with UV-resistant properties have lifespans similar to those of your average mirror. By maintaining your mirrors and keeping them out of direct sunlight when not in use, you can extend their lifespan. Some mirrors can last for decades.
You can use a commercial water repellent treatment for glass on your shower doors to prevent water spots. Take care to only apply the product to glass. Letting air circulate also helps prevent water spots, as water is less likely to remain on the glass for a long time with good air circulation. Run your vent fan, open a window, and leave the shower door open for about half an hour after using the shower.
Yes, you can replace just the glass pane in a window without affecting the surrounding frame. This is a complex process, so it is best to hire a window repair professional to handle the task. A technician will cut the seal, remove the old glass, install the new pane, and properly seal it. For double-pane windows, this includes creating a vacuum between the panes and filling it with insulative gas to restore energy efficiency. Professionals can also help you choose the right type of glass for your window. This repair process is almost always more affordable than replacing the entire window unit.
