Easton, PA Our church was built in 1875 and we have had many repair people work on it over the years. Never did any group show the professionalism and expertise as deGruchy Masonry. They constantly kept us informed and updated throughout our repointing project. They are truly THE BEST! Michael Viglione Property Warden/Vestry member Trinity Episcopal Church
Easton, PA Dear Andy: I just wanted to drop you a note to express my sincere thanks for a job well done. I think Jeff and all of the men who worked on this project did an outstanding job. I think the project presented some challenges that you handled without any difficulties. I believe all of your workers are fine craftsmen who have done a great job. Please thank them for me. It was a pleasure working with you and all of your staff, and if the need ever presents itself in the future, your company will be the first I call. Thanks again. Sincerely, Wayne J. Unangst, Superintendent

Reading, PA Hi Andy,

I want to commend you on the job you did on our church. Everyone who's commented to me has been very impressed with the quality of the job. I don't get in to the church very often during the daylight, (except on Sundays, when I enter and exit through the back of the Education building), so I don't usually see the front of the church except driving past. The day when I went out specifically to look for your work, I only found two of the three spots you worked on. (Which is a GOOD thing, as it shows how well everything is blended. I didn't have any interaction with any of your personnel (other than your visit to talk to our Board of Trustees), but I heard no complaints from anyone. The other thing that really impressed me was your coming in under budget. In my job, I have to deal with a lot of contractors, etc. and commonly have to deal with costs adders due to initially underbidding. You told us up front how you would bid the job (shading toward worst case rather than best case), and that's what you did.

I hope this will just be the first of many projects that you will be doing for us. Once again, thanks for a job well done, and we look forward to working with you more in the future.

Sincerely,

Dave Prine
Chairman - Board of Trustees

Lehighton, PA All work was executed by DeGruchy Masonry Incorporated in a professional manner with an acute attention to detail which produced a finished project of the highest quality. All representatives and workers of the company were pleasant and went out of their way to insure that we were satisfied with every step of the repair/restoration process.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at (570)-325-3611 should you wish to discuss this matter in greater detail.

Sincerely,

Kenneth J. Leffler-Office Manager
Zion United Church of Christ
Bath, PA Dear Andy deGruchy,

I want to thank you and your team for the work you performed on our church. The results are nothing short of spectacular. Our building was worse than we expected and when the bricks actually started to fall out of the wall, we knew we had to take action. You were able to fix all the problems with the brick, even when the existing mortar was completely deteriorated. We really appreciate your recommendation of the copper craftsman who replaced our gutters and other complex copper flashings. Watching him work was like going back in time. The scaffolding you erected kept the areas around the church clean and we never felt that our congregation was in any danger. The bricks of our church look completely different after you removed the decades of deposits of dirt and grit. We always felt confident that your repair techniques and expertise matched the age and historic value of our church.

We would be glad to speak to any of your prospective customers in the future about our experience with your team.

God Bless,
Michael Horn

Radnor, PA While everyone wants to believe that a stone house is maintenance free, after 90 years, this one needed some restoration. I was very pleased to have secured the expertise of your firm and the craftsmen that you had on the job. You and the team had just the right approach to handling each element of the job. We all enjoy seeing the final product. It is very nice to find a company that knows what they are doing and do the job as professionals. I enjoyed having the crew on this job! Thanks for your help.
