What Our Clients Say…

All Trades Historical Restoration’s skilled craftsmen have experience in multiple trades of work while taking pride in restoring historic structures. Their skill and passion for preservation have contributed to the many awards of merit from various preservation offices.

All Trades contracted with Greater Bethel M.B. Church, Inc. for over $100K to do the exterior work of the church sanctuary which celebrated 123 years in 2017. Work included: cleaning, tuck pointing, sealants/coating and water/damp proofing and window restoration. The excellent work done by All Trades restored Greater Bethel exterior brand new…yes brand new. The large crack that was in the front of the church is now seamless, other cracks cannot be found, the polyglass has been replaced with a new and better product called Lexan…the best…what a glow on the windows at night. The owner, Mrs. Cassie Gardner is very professional and excellent to work with. She meets her client’s needs. She took the time to communicate the project status and provided weekly logs of the on-going project status. The project was completed by the due date and the project remained within budget. Oh yes, the water sealants used gave the church exterior a great shine.

Throughout the years the trustees were trying to fix roof leaks, repair plaster damage caused by moisture, tuckpoint and waterproof the exterior and any other repair they could think of to stop the moisture. It was as if they were making temporary solutions to a problem that had not yet been identified. That went on for almost 100 years! It was not until your team identified a problem of “shifting keystones” above the windows did we realize that no one in the decades past had recognized the true issue. Your team identify the problem and then took the time to come up with an ingenious solution of resetting the keystone and bricks and holding them in place with steel rods. Your solution was so original that you received an Award of Merit for Preservation from the Ohio Historical Society. Your repair and restoration work on the exterior teamed with your refurbishing and remodeling of the interior… has allowed me to brag that since 1915 our 100-year-old building has never been in better shape! No more leaking, no more moisture issues!

As State Project MP702 Administrative Grantee serving as liaison to All Trades Historical Restoration, LLC, I can personally attest positively to their professional manner of handling the efforts involved in attaining very positive results in our restoration process. I was very much pleased with All Trades’ craftsmanship; overall skills; attentiveness to details; willingness to make sacrifices and genuine caring natures directed toward “Historic” Bethel AME Church in St. Petersburg, Florida. I don’t have enough superlatives to express my pleasure, but if rated on a star system, Five Stars is my choice.

Church of the Ascension in Clearwater Florida would highly recommend All Trades Restoration and Construction Company for all aspects of restoration. Our beautiful and historic church had many water intrusion issues for many years. As property manager for the church for 26 years we tried several companies and several techniques to solve the problem with no good results. Since All Trades completed their cleaning of our stone building using their sealing process we no longer have any moisture issues whatsoever. If ever we need any work on any of our buildings, we will make our first call to All Trades. We found Cassie Gardner to be most knowledgeable as to how to solve our problems. A very professional company.

and is a Hotel significant historical building in downtown
Lakeland, Florida. The building suffered major damage in
2017 during hurricane Irma. All Trades was diligent in
identifying damaged areas of the exterior finish and supplying
documentation for the insurance company. The final contract
was in excess of $1,000,000. The supervision and tradesmen
supplied by All Trades was some of the best I have ever worked
with and I would gladly recommend them on any historical
restoration project.

A second century theologian named Irenaeus said, “The glory of God is humanity fully alive.” All Trades Historical Restoration brought the fullness of their life and skills to bring new life to our treasured Good Shepherd window above our high altar. All Trades replaced the deteriorated wood structure surrounding our window as well as the lexan covering. Our historic and original Tiffany Good Shepherd Window has graced our sanctuary since 1896. Entrusting our heirloom to All Trades has been a blessing for our community of faith. Without reservation we recommend their care for antiquities worth preserving for future generations.
