Testimonials
“GHG have done several small and large projects for my 1890’s home in the Adirondacks. They are always incredibly professional and accommodating. I know I can trust them to work diligently even when I’m away on vacation.”
“I worked with Mr. Barrow on the Park Avenue Armory, Board of Officers (2014) and Veterans Room (2015) restoration, where Mr. Barrow was a Project manager and Historic Fabric Consultant. From working with Mr. Barrow on these projects, I am very confident that he is an exceptional conservator artist. Mr. Barrow oversaw the historic plaster repairs, restoration of the decorative historic paint scheme and replicated historic wallpaper. The restoration of the Board of Officers Room was described in a New York Times article, “Ornate Peek at a Refreshed Gilded Age,” by Roberta Smith, the restoration of the Veterans Room was covered in a New York Times article, “Gilded Age Glows Again” by Randy Kennedy.
Mr. Barrow is without question a superb building conservator and artist with extraordinary ability and among the best Conservators I have worked with.”
