Stained Glass Restoration Project – Christ Community Church, Kansas City
At Stained Glass Dallas, we are thrilled to share our recent restoration project at Christ Community Church in Kansas City. These stunning, historic windows have stood proudly for over 100 years, showcasing top-notch original craftsmanship and thick layers of paint. Yet, even the finest work requires care after a century.
The Challenge of Restoring Historic Windows
The leadership at Christ Community Church initially hired another stained glass company to tackle their window issues. They considered a piecemeal approach, but this method would take 20 years to complete and cost five times more than a complete removal and restoration. This would have caused long-term inconvenience for the congregation and significantly increased expenses.
Comprehensive Restoration: A Cost-Effective Solution
Ultimately, the church opted for a complete removal and restoration of all windows. This choice ensured efficiency and was more cost-effective. By addressing the entire project at once, we managed costs better and provided a fast, comprehensive restoration.
Phased Approach for Cost Management
We used a phased approach to help Christ Community Church manage their budget effectively while ensuring every aspect of their historic windows was meticulously restored. By breaking the project into manageable phases, we offered a flexible, thorough restoration that met the church’s needs perfectly.
The Importance of Quality in Stained Glass Work
This project proves our ability to handle both small-scale repairs and large, complex restorations. The original windows’ excellent quality and thick paint layers helped them last over a century. Our team recognized these details and restored the windows to their former glory, preserving a historical treasure.
Conclusion: Preserving History Through Skilled Restoration
The stained glass restoration project for Christ Community Church in Kansas City highlights our commitment to preserving historic artwork through skilled restoration.
