An example of our goal is to preserve the aesthetics of the architecture when installing protective covering.
I’m often asked, “Are you working on any big jobs right now?”
Often, it’s not the size of the job but how well our work blends into the architecture. This was a project we did for Palmyra United Methodist in Palmyra, Virginia, built-in 1830.
Originally the windows had single panes of stained glass. Just by adding a nicer glass and simple mullions, it added so much character to this country church.
Adding a sheet of tempered glass to the exterior sides protects the stained glass and saves considerably on heating and cooling while preserving the aesthetics of the original architecture.
We replaced rotted wood sills with cypress. Scraped, caulked, and painted their frames. Installed protective covering.
Sometimes, we get to work in some of the most beautiful places in Central Virginia.
Bethel United Methodist Church in Rochelle is one of the most charming locations we have ever worked in – on a hillside at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Constant winds with warm and friendly people.
We repaired the two front windows and installed protective covering to protect them from the winds and driving rain. We often get comments about how much warmer their sanctuary is after we install plate glass over the stained glass windows.
