church pew restoration refinishing


What a completely enjoyable experience to take the road show to Kalispell, MT and the beautiful Bethlehem Lutheran Church. It was summer and the Glacier National Park area was breathtaking.

The church project scope included refinishing of the hardwood floors (by others) and pew refinishing. We removed all the pews to a nearby warehouse for the work.

This is how the church looked before our work:

The faded washed out color of the pews was noticeably orphaned from the balance of the Tudor style church's old wood.

A close up of the pew condition:

The solid wood nature of the existing pews made restoration affordable and worthwhile. Scratches of this nature are mostly surface oriented and disappeared with our full refinishing. 

* Notice how we've retained the original patina and then matched the pews to the balance of the old wood in the church. The result is harmony. All the wood looks old and well maintained. Not newly stripped and refinished.

My son and daughter and I worked together. Here are the kids staining pews. Isn't that color rich?!!!


And you can see that we don't waste any time. We completed this work in 14 days. 

No matter where you are we are interested in helping.

Feel free to call us and tell us your church project story. The conestoga is loaded and ready to roll!
