Stained Glass Repair For KC Churches

Much of the stained glass across the country is turning 100 years old about now.  Meaning it is time for restoration and or thorough repair. Around a century is about when vintage stained glass on homes and churches begin to need repairs, due to the way it was built around the turn of the century. Now, if you think the stained glass on your KC church is beyond repair because of the way it looks, perhaps it is dingy, chipped and old, you will be pleasantly surprised when we say–it is probably not.  Read on to find out why.

Church Stained Glass That Is Old And Looks Lifeless Can Be Cleaned

Church stained glass and the surrounding lead are actually very easily brought back to their former life and luster with a thorough cleaning.  While the lead may look ugly and even when the glass has virtually no shine at all, our deep cleaning methods will amaze you. , We do cleanings both on and off your Kansas City chapel’s premises depending on what other repairs we need to do but one thing is for sure–  the brightness of the glass will blow you away, once our technicians are through.

Chapel Stained Glass That Is Bowing Or Sagging Can Be Restored

Many people see bowing wooden or steel frames on church stained glass windows and immediately think–all is lost.  We understand that when the support structure of religious stained glass windows start to bend, sag and bow, the stained glass can look pretty bad.  However, this is a challenge we deal with regularly. Not only do we rebuild the frame and structure of your church’s stained glass windows in our studio, but we also use modern lead additives to strengthen the stained glass–so it will last well over another 100 years and look great too.

Church Stained Glass That is Chipped, Cracked Can Be Repaired

Church stained glass that is chipped, cracked or missing can be a sad sight.  It may seem like the window is done for once a glass panel or many fall out. However, this is not a problem for our stained glass experts.  Some chips and cracks can be fixed right in the window. Other more seriously damaged windows will be taken to our studio and even the most obscure colored or textured glass pieces can be perfectly matched and re-installed into the window when we reassemble it.
