Reviving History: The Stained Glass Restoration at Christ Community Church

Stained Glass Restoration Project – Christ Community Church, Kansas City
We’re excited to share the journey of our stained glass restoration project at Christ Community Church in Kansas City. This historic church, with its stained glass windows over a century old, came to us needing comprehensive restoration to preserve their original beauty and integrity.
The Challenge of Restoring Centuries-Old Windows
The original windows at Christ Community Church are known for their high-quality craftsmanship and thick paint layers. These windows had successfully withstood the test of time for over 100 years, thanks to an excellent initial installation. However, time had inevitably taken its toll, necessitating restoration work.
Contemplating Restoration Approaches
The church had previously worked with another stained glass company and trusted us to explore various restoration options. One initial consideration was a piecemeal restoration approach, which would involve gradually repairing the stained glass windows over up to 20 years. However, we found that this method was both time-consuming and far more expensive, estimated to cost five times more than a complete removal and restoration process.
The Decision to Opt for Complete Restoration
Given the cost and time implications, the church wisely opted for the complete removal and restoration of the stained glass windows. This decision was driven by the need for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. By undertaking a full-scale restoration, we could guarantee a uniform and high-quality outcome, restoring the windows to their former glory while preserving their historical significance.
Phased Approach to Manage Costs
A key aspect of this stained glass restoration project was our phased approach. This method allows clients to manage the costs associated with such a significant restoration effort. By breaking down the work into manageable phases, we ensured that each stage received the detailed attention it deserved, while also aligning with the client’s budgetary constraints.
