3 Reasons Why Church Stained Glass is Worth Restoring for Austin Churches

Many of the churches in Austin have these beautiful, grand stained glass windows that embody different biblical teachings. Stained glass begins to deteriorate around the 75-year to 100-year mark, making it important to consider your options if your stained glass is around this age range. While it may seem easier to just replace your stained glass, restoration offers many benefits that replacement doesn’t. Stained glass restoration can be one of the best investments you make for your church.

Advantages of Restoring Church Stained Glass in Austin

Restoration offers proper preservation for your stained glass windows, adding to property value and historical value. Many churches don’t even realize just how much their historic stained glass windows are valued at, making it important to find out. Experienced stained glass contractors should be able to provide a thorough, accurate appraisal based on photos alone. Many churches are shocked to discover the actual value of their stained glass, making restoration well worth the investment. In addition to antique value, restoration ensures sentimental and historical value remain intact as well. Stained glass can become a significant part of the community, remaining a part of family traditions and holiday services. Your congregation and clergy members will thank you for restoring your church’s treasured stained glass windows.

Choosing the Right Stained Glass Restoration Studio

Stained glass restoration is a highly technical skill that requires extensive training, education, and in-depth experience. The right stained glass studio should be able to provide references, past project experience that’s similar in size to your project, as well as accurate timeline and estimate. A restoration estimate should never be given over the phone– an on-site assessment is required to provide a comprehensive, accurate restoration project estimate.
