The Art of Church Renovation: Blending Tradition with Modernity
Custom Solutions for Every Church
Churches are as unique as the congregations they serve. Our professional team takes pride in offering tailored renovation solutions that cater to a variety of architectural styles and budgets. From chancel furniture to complete sanctuary seating overhauls, we integrate timeless craftsmanship with modern conveniences.
Re-Upholstery and Refinishing
Our renovation process begins with removing existing furnishings, transporting them to our facilities, and meticulously restoring them. We offer services such as re-upholstery with durable, stain-resistant fabrics, refinishing with elegant wood stains, and the addition of high-density foam padding for superior comfort. This approach not only revitalizes your pews or seats but also preserves the historical significance of your space providing an economical option compared to buying new furniture.
Modern Aesthetic Enhancements
Preferred Seating understands the need to adapt to contemporary worship styles. Whether through updated color schemes, sleek finishes, or ergonomic designs, our renovations ensure that your sanctuary meets the expectations of modern congregants while honoring its heritage.
Worship Chancel Furnishings: Functional Elegance
Crafted for Durability and Beauty
Our selection of chancel furniture includes clergy chairs, kneelers, baptismal fonts, pulpits, and removable modesty screens. Each piece is handcrafted in the U.S. using durable hardwoods like oak, cherry or walnut. These furnishings are available in traditional, modern, and colonial styles, ensuring seamless integration with your sanctuary’s design.
Tailored to Your Worship Style
Preferred offers customization options, including multiple stain finishes, upholstered accents, and intricate detailing. Whether you’re aiming for classic refinement or contemporary minimalism, our chancel furniture enhances both the functionality and visual appeal of your space.
