Many houses of worship have been serving communities of the faithful for centuries. Major restorations are infrequent but very important. It is vital to get every detail right, as an upgrade must last for a long, long time.
For centuries, practical considerations prevailed. Church pews were very durable, after all. However, the ergonomics of such seating was not ideal. These cold, hard benches were difficult to sit in for extended periods. Pews were also prone to scratching and other damage.
Since 1989, Preferred Seating has brought quality, affordability, and innovation to commercial seating. We’ve participated in the restoration of countless venues. Examples include auditoriums, theaters, cinemas, restaurants, and more. We’ve also upgraded the seating in many houses of worship, from traditional to modern.

Preferred Seating Church Refurbished Seats
When Preferred Seating first arrived, pews comprised 88% of all church seating in the United States. Over the years, many clients replaced traditional pews with individual church seats. Such seating is often cushioned for added comfort. Custom church chairs complement their
surroundings, and worshippers get comfort they appreciate.
Today’s church renovations often include ergonomically designed chairs that deliver important benefits. They relieve muscle stress, reduce lower back strain, and improve blood circulation. Fewer distractions mean an improved focus on the worship experience.
A church renovation allows Preferred’s expert team to redesign seating layouts. We often increase seating capacity by up to 15%. Improved patterns simultaneously improve traffic flow.
Contemporary Church Renovation
General contractors tasked with major church renovations see seating renovations as key. They often deal with older houses of worship that have employed pew seating for decades.
Why are pews often replaced with individualized seating? There are some important reasons, including more attention to comfort. This is especially helpful to elderly individuals and parents with younger children. Also, pews consume more space than modern self-lifting seats. Advanced designs automatically retract to make ingress and egress easier.
Today’s investment in Preferred worship seating will continue to pay dividends in the:
- Comfort of attendees
- Potential for increased seating capacity
- Need for improved traffic flow
- Emphasis on simpler cleaning and maintenance

We’ve participated in the renovation of hundreds of venues, both large and small. We customize ergonomic, environmentally-friendly seating for diverse facilities. We work in everything from auditoriums to theaters, and from cinemas to restaurants. We also provide seating for church renovations around the country.
Some churches renew their sanctuaries with our cost-effective seating restoration service. We can strip and refinish wood or metal components. Bare wood and metal is refinished for a like-new appearance. For metal, consider the extreme durability of electrostatically applied powdercoat.
We can also reupholster seats to enhance the look of your church, synagogue, or temple. Old fabric is replaced by wear-resistant and water-resistant material. New foam inserts restore the loft.
For those who wish to invest in new seats, we know which product lines withstand the test of time. Clients trust us to recommend seatings that retain that “like new” look for as long as possible. They also want stylish and affordable seating that cuts maintenance and repair costs.
