For all projects, we engage skilled personnel who are not only capable of performing the work to be done, but also are very sensitive to capturing the feelings of the original designer, of our artists and our craftspeople. The various skilled craftspeople combined have over 150 years experience in doing work exclusively for Catholic Churches and Cathedrals. Our craftspeople strive, in accord with the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works, to provide a finished product that will lend itself to inspiring worship as a work of art that will have beauty as well as longevity.
