We have been alarmed at the methods for steeple restoration used by many of our competitors.  Many of the better known restoration companies that work predominantly on steeples prioritize the exterior details of the steeple, but are all too quick to cut corners when it comes to the historic joinery beneath the surface.  Although fabricating a replica of a steeple or repairing one with modern materials may, in some cases, save a few dollars, we feel that this sort of cost cutting comes at the expense of preserving historically significant joinery.  These conventionally framed replicas are merely caricatures of the masterful structures that they replace.  Once the timbers are gone, so is the story of the steeple.
