Church Renovations are Compete!
We recently underwent some renovations within the church. We had the boiler replaced, and some duct alterations performed to maximize the heating within the church. The Terrazzo Floors were refinished and the entire church was repainted. The work is now complete! Please see below for a detailed report of the costs associated with the renovation.
