Church Restorations
Restoring a church brings with it a host of special challenges, from extremely high ceilings to the handling of detailed architectural ornaments to precise color matching. Fortune Restoration has won multiple awards for our work restoring churches in the Chicago area.
St. Philip Neri Church in Chicago
National Award Winner
A massive undertaking, restoring this cathedral involved stone faux finishing, window frame repair, and extensive detail work.
Our Lady of Victory Church in Chicago
National Award Winner
"After a roofing project in 1996 caught the contractor off guard and water damaged the inside of the Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church, Fortune & Associates was called upon to fix the situation. Since the insurance company would not reimburse a complete restoration of the entire ceiling, their expertise was required as they faced the challenge of graining, stenciling, glazing and custom color matching to exactly match areas that had not been painted in 40 years." - PDCA
