First Church of Christ, Scientist — Door Restoration

The entrance doors of the First Church of Christ, Scientist in New York required comprehensive restoration to preserve both their architectural significance and functional integrity. These doors serve as the primary entrance to a landmark religious building, demanding restoration work that meets the highest preservation standards.

Our team carefully assessed each door, addressing structural issues including deteriorated joints, damaged panels, and worn hardware. The wood was repaired using traditional joinery methods, with any replacement material carefully matched to the original species and grain pattern to ensure an invisible repair.

The doors were refinished with a protective coating appropriate for the heavy foot traffic and weather exposure of a public entrance. The completed restoration honours the church’s architectural heritage while ensuring these doors will continue to welcome congregants for decades to come.
