Church Bell Tower Repairs on the Main Line

This was an incredible challenge involving a bell tower roof drainage system. The church includes a well-known sanctuary edifice recognizable almost immediately as one of the premier archetectural achievements of its type. Truly the style and design of this building are stunning as it glows within its rural Main Line setting. The gargoyles which serve as drainage channels for the bell tower roof required copper spout replacement. This was done while hanging in a boatswain chair (with a safety harness) 60 feet above the cemetery. Trusting this kind of work to the wrong contractor could have been disastrous as these 100+ year old gargoyles, carved from limestone, are virtually irreplacable. Call us if you have any questions or thoughts on this type of work for your application.
