At Homewright Handyman, we recently had the privilege of working on a project that truly connects us to our community’s history - the renovation of the Centennial Methodist Church in Attleboro. Our focus was on preserving the integrity and beauty of the church’s wooden pews, an essential element of its 150-year-old charm.
These pews, rich with history and character, posed a unique challenge. The intricate woodworking required meticulous attention and unparalleled craftsmanship, something we take immense pride in offering. Beyond just aesthetics, maintaining the structural integrity of these old benches was crucial. Our experienced carpentry team tackled each pew with care, ensuring they stand the test of time and continue to serve the community for years to come.
What makes this project special isn’t just the restoration of church furniture, but the story each piece holds. We’ve retained several original pews, and they are now available for anyone who wishes to own a piece of local history. Owning one of these benches isn’t just about acquiring furniture - it’s about becoming a caretaker of a piece of heritage that has seen countless moments of unity and reflection.
Throughout the process, we strived to balance preservation with quality enhancements, using our expertise in woodworking and carpentry. It’s projects like these that remind us of the crucial role craftsmanship plays in not just building, but maintaining our shared history. Our team is honored to contribute to the preservation of Attleboro’s rich past while looking forward to future projects with similarly meaningful impacts.
