This customer was a church property. They had several vestibules on the propety which were completely unusable due to extensive water damage. It was a real shame that such a beautiful property was nearly beyond repair… but we fixed them. The rennovation was extensive, as you can see from the BEFORE and AFTER photos below.

This customer needed a food panty for multiple cooking groups within thier church. They had previously been using a giant collection of those black plastic “tube and waffle” style portable shelving units, which were bucking under the weight of all the food. Additionally, food from the various groups was getting all mixed up, causing disputes over ownership within the groups.
Existing pantry had only one shelf
There were only a few lower locking cabinets
The rest of the shelving was flimsy plastic stackable storage
The solution was clear: floor to ceiling, strudy wooden cabinets for all… with locks! We chose to use birch plywood which was both attractive and durable. We built cabinets all the way to the ceiling, with as many shelves as possible. Click on any of these thumbnails for details.
Lots of shelves…
… all the way to the ceiling!
Putting on cabinet doors
More cabinet doors and a nice gloss finish
Finished!
Each unit would have its own lock and belong to an individual cooking group. We used brass handles, locks and name plates for a nice finsihing touch. Now there is tons of storage, its looks beautiful and organized with no more conflicts over who owns what.
The garage behind Divine Mercy church in Blackstone MA was in need of serious repair. It hadn’t been maintained in years. The paint was peeling, trim was rotting and the cupulo on top was rotting off. Here is what we did (be sure to check out the Before and After photos!):
• Power washed entire garage.
• Remove bad wood, trim, etc. with all cracks and seams caulked and primed.
• Then the entire building was primed with stain killer.
• Applied two coats of finish paint.
• The cupula was rotted, leaking and beyond repair so it was removed. Bad lumber replaced, new sheeting and shingles were installed.

Removed Rotten Cupola
The garage had a rotten cupola that the customer did not want replaced, so it was removed. The resulting hole in the roof was repaired, and re-shingled.

Re-shingled as close to existing shingle pattern as possible
