Before and After Pictures from Some of our Projects
Project: Invisibly re-attach Venus de Milo's head, repair chips.

Project: Repair and Restore Badly Damaged St. Filomena Statue
This resin statue of St. Filomena
didn't "travel well" from Italy to
Canada.
We were asked to put her back
together--from 88 useable pieces
and dozens of tiny shards into a stronger,
plaster-reinforced rebuilt statue that has now been
completed and is installed inside St. Clement Parish at St. Anne Church in Ottawa.
Project: Restore fire-damaged Sacred Heart statue
Project: Restore aged Statue Pedestals
We were commissioned to refurbish two damaged pedestals, and to inject new life from their plain cream colour to a vibrant blend of faux marbles. This was part of a very major restoration project at Saint Joseph Church in Orleans.

Project: Repair Vandalized Stations of the Cross

Project: Repair Damaged Arm of life-sized Crucifix at Saint Patrick Basilica
This beloved crucifix was damaged and Christ's right arm fell to the marble floor and was smashed into more than 60 pieces. Parts of the arm, wrist and forearm were re-sculpted, including musculature and veins, then re-painted and re-attached to a re-built shoulder on the crucifix.

Project: Restoration of Worn Stations of the Cross, Orleans
We were entrusted with restoring Stations of the Cross at St. Joseph Church in Orleans. There were scores of deep cracks, some broken pieces, and damaged framing. We added new structural plaster to the back, then meticulously refinished and restored each Station to its original beauty.
Project: Restoration of Angels from a cemetery marker
Decades of weathering had left their mark in the form of moss, algae and lichen growth.
Headstone stain removal and hand re-painting
Project: Redesign church interior and Sanctuary at Holy Rosary Parish
Designed by Pauline Furmanczyk Winogron, the church interior - and most notably the Sanctuary - were tastefully refreshed with careful attention to the dignity and original design of the church. Stations of the Cross, the Sanctuary ornamentation and numerous statues were refurbished. Construction was completed under the direction of Ron Colautti.
Project: Repair damaged ivory crucifix for Pope Francis' Apostolic Nuncio to Canada
This antique crucifix belonging to the Papal Nuncio, H.E. The Most Rev. Luigi Bonazzi was extensively damaged in a fall. The wood of the cross broke, and with it, the left arm of Christ. The corpus is made of ivory and showed natural patina aging, but also some unsightly staining. Fully restored by hand, the beautiful crucifix was returned to the nunciature in Canada's Capital.
