Resurrection Lutheran Church Stained Glass Restoration | Chicago, Illinois

Stained Glass Repair & Frame Restoration by Inspired Heights

Project Type: Stained Glass Restoration & Painting
Client: Resurrection Lutheran Church
Location: Chicago, Illinois


Project Overview

Inspired Heights was honored to serve Resurrection Lutheran Church in Chicago, Illinois with the restoration of a large stained glass window—a central and meaningful architectural feature of the church.

Over time, the window had experienced deterioration where cement had been applied between the stained glass pieces and the wood frame, creating stress on the structure and affecting both its appearance and integrity. Our team was brought in to carefully restore the window while preserving its beauty and craftsmanship.


Scope of Work

This project required precision and care to ensure the stained glass was protected throughout the process. Our team completed:

  • Careful assessment of the stained glass and surrounding structure
  • Removal and repair of deteriorated cement between glass and frame
  • Stabilization of the window within its wood framework
  • Surface preparation of the wood frame
  • Professional painting of the frame for long-term protection
  • Detailed finishing to maintain the character and appearance of the window

Every step was performed with attention to both structural integrity and visual preservation, ensuring the window remains a lasting part of the church.


The Result

The restoration resulted in:

  • A stabilized and properly supported stained glass window
  • Removal of damaging materials that compromised the structure
  • A freshly painted and protected wood frame
  • A renewed visual centerpiece for the church sanctuary

Resurrection Lutheran Church’s stained glass window now stands restored—continuing to reflect light, beauty, and meaning within the Chicago community.
