Montalbano Majestic International

Pew Restoration Process

At Montalbano Majestic Furniture Factory, we truly value the beauty of existing church fixtures and believe in preserving that beauty in each step of the restoration process. Our refinishing and restoration process begins with dismantling pews from the church, approximately one third at a time. We then remove the old finish completely by hand - no dip tanks are used! Pews are then taken apart and repaired, patched, sanded, reglued, and reinforced. All missing carvings, parts, and veneer work are created by hand to match the originals.
Next the pews undergo a 12-step fine furniture finishing process in a color of your choice - we use twice the amount of finish as anyone else! All steps of the refinishing process are performed in our factory spray booths to ensure a clean and smooth surface and fine finish. The last step is to apply two coats of a clear nitro polyurethane lacquer to give the pews a lasting beautiful look.
Our extensive restoration and refinishing process results in a product of remarkable quality and fine craftsmanship second to none.
