The restoration of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in downtown Atlanta was a particularly rewarding project. This handsome structure is one of Atlanta's oldest churches. The condition of the pine floors in the nave section of the church presented us with a daunting challenge. With all the pews removed, layers of accumulated finishes were carefully lifted off the floor to reveal the aged, regal look that only old quarter sawed heart pine can achieve. The combination of the aged wood, brick and stone combine to create an extremely handsome interior. A clear oil base sealer was applied over the raw wood to bring out the aged beauty of this regal wood. The floors were then finished off with protective coatings that will ensure many years of service with very little maintenance.
