Holy Trinity AME Church
Rock Hall, MD
The congregation is excited about and impressed with the new carpet. It adds class to the appearance of our edifice. The installers were helpful and knowledgeable about the required flooring needed to make certain the carpet would lay flat and not wrinkle in the future. Thank you so much for a professional job.

Shrewsbury, PA
The upholstering work was very good. The seats are really comfortable. I had a lot of comments
about how nice they look and also they are comfortable too. I wish I had suggested it long
before this time. But they are very nice.
Nice meeting you and your Dad. God Bless You. Have a good day.

Auburn Road Presbyterian Church
Venice, FL
I am mindful of the Biblical text: "I was glad when they said unto me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord.'" (Psalm 122:1) Thanks to the care and quality of your labors, our sanctuary has taken on richer and deeper hues. A quiet and dignified beauty adorns our way as we pass through the doors to take our places amidst God's saints gathered to worship Him.
There is a longing in the hearts of God's people for a sacred or holy "space" in this world. Although we understand that we are God's workmanship and His temple, to have a beautiful context or setting in which to worship Him seems consistent with the majesty of His Being. The congregation of Auburn Road Presbyterian Church is very thankful for what God has given us by way of such a setting.
Obviously, we are grateful to Church Interiors for your care and understanding in seeking to accomplish what we desired. We are very pleased with the results of your work and each Sunday since its completion, we note the quiet beauty once again.
Writing in behalf of our entire congregation, we recommend you for your attention to detail, quality of product, our concerns, follow-up, and the high level of skill your contractors brought to their work. We didn't miss a Sunday service through the three week period of renovation. We also want to commend to you the faithful and understanding role of Mike Nowlin. He was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning of our research.
Thanks again,
Dwight L. Dolby, Pastor

Dear Church Interiors,

Greg,
The job is finished, and the result is really beautiful! The fabric was a perfect choice for color and print. Lamar and his crew demonstrated excellent workmanship. I don't know what kind of a schedule they imposed on themselves to get done this quickly after the foam delay, but everyone here connected to the project is thrilled. We'll get the sanctuary re-assembled for Sunday and look forward to everyone seeing the new decor.
With the pews looking so wonderful, it's even more obvious that we need to settle the chancel chair issue. Those shiny chrome chairs stick out like sore thumbs. That will be my priority now that the pews are done and people will be back from their travels. I will keep you posted.
Thank you for all your assistance in getting us through this major event. I'll be in touch.

Greg and Gary,
Thank you for the completed work at McLean Presbyterian Church. It was a pleasure to work with Gary and his very skilled crew of Jeremy, Chad, Dan, and Omar. The results were outstanding. I've included pictures of the finished work on the organ chamber and the front of the sound booth.
Since we finished on Saturday, the sanctuary was back to normal for our services yesterday morning. So, I was curious about the reactions I'd see or hear. People either thought there had been a delay in starting the work and nothing had been done yet, or the results of the completed work were transparent to them. A few that knew the work had been completed were very happy with the results, with at least one comment that the fabric instead of the plywood on the face of the organ chamber was a richer appearance.
I sent the same two pictures to Walker Technical. John Carpenter, the president, was delighted with the results. And, we're all looking forward to next Monday with the installation of the new organ and hearing it with the changes that you made for us.
Best wishes and my gratitude for a great job,
Dick Osborne

I wanted to thank you for all your work in making our organ dedication this past Sunday a truly meaningful experience for our members and guests.
Our organ task force and renovation committee sincerely appreciates your attention to detail as well as the quality of workmanship that was performed by all of the contractors representing Church Interiors. This was a major undertaking to completely renovate our sanctuary at the same time of the rebuilding of our pipe organ. Your ability to coordinate in a timely manner all of the work performed enabled us to minimize the time we were out of our sanctuary.
We have had so many compliments about the beautiful floors, the painting, pew cushions, and kneelers. As you remember we had some plaster issues which were addressed very adequately by the contractor representing Church Interiors. Your capability of moving our pews to the Family Life Center during the renovation helped us to enhance our worship while we were out of the sanctuary.
In closing, it meant a lot to me personally that you joined us in worship on this, our special day. If you should ever have the desire to show a prospective customer the work that you did in our sanctuary, I would be very proud to show them.
Sincerely,
C. Frederick Ward

St. Paul's Episcopal Church
Richmond, Virginia
January 29, 2009
On behalf of St. Paul's Episcopal Church I want to thank you for the superb job you did in helping us to renovate the church pews and flooring. A project of this scope and magnitude in a church facility of our age and historical significance is never easy! The expertise of your installers, their willingness to work within the constraints of regular Sunday services and the added interruptions due to several funerals, was nothing short of miraculous.
Because of their fine craftsmanship, the carpet looks wonderful, the pews look great, and they are once again structurally sound. The comments from our members have been complimentary. Perhaps the highest form of praise was from the many individuals who said the project was "seamless and unnoticeable" until it was completed.
Again, thank you for your role in this important project.
Blessings,

Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church

Thank you for your Company's part in making the renovation of our Chapel a great success. We especially want to point out the outstanding design contributions and support services which your Sales Representative, Ms. Stacie Reeves, provided us during the planning and execution of our project.
She helped us choose seating, lighting, and especially color choices that created the simple and (we think) elegant look and function of our newly redone Chapel. St. Andrew's parishioners are really pleased and proud of the finished space!
An extraordinary service Stacie provided was her arranging for our Facilities Team to see a custom-designed chair from one of your church projects in Asheville, NC. That chair design crystallized our team's thinking, and became the "just right," traditional look we wanted for the little chapel.
We recognize Church Interiors' professional service and quality products as key factors in the satisfactory completion of our beautifully updated chapel.
Very truly yours,
J. Reid Gaskins for the
St. Andrew's Facilities Committee

Hickory Neck Church
Toano, Virginia

Dear Friend of Hickory Neck:
On behalf of the Wardens, Vestry, and people of Hickory Neck Episcopal Church, thank you for the part you played in the recent restoration of our historic chapel. We had a full Sunday of worship in there just last week, with over 250 parishioners spread across five services. People were simply raving about how good it looked. Their response was more enthusiastic than we could have hoped, and I believe their joy is largely due to your diligent efforts and fine craftsmanship.
At our 11:15 Eucharist, a pillar of the parish rose during announcement time. This is a gentleman who has worshipped at Hickory Neck for over twenty years. He has served in the senior elected lay position, Senior Warden, at least twice. With tears in his eyes, he declared that he had never seen the chapel more beautiful, and the congregation burst out in applause.
With your generous help, we have not only restored a historical site to peak structural integrity, functionality and aesthetic appeal. We have polished to gem-like status a place deeply seasoned with the prayers of countless thousands; a space once again open for the prayers of any who seek its sanctuary.
At your convenience, please stop by to see the completed restoration. It is always open, and especially for you.
Peace,
The Very Reverend Michael L. Delk
Rector and Dean of the Jamestown Convocation

Thanks so much for the piano cushion. It came yesterday and fit beautifully. Thanks also for the button kit just in case one of them pops off.
We are very pleased with the cushions and they already look like they
have always been there. Our next goal is carpet to match!
We are getting nice comments from people not only on the comfort of the
cushions but on the quality.
Our dear friend Marge and her husband, who made them possible upon her
death, would have been very proud. We had a lovely dedication service
for them and her family was able to be there to share our joy. Her
younger sister even cam all the way from Freemont, Ohio to be there.
We took our time making a choice on where to have them made and we all
feel the choice was the correct one.
Thanks again for your lovely work, and for your extra caring to send the
piano cushion.
The congregation of Riverside Church will be enjoying them for years to
come.
May God continue to bless your business and your families.
Sincerely,
Pat Ready

you for your honesty. We recently received a refund check from your company that we did not know we were due. With this money we were able

Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church
Cincinnati, OH
What a profound, professional, well done job! We as members of The
Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church of Cincinnati, Ohio are excited and
amazed at our new look. Each pew, all chancel furniture, tithe box and
communion table represents excellence in workmanship.
Mr. Craig Michie of Church Interiors presented your company to us to
repair and refurbished our church furniture. He further explained that
we would be completely satisfied with your work and an excellent job
will be done. How right he was and is!
On May 21, 2007, your employees came to our church to remove stained
colored pews, pews with missing bookracks and communion cup holders and
some pews were coming apart. An eight week return date was given. On
July 21, 2007 our pews returned. Steve Layton and Brian Treadway, two
extremely professional installers/assemblers started the tedious process
of reassembling the furniture. We were truly astonished how beautiful
each piece is.
We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the integrity of Church Interiors
and Tennessee Valley Church Furniture. An overpayment was made and when
the company became aware of the overpayment, we were notified and
compensated for the amount immediately.
We are completely satisfied with your workmanship, timeliness,
professionalism, customer service and above all, your integrity. We
would excitedly recommend your company to anyone in need of your
service. Thank you for a job well done.
Sincerely,
Pastor Sherwin Q. Ealy

Thanks for your response to our stained glass project questions. It was right
on target. The review process is underway and should be completed by mid March.
At our Building Committee meeting last night continued appreciation for your
kindness during our sanctuary renovations a few years ago was expressed. You
may recall that you provided a decorator to help with the selection of paint
colors for the project. Not only did the project turn out well, but it saved us
from weeks of haggling over the paint. We are currently getting requests to
paint classrooms and other areas and again need assistance. We would like to
have one of your designers or decorators develop a basic color pallet for us
that would give interested parties some choices, but with limits. The pallet
would
become the standard for the entire facility and guide us on carpet and paint
selections in the future. I would anticipate a one-day visit to Shelby to
review our current situation followed by a second visit to
present the recommendations.
Please have someone contact me with a budget price for this service and some
dates that would be suitable for the initial visit.
Thanks,
Lacy Ballard

I wanted to offer our sincere thanks to your staff and you for the
excellent work and communication during our recent renovation. Gene
Carter, Rick Ball, Rebecca Scherbak and especially Malcolm Skipper were
extremely professional and helpful during this process.
As you know all too well, our concept began more than five year ago, but
as the project gathered momentum you were always available to make
presentations, answer questions and make changes as needed. Our
timeline was met and the project finished very close to budget.
Please feel free to provide Charles Bauman or my name to any clients or

North Wilkesboro Presbyterian Church North Wilkesboro, NC What a pleasure to work with you and your Church Interiors staff once again! We at North Wilkesboro Presbyterian are 110% satisfied with our sanctuary renovation. Our project was extensive, involving the removal and reconstruction of our entire chancel area, the raising of our balcony ceiling to accommodate our new organ pipes, painting and light refinishing throughout, new stained glass windows, and new carpeting and pew cushions. Your audio and video division also installed our new sound system. Your team coordinated all of our efforts and did a super job! We especially appreciated: Your personal oversight.
Your regular visits and follow up phone calls were crucial to our staying on track. Your eye for detail also caught small flaws and matters that needed attention, often before we saw them. Your company's timeliness. You promised us in January that our sanctuary would be completed on June 25, 2006. We held our first service on that exact date. Your subcontractors' courtesy. Every Church Interiors worker treated our church as if it were their church. They were polite to our members, generous with their time in answering questions, and they quite obviously took pride in their work. Your reasonable work. You were considerably more affordable than our other bidders, yet your results were top quality. If we undertake another project, you will be our contractor of choice. I encourage you to use this letter, as well as any photographs of our project, to demonstrate to others of the quality of your company's craftsmanship and service. As to the results of our project, what can I say? In addition to beautifying our place of worship, our attendance is up, our members are excited, stewardship has grown in response to our new energy, and our ministry is blessed with new opportunities and new challenges. Thank you for a completely positive experience, and please share our gratitude with your entire staff. Yours in Grace and Gratitude, Benton J. Trawick, Pastor

On behalf of the Cobham Park Baptist Church, I wish to thank you and the
Church Interiors "crew" for the wonderful job you did with our
recent renovation. I can honestly say that it exceeded our expectations.
A number of people from other churches have already seen it and they are
as awed as are we. I thank you again for the help provided by you, the
staff of Church Interiors, and, of course, the craftsmen who did the work.
They all did their jobs well, and for that we are extremely grateful.

On behalf of the trustees of the Round Valley UMC, it is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for your company
Our sanctuary has been painted and restored to a condition, which greatly enhances our worship experience. Architectural features which were lost under years of white paint and dirt are now refreshed and attractive.
The response from the congregation has been uniform and unanimous. "Wow", "Great Job" and "Fantastic" are a few of the responses that sum up our satisfaction.
From a practical stand point, this was a major undertaking for
our church, and we had concerns about hidden costs, time frame,
worship disruption, ect. Your company completed the work on time
and on budget. Your workers were friendly, respectful and eager
to answer our questions and address our concerns.
Please feel free to use us as a reference. On behalf of the trustees, thank you for a job well done.

It has been my pleasure to work with Jerry O'Quinn for the least few months in preparing to pad our pews at church. It is impossible to tell you how pleased we are with the entire project. From the beginning, until today when Rick Zimmerman completed the pews, it has been a joy!

September 2, 2004
The Monticello Baptist Church has now come to the close of our renovation project with Church Interiors. In closing out this project, as chairman, I would like to praise and thank you and your company for a splendid job.
Specifically, there are some individuals that need to be acknowledged. Rudy Swain, General Manager, was a delight. Rudy has a great mind for seeing that a job is done with good taste and exceptional quality. Rudy was there to help us make some difficult decisions and we appreciate his expertise. Dave Barrows, General Construction Foreman, was the individual that saw the job from start to completion and made sure all the little things were taken care of… Jerry West, Painting Foreman, did whatever we asked, changing colors numerous times to make sure we were pleased… Rodney Gibson, installer of carpet, tile and granite, was most willing to do whatever we asked. We were extremely pleased with his work and willingness to get the job done. Chuck Wicker, salesperson and Project Manager, made a great first impression and strong presentation which influenced us to choose Church Interiors for our project. In many conversations with Chuck, he understood our position and worked to make sure we were pleased with the end result. Megan our interior designer worked with Chuck in making sure that the colors blended together in a very tasteful manner. There are so many others that played a vital role and deserve to be mentioned by name.
In closing, I congratulate you, your company and co-workers for being professional, caring and making sure that we were pleased. May God bless your company as you seek to work with other companies.
Yours truly,
Thurman L. Willis, Jr.

Just a note to say "Thank You" for the wonderful job that Church Interiors did on our remodeling project. From the moment Church Interiors men arrived, I knew we were in competent hands.
Troy Bartell and his men did a superb job in tearing out the platform and other areas that needed to be replaced. When it was time to rebuild and replace the platform, baptistry, etc., they were meticulous in their building process. These men are some of the finest and most skilled workers I have ever seen.
Rick Bertrand and his men did a marvelous job in wall preparation and painting. They went above and beyond what could ever be expected. Rick said to me on several occasions. "Pastor, before we leave here, we want you to be totally satisfied." What amazed me and our men is that he meant it! Rick made sure that we were to have a superior job. He and his men gave us a finished product that leaves our auditorium absolutely beautiful.
The pews and pulpit furniture are absolutely beautiful. Everything that Church Interiors has been contracted to do - they did with the highest quality material, workmanship, and integrity.
I might also add that Mr. Dave Henderson is an excellent representative for Church Interiors. He is professional in every sense of the word, and continually did his best to make sure that everything ran smoothly.
I want to thank everyone at Church Interiors for their assistance in making a difficult renovation job much less stressful, due to their professionalism. We have been thrilled with each aspect of this restoration process.

It was a pleasure to work with Church Interiors and your staff in our recent endeavors to upgrade the carpet and pews in our church.
On behalf of our church, we especially want to thank the carpet installer and pew upholstery crew for their assistance with this project. They put forth great effort in helping us to overcome some of the challenges we encountered during this project. We were very pleased with their workmanship and the professional manner they displayed while working with us.
It was a pleasure to work with you and thanks for a job well done. We are truly enjoying worshiping in our newly renovated facility.
Jean C. Keck, Secretary
First United Methodist Church, Lake Wales, FL January 11, 2003
On behalf of the entire congregation of the First United Methodist Church of Lake Wales, Florida, I wish to express immense and sincere gratitude to you and the entire Church Interiors, Inc. organization for your conscientious and professional management of the recent renovation of our sanctuary. You may now add our church to the growing list of your satisfied clients and be assured our church will enthusiastically endorse your company to anyone that may request references to your previous customers.
Church Interiors, Inc., came highly recommended to our church, and it is now obvious that your reputation has been confirmed and even further embellished in the satisfaction of our entire congregation. The truth be known, our Sanctuary's beauty now surpasses every expectation that we held when we envisioned its renovation. Your sensitivity toward maintaining the architectural integrity and traditional Spanish Mission features of our fifty year old facility, while simultaneously modernizing its utility, was unique in this modern era of "let's just tear it down and build something all together new and different".
In addition, to your utilizing quality building materials and employing subcontractors with superb craftsmen, the sixteen week working relationship between your company and our church was both harmonious and gratifying. The "icing on the cake" was consummated when the Sanctuary renovation was completed ahead of schedule and within its allocated cost.
May God bless you and your unique company and continue to inspire your dedication to dutifully create magnificent sanctuaries for His glory and worship.
Respectfully,
Preston Troutman, Chairman
Board of Trustees
Maplesville Baptist Church, Maplesville, AL, September 8, 2003
"Everyone at Church Interiors was great to work with. I wanted us to deal with good people who would be genuinely concerned about their work and who would deal with us honestly. Sonny Holleman was a wonderful salesperson who was great about visiting the site and staying informed about the work even after he had sold the job. Rick made sure that his crew did the job right. When it came to something as important as our sanctuary, we wanted to make sure that we had professionals doing the job. And, we sure are glad that we did! The before and after pictures are amazing. Our church has grown in just the eight months we have been in our renovated sanctuary because people want to be a part of a church that is willing to move forward. I would recommend Church Interiors to any church who is considering the renovation of their sanctuary."

Pastor of Maplesville Baptist Church
All Saints’ Memorial Church, Navesink, NJ, September 11, 2003
It is hard to believe that we accepted your proposal to restore the pews in All Saints’ Memorial Church on July 18, and as of Sunday, September 6, the pews have been refinished and installed. In addition, the carpeting we chose with you has also been installed. As you know, we took this opportunity to completely paint the inside of the church and to refinish the wainscoting. The parishioners are delighted with their beautiful “new” church. I have no idea what the pews looked like in 1864, but I am sure that they look better now than they did 139 years ago.
Please also know that the workmen from the refinishing facility and those who installed the carpet were professional and a pleasure to work with. Steve was quite knowledgeable about the pews in this National Historic Landmark building and made several suggestions, which we accepted.
Thank you, Dave, for making this large project a pleasant one.
Patricia S. Korth
Junior Warden
Northside Church of Christ, Nashville, TN, September 29,2003
I found Church Interiors, Inc. on the internet and included them in our
search for a company that could help us renovate our outdated facilities.
After much research, and many meetings, we decided to go with Church
Interiors as our contractor. Boy, are we glad we made that decision!
Sonny Holleman and Rick Bertrand are to be commended for the fine job they
did for us. Their craftsmanship and creative thinking was a wonderful
surprise for us. With new pews, carpet, windows, furniture, bathrooms,
stairs, walls, paint, doors, lights, and all the rest, we discovered the
perfect blend of traditional and modern church designs. The result is one
of the most beautiful worship centers I've ever seen.... and that's what
others are telling us also!
Thank you to all who played a part in our project. If we ever need some
more work to be done, we'll know who to call! Thank you and God
bless you

I wish to commend Church Interiors, Inc. for the very fine work done here in renovating the sanctuary at First Presbyterian Church. This project, including painting and changes made in the chancel area, resulted in a newly refurbished, strikingly beautiful and functional sanctuary that should serve this congregation for some time.

I would like to thank you for all your help in making my job easier with picking out the colors for the carpeting and the pews. The combination is just beautiful. Your kindness was greatly appreciated. The carpet installers and the upholsterers were just fantastic, patient, courteous and understanding. It was a pleasure working with them.

We are delighted with our beautiful pews and carpet! We continue to hear comments from members and attendees about the transformation of our church with these beautiful changes. The pews are comfortable as well as lovely, and the elegant carpet enhances the whole project while being practical and functional at the same time. It is with much gratitude and appreciation that we thank you for your fine work!

"I wish to thank you for the great job the painters did on our chapel. We have received many compliments from the congregation, especially from those who attend the chapel service."
Roseann G. Well
Church Business Administrator
First Reformed Church of Lansing, IL December 27, 1990
On behalf of the church, I would like to express our sincere and deep felt appreciation for your contribution to our recent sanctuary restoration project.
As we look back at all the meetings with contractors, bid reviews, and working out of the details, we marvel at how such a large project was completed with virtually no serious conflicts or set backs. This fact is surely a tribute to those members of your company and the cooperative efforts shown to our Building Commissioners in bringing the remodeling ideas to a reality.
Thanks to all those involved in our three month renovation, which called for a very tight time sequence for the various trades to get in, complete their work with quality and detail, and then make way for the next trade; it came in by the deadline and under budget.
Jerry Zeldenrust, Secretary
Bethany Baptist Church, Lexington, GA February 6, 1987

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Our church pew cushions look so much better since they have been recovered. I certainly appreciate your standing behind your product. That kind of service will cause us to return to you for further needs and recommend you to others.
Your craftspeople were timely with their arrival and were in and out before I was able to thank them for their work. They did an excellent job and are to be commended.
I appreciate your willingness to work with us to have this done before our This Is Christmas presentation. Everything worked beautifully for us.

We at First Presbyterian Church want to take this opportunity to thank you and your company for the major role you have played in the renovation of our 97 year old sanctuary. We are grateful for the quality of the work performed and the dedication of those involved.
Thank you for your part in helping one of Rock Hill's great old architectural "jewels" shine with beauty once again.
Grace and Peace,

This is just a note to express our appreciation for the service your company has provided our church. Throughout our affiliation with each of your company's representatives we have been impressed with the personal care shown to us.
We have been especially grateful to the diligence, warmth and courtesy of the carpet crew. The crew chief and their men have literally bent over backwards to accommodate the "particulars" in preferences we have had throughout the week of carpet installation. Their recommendations and their experience were quite impressive as the week unfolded. At so many different points, it became apparent that they were going the extra mile to ensure a superb quality in their installation. Indeed, it was as if they were members of our own church. In all, their professionalism itself commends your company and was an appropriate compliment to the sales and office contracts we have had with your company.
Please accept our deepest gratitude for helping us to accomplish all that has taken place in beautifying our church.
Rev. Stephen C. Lovelady
Sunnyside Baptist Church, Toccoa, GA July 18, 1986
This letter is to express our appreciation to you and the men who installed the pads on our pews. The men did an excellent job and we are well pleased with the service. It is a pleasure to do business with people who take pride in their work.

Rising high, steeples add the crowning touch
By Jane Paige
Special to the Recorder
“Ron Belton is one of the founders of Church Interiors Inc. in High Point. The company is a design-build general contractor specializing in renovations. It has been involved in more than 7,000 partial or complete renovations over the past 23 years.
"Many churches want to restore their old pews and place them in the new sanctuary," said Belton. "We meet with the church building committee and prepare a preliminary study of the work at the church. This can include renovating the pews, installing carpet and painting."
Church Interiors offers a wide variety of services ranging from complete turnkey jobs to individual renovation projects. The company also sells chairs for use in churches, stained glass windows and other accessories.
"For many churches it is hard to find a general contractor that will come in and do big renovations jobs," Belton said. "We usually work with the church to update what they have in that facility."! “
