Stained glass restored by Bovard Studio for St. Peter Catholic Church in St. Charles, MO
We are grateful for the continued support and following during a challenging year. Our clients invest in the history and legacy of stained glass, allowing our studio to continue creating and repairing stained glass windows across the nation. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday.
A passion for preservation led us to a monumental project this year with the skylight restoration at Surrogate’s Courthouse in New York. The building is now a nominee for Best Restoration of 2020 in Untapped New York’s Best of New York Awards.

The before and after photos at First Presbyterian Church in Hastings, NE show how old window coverings can yellow over time, obscuring the brilliance of the stained glass. We installed our 1400 Series frames on 80 windows, transforming the quality of the exterior and interior experience of these beautiful windows. In addition, we built a new leaded stained glass rose window and frame to complement style of existing windows.
Bovard Studio restored the richly patterned stained glass windows at Grace Church Cathedral in Charleston, SC. Our 3750 frame with custom cladding was custom made for their prominent window at the front of the cathedral. These historic windows display a range of American manufactured stained glass from 1912-1941. 30 gothic windows were restored, including several full re-leaded windows. Our 1430S Series protective coverings with patented Precision Flow® ventilation system will keep them shining for generations to come. More about the symbolism and narratives of these beautiful windows can be found at gracechurchcharleston.org/stained-glass.
Bovard studio breathed new life into the amazing stained glass windows of The Episcopal Church of Heavenly Rest in Abilene, TX last August. 68 gothic windows were restored. With the majority of Bovard projects, we designed, fabricated, and installed our patented Precision Flow® ventilation system and protective covering for all windows.
Bovard Studio is the recent recipient of the 2020 ABC Connecticut Excellence in Construction Awards, First Place Institutional for our work at Church of St. Michael the Archangel, Pawcatuck, CT. This project took several years to complete and included resizing and restoring St Michael’s beautiful medallion windows as well as fashioning two completely new rose windows, including custom frames. We are pleased to preserve our clients stained glass windows for their new facility and aid in this remarkable transition.
Bovard Studio can work with all forms and styles of stained glass. Look at these colorfully painted stained glass pieces for a custom Icon style window that we made in 2006. The artwork is based on the significant San Damiano Cross from the 12th century.
