Raynal Studios

TESTIMONIALS

"Mr. Raynal undertook an expensive professional restoration of the historic windows in our church during 1997-1999. Among these windows is the Major Rerodos window, given in memory of General Robert E. Lee and Mary Custis Lee, by their families. Mr. Raynal's professional demeanor , human relations skills, technical ability and just plain common sense were an assett to the project from the beginning. In fact, it was a most positive experience dealing with Mr. Raynal in what was a significant financial and historical commitment for our church. Had he not possessed the ability to explain his craft in detail and then successfully perform the tasks he proposed, there could have been much hand wringing on our part. In fact, when unexpected matters arose, we were able to deal with them promptly and professionally-- and we, of course, had several of these from both sides of the job"

" The summer of 1996, Raynal Studios, John and his staff, made a beautiful chapel out of our ordinary church sanctuary. They designed windows for the "Life of Christ" medallions and created several original art windows. John worked with our committee of local folks suggesting, listening and with imagination helping them to prepare a balanced, tasteful, beautiful room that made everyone happy. I am thankful Pines Chapel found and contracted with John Raynal, not only for the quality of his work, but in the process, he became our friend. When vandals destroyed two of the windows before they were dedicated, John rebuilt them at a time when his shop was very busy. Visiting his shop several times, i marveled at the clean, organized work he does on restorations as well as new work. I recommend him and his staff to anyone wishing good results, with joy and fun in the process."

 "We liked John's ability to explain the process in detail and in layman's termswhat is involved in restoration and how you can know you are getting quality work. John is honest, I think he is extremely knowledgeable in his field of work. He has restored all the Stained Glass Windows at Hebron and made new covers and vents for most of the exterior windows. I like John and I think his work can speak for him. John, thank you for all your hard work and patience over the last six years."

  "John and his employees have done restoration of stained glass windows as part of our renovations at Trinity. We have found the people of Raynal studios to be professional, hard working people, who do a wonderful job. We at Trinity would be willing to recommend the Raynal studios service to any who are in need of such work."

  "Parker United Methodist Church at Corapeake,NC, needed restoration of our stained glass work that was installed about 1913. After research and competitive bidding, we chose Raynal Studios as our contractor. The first half of the project was completed in the fall of 1999. I have heard nothing but praise for Mr. Raynal's craftsmanship and care for our building during removal and reinstallation, in compliance with our contract and schedule. I heartily recommend Raynal Studios tp anyone needing stained glass repairs or restoration. I invite you to come and see for yourself."
