Spire & Cupola Restoration & Repairs

Spires are traditionally white, which is a carryover from the American colonial times when wood and labor were plentiful, says the Religious Products News website. Metal was scarce in the early colonies, but wood was abundant. Wooden structures typically were whitewashed for protection, along with any cornice or trimmings. This same tradition applied to church towers. The biggest drawback of wooden church steeples was that they became weather-beaten over time. But labor was easily available and affordable to the early American settlers, and church congregations could afford the frequent maintenance on their wooden spires and cupolas.

Our Church Steeple Restoration Project by CIS Steeplejack

What do our clients say about us?I wanted to personally and sincerely thank you for the outstanding craftsmanship CIS Steeplejacks did to restore our 56 year old tower/spire and cupola. The tower at Parma-South was originally designed in 1930 as a master plan for a new Presbyterian Church building in Parma Heights, OH. The tower "Church Steeple" was architecturally inspired from "North Church" in Boston. Though not constructed until the entire Tower and Sanctuary were built in 1951, it is one that nearly seems historic in the western suburbs of Cleveland. Built to last with heavy I-beams and internal construction, the exterior colonial woodwork, pillars, balustrades and general "gingerbread" is of wood that gets weather beaten in the Cleveland winds, weather, snow and sun.

Though it has been maintained and painted over the years, CIS Steeplejack recommendations and keen eye for detail and knowledge of what needed to be done was the most positive thing I've heard and seen in many years as the chairperson of our Properties Committee. My knowledge of the Steeple, its make-up, its history and maintenance goes back 30 years. It was refreshing to not only talk to someone who knows what to do, but see the work first hand being done step-by-step as you took me and anyone up to see the progress. Nothing was disguised or hidden. In the situation of steeple repairs, a quick fix would be easy to hide. This sure was not the case at Parma-South!

In architecture, a cupola (pronounced /ˈkjuːpələ/) is a small, most-often dome -like structure, on top of a building. Often used to provide a lookout or to admit light and air, it usually crowns a larger roof or dome.The word derives, via Italian, from the lower Latin cupula (classical latin cupella from the greek κύπελλον kupellon) small cup (Latin cupa) indicating a vault resembling an upside down cup. Cupolas often appear as small buildings in their own right. They often serve as a belfry, lantern, or belvedere above a main roof. In other cases they may crown a tower, spire, or turret. The chhatri, seen in Indian architecture, fits the definition of a cupola when it is used atop a larger structure.

The cupola is a development of the oculus, an ancient device found in roman architecture, but with the cupola being weatherproof it is superior for the wetter climates of northern Europe, which were influential during the Renaissance.
