Our Lady of Victory Church in Chicago

National Award Winner

"After a roofing project in 1996 caught the contractor off guard and water damaged the inside of the Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church, Fortune & Associates was called upon to fix the situation. Since the insurance company would not reimburse a complete restoration of the entire ceiling, their expertise was required as they faced the challenge of graining, stenciling, glazing and custom color matching to exactly match areas that had not been painted in 40 years." - PDCA
