Churches, schools, and homeowners alike come to us here at Custom Stained Glass wondering what their stained glass is worth. This is a fair question because many stained glass windows are worth money due to age, artist or historical value. While these windows may have increased in monetary value over the years, the fact of the matter is–most are in need of restoration. And, whatever the window may be worth now–fully restored it will be worth more.
How Does Restoring Stained Glass Increase Its Value?
The idea behind restoring a stained glass window is that stained glass, unlike many antiques, is definitely worth more after it has been restored. With typical antique restoration is not always a good idea. The state it is in untouched is often more desirable than a renewed one. The issue with stained glass windows is–the risk of losing them completely due to deterioration is much higher than the risk of having them restored. Windows built over 80 years ago were only built to last about 80-100 years–therefore the longer the restoration the neglected–the more the windows could lose value. The issue then becomes not if they should be restored but by who. Because ultimately it is a skilled restoration company that will increase their value through a job well done.
