How Pro Service Builders Responded
Our first task was to protect the rest of the property and prevent injuries. We started by quickly securing the site. In this case, we shored up buckled steel walls, prevented the roof from further cave in, and began cleaning the ash and burnt debris.
With that accomplished, Pro Service Builders began the restoration process. We did this while also keeping the central building safe for use by the congregation. This way, the church could continue their regular services during the reconstruction. To achieve this, we worked with city officials to cordon off the education wing and provide a certificate of occupancy for the central building.
The first phase of the restoration project included repair and replacement of damaged air conditioning systems, lights, and wiring in the education wing. Upon investigation, we discovered the electrical wiring was outdated and in bad condition, primarily due to age and various renovation projects over the years. While completing electrical upgrades and repairs, Pro Service Builders worked with church leaders and insurance agents to minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
Following restoration of the education wing, our team moved on to the gym, which sustained far more damage – including severe smoke damage behind 4-inch plaster walls. In fact, damage was so extensive that it required almost a complete gutting and restoration.

Pro Service Builders Saved Both Time and Money
Pro Service Builders’ expertise means that we can recommend upgrades that save money and ensure the renovated space meets your current needs. And our ability to do so certainly helped save Central Christian Church time and money. We stayed on time and under budget, saving Central Church of Christ over $1 million while completing the restoration project in one-and-a-half years – which is about one year faster than competing contractors’ estimates.
Throughout the project, our goal was to meet the current needs of the church and make upgrades wherever possible. With that in mind, we worked closely with church leaders to help them prioritize where to invest in upgrades and where to do basic restorations.
