The Terhaar CARE Program
More Than Words, We Live Our Commitment to the Faith Community
That’s why we offer the Terhaar CARE Program—an industry-leading, comprehensive stained glass assessment and care plan—completely free to churches ($2,500 value). Unlike anything else available, this program ensures your stained glass is expertly documented, protected, and thoughtfully planned for today and generations to come, regardless of whether you need immediate repairs or choose to work with us.
While other studios may offer free inspections and quotes just before or after problems arise, no one matches the depth and value of the Terhaar CARE Program. It’s a true stewardship resource designed to empower your congregation with peace of mind, clear long-term guidance, and the ability to proactively align budgets and minimize disruption—reflecting our shared larger mission of service and preservation.
Why Completing a Terhaar CARE Plan Matters
Your stained glass windows are more than just beautiful works of art—they are often among your congregation’s most valuable and irreplaceable assets. Yet too often, we’re called in after a storm, fire, or unexpected damage only to find there’s no restoration history, no photographs, no documentation, and no preservation plan in place.
Even when stained glass appears stable, deterioration can be silently advancing. Once structural integrity begins to fail, damage can accelerate rapidly—leaving church leaders without time or resources to respond effectively.
In many cases, deferred maintenance, poorly installed protective glass, or no protection at all has compounded the problem. What could have been a planned, affordable repair becomes a costly, urgent, and highly disruptive project—impacting church services and community life.
Without comprehensive documentation and a proactive care plan, churches face real and avoidable risks:
- Underinsurance
- Unexpected Emergency Costs
- Avoidable Damage and Deterioration
- Loss of Priceless Stained Glass Heritage
The Terhaar CARE Program gives you the insight, documentation, and planning support you need to protect your windows—and your legacy—for generations to come.
