Few architectural elements are as iconic and recognizable as a church steeple. But despite their beauty and historic value, steeples are constantly exposed to the harshest elements. High winds, hailstorms, and prolonged UV exposure can weaken materials over time, while heavy rain and humidity can lead to mold and mildew.
Add in the fact that steeples are often decades old, and it becomes clear why they require specialized care. Whether you’re restoring a damaged steeple, replacing one that’s beyond repair, or maintaining a custom-designed structure, it’s critical to work with a contractor who understands the unique challenges of steeple construction and preservation.
Steeple Maintenance
Just like the roof, a church steeple needs regular inspection and upkeep to remain safe and structurally sound. After a major storm, it’s important to check for damage—steeples can sustain cracks, dents, or water infiltration from hail, heavy winds, and driving rain. Even if a storm seems minor, unseen damage can lead to bigger problems over time.
Age plays a major factor in a steeple’s condition. If your steeple is more than 15–20 years old, it’s wise to schedule an inspection. Materials naturally deteriorate after years of constant exposure to the elements, leading to mold and mildew growth, UV-related fading and cracking, or damage to the façade. Neglecting your steeple can result in costly repairs later or even create safety hazards. Having a trusted contractor regularly inspect and maintain this iconic feature will ensure it continues to protect and beautify your church for years to come.
Custom Steeple Installation and Restoration
When it’s time to repair or replace a steeple, precision and expertise are essential. At Next Phase, we specialize in custom church steeple installation and restoration. We’ve built close relationships with major steeple manufacturers across the United States, which allows us to match your existing steeple’s design mold and materials seamlessly. Whether your steeple was damaged in a storm or has simply reached the end of its lifespan, we ensure the replacement looks authentic to the original architecture.
Steeples come in a wide variety of materials, including fiberglass, aluminum-clad, copper-clad, standing seam, or sheet metal. Each material requires different handling and expertise, and in some cases, custom fabrication is necessary. Next Phase has the knowledge, sourcing capabilities, and fabrication skills to create a steeple that perfectly complements your church’s style and history. From simple designs to intricate custom details, we handle every step with the highest level of craftsmanship.
Navigating Steeple Insurance Claims
Storm damage can often lead to complex insurance claims, especially when both the roof and steeple are affected. Next Phase Roofing understands how to navigate this process. We work directly with major church insurance companies across Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri to simplify your experience. From the initial emergency assessment to repairs, sourcing the correct steeple configuration, fabricating the structure, installing it, and ensuring it’s watertight, we provide a true turn-key solution. Our expertise ensures that your church receives the appropriate coverage and that the restoration is completed smoothly and correctly.
Coordinating Worksite Logistics with Care
