Catholic Church Pew
Restoration Specialists
Honoring the sacred tradition of your parish with master craftsmanship, solid oak construction, and more than six decades of devoted service to Catholic churches across the eastern United States.
Restoring the Sacred Beauty of Catholic Parishes
Kivett's Inc. is the largest family-owned and operated pew manufacturer and pew refinisher in the United States. Since 1958, we have built our reputation on an uncompromising standard of craftsmanship — one we have never lowered, regardless of how the industry around us has changed. That commitment to quality is not just a business decision; it is a point of deep, personal pride.
We have had the honor of restoring and installing pews in Catholic parishes throughout the eastern United States, from historic cathedral interiors to growing suburban parish communities. We understand the reverence these spaces command, and we approach every project with the seriousness and care your sanctuary deserves. When Kivett's walks into your church, we treat it as sacred ground — because it is.
Complete Catholic Church Pew Restoration Services
Whether your pews need a full restoration, new upholstery, or a complete replacement, Kivett's has the expertise to honor the dignity of your parish.
Pew Restoration & Refinishing
Breathe new life into worn, faded, or damaged pews. We strip, repair, sand, and refinish to an exacting standard that honors the original character of your church interior.
New Pew Manufacturing
As America's largest family-owned pew manufacturer, we build new solid oak pews to your exact specifications — perfectly matched to your nave's dimensions and architectural style.
Upholstered Seat & Back
We blend our time-tested solid oak construction with the comfort of a fully upholstered seat and back — available in a wide range of liturgically appropriate fabrics and colors.
Structural Repair
Cracked joints, broken pew ends, damaged kneelers — our craftsmen restore structural integrity so your pews are safe, stable, and built to serve your parish for generations more.
Sanctuary & Altar Area Millwork
Altars, presider chairs, ambos, credence tables, and choir seating — all custom-crafted in solid oak to complement your restored pews and unify your entire sanctuary aesthetic.
Kneeler Restoration
We restore and reupholster kneelers with premium materials built for daily liturgical use — preserving the prayerful tradition of kneeling at Mass for years to come.
A Standard We've Never Lowered
Since 1958, our founding principle has been simple: build it right, build it to last, and never cut corners. That standard has made us the most trusted name in church pew restoration across the eastern United States.
America's Largest Family-Owned Manufacturer
We are not a franchise or a chain. Kivett's is family-owned, family-operated, and accountable — the largest of our kind in the country.
Solid Oak Since 1958
Every pew we make starts with solid oak. No particle board, no veneers, no shortcuts — the same proven construction method we've used since our founding.
Respect for Liturgical Spaces
Our crews are trained to work respectfully within active Catholic parishes, coordinating around Mass schedules and holy days with zero disruption to your community.
Eastern U.S. Service Area
We serve Catholic parishes from New England to Florida and everything in between — no parish is too far for our dedicated crews to travel.
Modern Comfort, Traditional Craft
We blend our tried-and-true solid oak joinery with today's comfort standards — fully upholstered seats and backs that make long Masses more welcoming for every parishioner.
Transparent & Honest Estimates
Parish administrators and finance councils appreciate our clear, itemized proposals. No hidden costs, no change-order surprises — just honest pricing from the start.
Built by Hand. Built to Last a Lifetime.
At Kivett's, we take immense pride in the people who build our pews. Our craftsmen are not assembly-line workers — they are skilled woodworkers who understand that the pieces they create will serve Catholic communities in prayer for decades. That sense of purpose shows in every joint, every finish, and every detail.
We have steadfastly refused to lower our standards in pursuit of faster production or cheaper materials. The result is a product that Catholic parishes can trust to hold up under the weight of daily Mass, CCD classes, and the full life of a thriving parish community — year after year.
