New Church Pews

When the old bodies cannot be saved, we build new. Length, end style, wood species, stain, and 4-way stretch fabric are specified with our designer for your room.

Is this the right fit?

When new church pews are the right call

Sound pew frames are usually worth keeping — reupholstery is commonly about a third of the cost of new pews of similar quality. But sometimes new is the honest answer.

  • Pew bodies that are split, failing, or undersized
  • A layout that has to change — new aisles, wheelchair spaces, or a different seat count
  • A new building or a sanctuary being rebuilt
  • Mismatched pews collected over the years that will never look like one set

If the frames are solid, start with pew upholstery and refinishing instead. Some auditorium-style rooms are better served by theater seating.

Process

How we build new pews for your sanctuary

  1. Measure the room

    We measure the sanctuary and the aisles, and check floor slope, which affects how pews sit.

  2. Design with the room

    Wood, stain, end style, and fabric are chosen with our designer alongside your floor and walls.

  3. Samples and quote

    We bring wood, fabric, and carpet samples so the committee can decide together.

  4. Build, deliver, install

    Pews are built to your lengths, then Sharpe’s delivers and installs them. Typical timeline is about 3–4 months.

Planning checklist

What to check before buying new or used church pews

  • Measure the room first. Used pews from another building rarely drop straight in. Length, aisle width and exits all matter.

  • Inspect frames and joints. Many used pews are decades old and close to the end of their life.

  • Plan wood and fabric with the room. Tone and cloth should sit with your flooring, walls and glass.

Before you call

Planning checklist before you order new pews

  • Confirm the frames you have now. Solid wood with worn fabric is often a recover job, not a replacement.

  • Plan for a longer timeline. New pews typically take about 3–4 months. Sharpe’s delivers and installs them.

  • Measure carefully. Aisle widths, exits, choir space and wheelchair seating all affect the layout.

  • Choose wood and stain with the room. Match them to wall color and carpet in the same meeting.

Real work

New and restored pews: what churches chose

Many churches find their pews can be saved. Others need new. Our guides walk through new vs. used, what to inspect, and why used pews from another building often need legs re-cut to your floor.

FAQ

New church pew questions

Tap a question to read the answer.

New vs. restored

Restored pews keep the history and cost about a third of new. New pews are the right call when bodies are split, undersized, or the layout has to change.

Can we choose the wood and stain?

Yes. We offer multiple woods and stains, and you pick the end style and fabric.

Can new pews include kneelers or bookracks?

Yes. Bookracks, kneelers, and cup holders can be specified with the pews.

Should we buy used pews instead?

Used pews can save money, but they need inspection, often need legs re-cut to your floor slope, and usually need reupholstery or refinishing. Factor that in before you buy.

How long do new pews take?

About 3–4 months, and Sharpe’s delivers and installs them.

Is there a warranty?

New pews carry our lifetime pew workmanship warranty.

New pews or recover?

Recover when the frames are sound. Replace when the frames are failing or the layout must change.

Do you install what you deliver?

Yes. Sharpe’s delivers and installs the pews as part of the project.
