We recently wrapped up a 17-day painting and restoration project at the historic Chapel located at 600 Frederick Road in Catonsville. This iconic structure has been a beloved part of the community for generations, and spending time within its walls was a powerful reminder of just how special it truly is.

Formerly known as the Christadelphian Church, the Chapel once served a small congregation that gathered for Sunday worship. As described on the Chapel’s website, “Located in the heart of historic Catonsville, Maryland, The Chapel on 600 Frederick Road is a space steeped in history and reimagined with purpose. Originally built as a place of worship, this charming, character-filled building has long been a quiet anchor in the community — a structure that has stood the test of time and witnessed countless stories.”

As with every professional painting project, our first step was to protect the Chapel’s original features by carefully covering and masking all surfaces not intended for paint. To safely reach the high cathedral ceilings, we utilized a one-man lift, ensuring the flooring and architectural details remained untouched.

All previously stained wood trim was thoroughly sanded, shellac-primed, and finished with two durable topcoats — including the intricate framing surrounding the stained-glass windows. The result is a refreshed and revitalized interior that highlights the Chapel’s historic craftsmanship while preserving its timeless character.

Business Partner & Project Manager, Derrick Conover, shared:
“Working on the chapel was an honor. Every beam, every piece of trim has a story, and our goal was to enhance the beauty that was already there while treating the space with the respect it deserves.”

Project Manager Brandon Ey added:
“Restoring a building with this much history requires patience, precision, and heart. Our team approached every detail with the mindset of keeping its story alive while giving it the strength to stand for future generations.”

Owner Jonathan Zawacki added:
“Projects like this remind us why we do what we do. Preserving history isn’t just about paint — it’s about protecting a place that means something to the community. We’re grateful for the opportunity to help the Chapel shine for decades to come.”

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the team at The Chapel in Catonsville for trusting us with this meaningful work. It was a truly rewarding experience, and we’re proud to have played a small part in the ongoing preservation of such a cherished local landmark.
