Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

God sometimes opens a window after closing a door, the adage goes. But in the case of two Waco churches, its more of a case of windows, doors and a whole building.

First Baptist Church of Waco N.B.C. is a historically Black congregation that has worshipped together the past 94 years in a building on the edge of downtown at 611 Jefferson Ave. Templo Nueva Vida is a younger, mostly Hispanic congregation that met at 3300 N. 22nd St.

Templo Nuevo Vida has moved into the former First Baptist Church N.B.C. building on Jefferson Avenue.

Now they are trading spaces for futures more aligned with their congregations needs.

For Templo Nueva Vida, its a swap that means more space for a growing Spanish-speaking congregation. It is trading up to a building with two stories and a basement, complete with a sanctuary, dining space and classrooms, plus parking.

First Baptist Church gets a single-floor facility that is easier to maintain and easier for the churchs older members to navigate.

The transition of the old year to the new had extra meaning for members of both churches who found the Sundays in December a time to say goodbye to their previous homes and a 2024 beginning in a new space.

Its been bittersweet for both congregations, but this keeps both facilities in the hands of churches, Templo Nueva Vida pastor Jose Gutierrez Jr. said.

Gutierrez founded the church in 2010, soon after he finished his studies at Pensacola Christian College.

After six years, the church needed more space and bought its current facility, the former Waco Bible Chapel. Another six years later, Templo Nueva Vida and its approximately 60 members were looking for larger quarters.

Gutierrez described Templo Nueva Vida, many of whose members are first-generation Mexican-Americans, as a fellowshipping church that prizes meeting together as part of the churchs identity and ministry.

The church struggled to find a larger space in its former neighborhood.

We love the North Waco area, but there are few facilities conducive to churches in this area, Gutierrez said.

Three miles to the south, members of First Baptist Church of Waco, affiliated with the National Baptist Convention, USA Inc., were looking to move as well. The Black Baptist church began in 1901 as North Eighth Street Church and built its permanent building in 1928.

George Harrison has served as pastor for 38 years, longer than any of his predecessors. Harrison said the 40,000-square-foot building was becoming increasingly difficult to use and maintain.

COVID almost killed us, he said.

Members of First Baptist Church N.B.C. hold their last service at their historic Jefferson Avenue location.

Harrison said the churchs average Sunday attendance of 300 to 400 people had dropped to 100 or fewer, due in part to the pause in Sunday services during COVID-19 surges and several members deaths during the pandemic.

The faithful families at the heart of First Baptists membership have kept it going, but older members were having trouble navigating the churchs steps and stairs. Keeping up with the maintenance of a facility built in 1928 also proved an increasing financial strain on the church, Harrison noted.

Church leadership decided to put their building on the market, but although its downtown location attracted attention, the price or the purpose of potential buyers proved sticking points.

I couldnt in good faith sell our church to a business that would sell alcohol, Harrison said.

And though the neighborhood where the church began had changed markedly over the last century, the longtime pastor also had trouble seeing yet another church leave downtown.

Gutierrez initially had approached Harrison when he first heard First Baptist Church might be selling its building, the Templo Nueva Vida pastor recalled, but the price and timing werent right. By fall, however, the two pastors picked up their earlier conversations, but over a different option: a straight-up trade of their buildings. As the two pastors and their church leaders discussed the issue, details began to fall into place. On Dec. 8, the churches filed the necessary paperwork to transfer their property deeds to each other.

The weeks since then have seen members moving furniture, repainting rooms and doing some light construction to prepare the church buildings for their new congregations. On Christmas Eve, Gutierrez preached his last sermon in Templos former home. On New Years Eve, a Sunday that saw both congregations worshipping in the First Baptist sanctuary at different times, Harrison preached his last sermon from what had been his home pulpit for nearly 40 years.

His sermon was Where Do We Go From Here, from a text in the book of Exodus about Moses leading the Israelites from Egypt through the Sinai wilderness. Moses followers had three options, Harrison noted: return to Egypt, stay in the wilderness or move forward.

Thats what were doing. Were moving forward, he said.

Templo Nueva Vidas new home keeps a church light burning at the Jefferson Avenue location, where it has been aglow for more than a century.

North Eighth Street Baptist Church was organized in 1901, then moved to Jefferson Street with a new frame building erected in 1928, according to The History of the Black Man in Waco, by former Waco City Council Member Garry Radford. A membership split shortly afterward saw the churchs name changed to First Baptist Church.

First Baptist Church N.B.C. built its house of worship in 1928 and renovated it in the 1950s.

Under the Rev. L.F. Hardee, who served as pastor for 32 years, the church bricked and renovated its building in 1952, with the renovation including an electric organ, grand piano and new pulpit. Nine years later, the church expanded again, converting basement space into classrooms, overhauling the church sanctuary and adding refrigerated air air conditioning.

Waco architectural historian Kenneth Hafertepe noted that North Eighth Street Baptist Church was founded at the southern end of an established Black community, a block from the North Seventh Street School, a Black school later known as Barron Springs Elementary School. It was a few blocks south of New Hope Baptist Church and a nearby Central Texas College for Black students, before New Hope moved to its current building in 1922.

Hafertepes Historic Homes of Waco, Texas profiles several small shotgun houses located in the 500 block of Sixth Street that indicate an adjacent neighborhood was a working class one with immigrants among its residents. Celebrated Waco singer Jules Bledsoe, incidentally, lived in the 800 block of Sixth Street in 1913.

A 1926 Sanborn Fire Insurance map of the area around North Eighth Street Baptist Church shows it a residential area, with clusters of small frame homes and boarding houses. The construction and expansion of Waco Drive to its immediate north, however, severed that part of the Black neighborhood and over time, its working class population moved elsewhere in Waco.

First Baptists beige brick exterior and its cathedral glass windows suggest the church was a middle-class congregation wanting to present a modern face to Waco, Hafertepe said.

Historic Buildings of Waco, Texas, doesnt profile the the Jefferson Avenue church building but highlights several downtown churches also built in the 1920s. Those include New Hope Baptist Church at 915 N. Sixth Street in 1922 and St. James Methodist Episcopal Church at Second Avenue and Clay Avenue in 1924, both substantial structures built by growing Black congregations.

Also from that era are Austin Avenue Methodist Church (1924), Waco Central Christian Church (1924), St. Francis on the Brazos Catholic Church (1928) and First Church of Christ, Scientist (1924).

The Rev. George Harrison of First Baptist Church N.B.C. preaches Sunday at thechurch's last service on Jefferson Avenue. The church has swapped buildings with Templo Nueva Vida.

Im glad it will have a new use with a new congregation, said Hafertepe, a Baylor museum studies professor and a leading advocate for historic preservation in Waco. The best possible use (of a historic church building) is by a church congregation.

Both Templo Nueva Vida and First Baptist are looking forward to continuing their own histories in a new place where they feel God has put them.

Harrison and his church already are planning to survey their new neighborhood about interest in continuing a youth feeding ministry the church has had for years. He added that when First Baptist needed chairs for its North 22nd Street building, Antioch Community Church stepped up to meet that need.

I know thats where we should be, he said.

Gutierrez, too, sees providential fingerprints steering his church in its new direction.

God always has a way of surprising us. When you need it, the door opens, he said.

Members of Templo Nueva Vida gather for their Sunday worship service at their location on Jefferson Avenue.

When it comes to upgrading your home's windows, the decision between hiring a professional or taking the DIY route is a substantial factor in the project's overall success. Windows plays a crucial role in a home's aesthetics, energy efficiency, and functionality, making the replacement process a significant investment.While the prospect of cost savings and the satisfaction of completing the task independently can be appealing, there's more to consider.

This article shares the pros and cons of hiring professionals versus opting for a DIY approach when replacing your home's windows.

Choosing professional replacement windows service means relying on experts who bring precision to the job, ensuring your new windows fit seamlessly into your home.

Before hammering in a single nail, professionals comprehensively assess your home's structure. This proactive approach means identifying and fixing potential issues before installation, contributing to the longevity and durability of your new windows.

Professionals prioritize more than just aesthetics. They pay special attention to energy efficiency, ensuring your new windows are sealed tight. This not only keeps your home comfortable but can also lead to noticeable savings on your energy bills over time.

Entrusting your window replacement to professionals comes with the added benefit of warranties. These warranties serve as a safety net, assuring that the professionals stand by their work, and if anything goes wrong, you wont have to pay more to fix it.

The expertise of professionals comes with a price tag, potentially making it a less budget-friendly option for homeowners.

Opting for a DIY window replacement is a pocket-friendly choice, eliminating the need for professional labor costs. This allows homeowners to stick to their budget and provides the flexibility to allocate funds to other essential home improvement areas.

DIYers have the freedom to progress at their preferred speed, providing not only practical advantages but also a more relaxed and personalized approach to the project.

Successful DIY window replacement demands a certain level of skill. Lack of expertise may lead to errors during installation, compromising the effectiveness of the windows.

Undertaking a DIY project requires a substantial investment of time and effort, potentially challenging for those with busy schedules.

Without professional guidance, unforeseen issues may arise during the DIY process. Handling these unexpected complications, such as hidden structural problems, can pose challenges for DIY enthusiasts.

In the debate between hiring professionals or tackling the window replacement project yourself, the practical choice leans towards professional services.

For those with a proven DIY background in window replacement, it's possible to tackle the task, but caution is crucial. We recommend the DIY route only for individuals well-versed in the intricacies of the process.Professional window replacement ensures a snug fit, addresses potential structural issues, and prioritizes energy efficiency. The bonus of warranties adds a layer of security to your investment.

On the flip side, the appeal of saving money with DIY is countered by the need for specific skills, a substantial time commitment, and the risk of unexpected complications. Overlooking even a small detail during the DIY process might lead to missed issues or, worse, create new problems, ultimately resulting in higher costs.

When it comes to safeguarding your home's comfort and appearance, investing in professional window replacement is a practical and reliable choice. Despite the initial higher cost, the assurance of a precise, durable, and trouble-free process often makes it the more sensible option.

Pro vs DIY Window Replacement: Which Is Better for Your Home? - FINE Homes and Living

Feel like picking up ahammer or a screwdriver? Summer Times hopes toinspire you to start that DIYproject you were thinkingof finding time for over theholidays.

In the rules of backyard cricket, if you score a six you have to go and recover the ball.

You may also need to replace a broken window pane.

To do this you will need:

- Some glass. Measure the frame for the pane you need, allowing for the bits that will end up covered by putty. Tell a glass shop what sort of use the window gets and they will provide the correct safety rating of glass. Most shops can produce a glass order for pickup within a few hours.

- A small tub of window putty from a hardware store (or an old tub you may already have: add a few drops of cooking oil if it has dried out, and give it a good kneading).

- A hammer and chisel.

The newly-formed edges on shattered glass are sharper than the sharpest knife. Wear stout gardening gloves leather if you have them.

Place the shards in newspaper and wrap thoroughly before putting with your landfill waste (these are not disposable as recyclable glass here in the South).

The thin wooden glazing bars on an old-style window are quite fragile. Always bang a chisel along the length of wood, towards a corner. Glaziers use a special tool (a "hacking knife") to remove the old putty, but you can use a chisel in the normal way, or hit one side edge of a chisel with a small hammer, holding the other edge against the old putty.

Putty is a mixture of linseed oil and lime grit. If you put it against raw wood, the wood absorbs the oil and makes the putty dry and brittle. You can avoid this by painting some undercoat or rubbing some oil into the rebate of the window frame after you have cleaned out the old putty.

Give a big blob of putty to any children who are watching and let them play with it (the reason for this will become clear later).

Smear a little putty into the rebate, to go on the inside of the glass about as thick as the butter you might put on a cracker.

You can hold the glass in place with tiny nails (tap these these in with a chisel slid back and forth across the new glass while a finger holds the nail) or use "glazing points" the glass shop will sell you these; they can be pushed in using a chisel or large screwdriver.

Now get a sausage-sized blob of putty and give it a good kneading (if the kids havent done so already).

The idea is to warm the putty so the oil component becomes softer and the putty can be worked easily.

Form a nice diagonal wedge of putty around the new pane; try to match the putty on your other windows to get the look correct. Smooth it off by dragging a chisel or putty knife along the bead of putty, then rub with swift, light movements of the fingertips along the bead. This softens the outer layer of oil and forms a smooth skin.

The putty needs at least two weeks to evaporate off some of its oil to harden, so after two weeks, but no more than four, give it a light rub with fine sandpaper, then paint it, starting with undercoat.

Or, get the window professionally double-glazed.

This is a great improvement to a house but horribly expensive.

If you do one window a year its more affordable.

Throughout 2023, Certified Roofers & General Contractors Inc. donated a roof to a charity each month, including A Kids Place, High 5 Inc., the Angel Foundation FL, the Christian Michael Hernandez Foundation, Camp Florida, FishHawk TNR, the Brandon Rotary Club Scholarship Fund, the June Rogers Foundation, Outreach Free Clinic of Brandon, Seeds of Hope, ECHO and Hope for Her.

In addition, for every new roof installed, Certified Roofers donated a percentage of its sales to its charity of choice each month.

On whether they will continue this campaign in 2024, Kathleen Carpenter, operations manager, said no commitments have been made yet.

Original Story Printed January 2023.

Certified Roofers has been a part of our community since 1981. Its quality of service is well known in the community.

Certified Roofers was founded by my father when he was just 18 years old, said Certified Roofers owner and president, Alex Sanchez. He spent his entire life building the business right here in our community. We unfortunately lost him in 2015, but we have carried on in his honor ever since.

Sanchez was born and raised here in Valrico. He attended Riverview High School where his mother was a teacher for many years.

I went on to work in the family business while attending USF and have never left the business, Sanchez said. I married my wife, Sara, in 2008 and have three sons, Clark, 10; Patrick, 9; and Andrew, 7. Sara left her corporate job this last year to open a bookkeeping business meant to service other local small businesses. I am very active at my Rotary Club, the Brandon Rotary Club where I currently sit as the membership chair.

Certified Roofers typically gives away two to three roofs per year to needy families, disabled veterans or charities that approach it to partner with it to provide roofing services to their constituents.

For 2023, Sanchez and his team want to give a roof away to a local charity each month.

What we are choosing to do this year is, in addition to those roofs, we want to honor a different local charity every month where we will donate a portion of revenue to each charity every month, Sanchez said. The charities were chosen due to my current charitable activities, and other local outfits that bring positive change to our community. All charities we donate to will have a local presence, no national exposure, because we strongly believe in focusing our attention here at home.

Sanchez feels incredibly blessed by our community for allowing him to conduct business here in the community for more than 40 years.

I believe in giving back to those that need it most, Sanchez said. We hope to have another great year and would love nothing more than share that with our communitys best charitable organizations.
