A church’s leaking steeple brought Ernest Peterson Inc a detailed thank-you in March 2025. The Google reviewer described years of water entering the choir loft and threatening the organ, with plastic draped over its pipes for nearly a decade. Goran and Steve built a collection basin and piped rainwater from the aluminum spire out of the building; the customer said the steeple was dry afterward and the organ protected. The Hartford business has a five-star Google average from two ratings. In that March 2025 account, the customer said a price that initially seemed expensive proved small compared with the investment it protected.
For years our church steeple had leaked, probably since the building was built in 1960. Over time the leaks got worse and with a storm like last Wednesday's we could count on a flooded choir loft and tens of thousands of dollars to our church organ. After nearly a decade of plastic draped over the organ pipes we contacted the best - Ernest Peterson - to help us understand the source of water infiltration. What seemed expensive was a small drop in the bucket. Goran and Steve created a collection basin and piped the rainwater from the steeple's aluminum spire out of the building. I am happy to report that our steeple is dry and our wonderful organ is safe. Great job Alex. Thank you for sending us the best of the best to solve our long-time problem and protect our investment.
