First United Methodist Church, El Campo, Texas
While the appearance of the Sanctuary was serviceable, (the ceilings were a bit discolored and the carpet did show some wear) the Rostrum was the primary target for an upgrade. A large pipe organ had been installed some years before limiting the space needed for a more contemporary style of worship. Sound and lighting was adequate at best. The pipe organ was removed and a new expanded Rostrum was constructed. Along with the new Rostrum, new audio/visual, sound and lighting systems were designed and installed, the ceilings repainted, the pew finish renewed and new carpeting laid down.

First United Methodist Church, Carthage, Texas
The Sanctuary, constructed in 1942, was due for new carpet and paint. ASG found that moisture issues in the crawl space had corroded the electrical conduits and the nails securing the subfloor. The corroded nails were replaced with high quality coated screws. The electrical service was upgraded to 400A and all electrical and mechanical systems were completely replaced bringing the building to current code standards.

First United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall, Carthage, Texas
Constructed in 1949 the Fellowship Hall had survived two previous fires and the resulting repairs.
At 7,000 square feet, the building contained a large kitchen, stage, six classrooms and an office for the Youth Pastor. Outdated dark finishes, inadequate lighting, non compliant restrooms and a general “well used” condition necessitated a complete renovation. Additionally, the electrical and mechanical systems were completely replaced bringing the facility to current code standards.
