How to Receive an Estimate

To provide an accurate estimate, please email clear, in-focus photos of your piece, along with the following details:

• Dimensions: Height, width, and depth.

• Artist/Maker: Who created the piece?

• Materials: What is it made of?

• Condition: Describe all visible damage.

• Completeness: Are all original pieces present?

• Modifications: Would you like anything added or removed?

• Color Changes: Are there any color adjustments you would like?

Tip: Examine your piece in natural light to spot any hidden damage.

Estimate Process

• Initial Estimate: Based on your photos and information, you’ll receive a preliminary price estimate. This is based on the time and materials required for restoration, not the item’s value.

• Final Fixed Price: After inspecting the piece in person, you’ll receive a fixed price quote. This price will not be exceeded and includes all materials, supplies, applicable sales tax, and labor.

Progress Updates

You’ll receive photo updates as restoration progresses. Upon completion, multiple photos will be provided so you can review the results before pickup or delivery.

Payment

• Accepted Methods: Credit card or cash.

• Deposit: A 50% deposit is required to begin work.

• Balance: The remaining balance is due upon completion and delivery or pickup. Terms & Rates

• General Labor Rate: $50/hour plus materials

• Rush Service: Add 20% to the total cost

• Additional Changes: Each change after approval (e.g., color adjustments) add 20% to the hours and materials for that change.
