Note: This review is based solely on my consultation process…read more Chris is a rare gem! I reached out to Chris about an old painting of mine with significant sentimental value. He was incredibly professional, honest, and thoughtful. He took the time to review photos, ask questions, and even conducted his own research on the artist and market value - this totally surprised me in the best way possible. I can tell Chris is an upstanding and deeply considerate professional. His expert advice truly put my mind at ease. For now, I'm pausing on the restoration, but I'm looking into refreshing the framing per his suggestion. He even recommended a framing specialist he trusts nearby where I live, which was such a sweet surprise. It's rare to find someone so knowledgeable who leads with such grounded transparency, especially when art can be so emotional. Chris really cares about the time and effort involved for everyone. There are a lot of great reviews on here, but I wanted to really speak to his KINDNESS just from our initial interactions. I'll definitely be returning to him when I'm ready to move forward with conservation!

Lina carefully restored my Father's 65 year old paper/pencil drawing which had severe water stains and the drawing now looks as if it was drawn today. She is obviously fully aware of how far to only go on a work as to retain the originality and yet restore the work as best as her professional abilities will allow. She even arrived to my home for the initial consultation and pickup of the work and due to my scheduling, she later arrived at my pet's Veterinarian's clinic to drop off the finished work. I highly recommend Lina and the museums should be aware of her caring services for any paper conservation.

He strengthened the area where the break occurred and repaired it such that one cannot tell without an extremely up close inspection that the repair had been made (one needs to know to look for the repair to even see it). Hilton was flexible and accommodating on drop off and pick up time and the repair price was very reasonable for this work-of-art repair. I would definitely go back to SF Restorations for future furniture repair needs.
