Highly recommend!

I just had a portrait of my Great Grandparents restored at the Conservation Center in Chicago. We…read moreare so pleased with the results. This portrait was over 100 years old and had a lot of damage to the portrait and frame, especially water damage. The restoration is truly remarkable! Such care and consideration were given us especially when working with us on the pricing! I am so grateful to Ms. Maria Orachek! She was wonderful to work with us. This portrait now belongs to my disabled son, and it has made him so happy. I am happy to write this review for The Conservation Center and their entire staff. They deserve a full 5-star review!

Giving this firm a single star is far more than it deserves. After initial contact, I received an…read moreemail stating they could not duplicate the bronze table mounts which I found perplexing, because I specifically stated that I had the mounts, but they would need to be installed following the wood restoration. When I informed them of their misunderstanding, they apologized and stated I would receive a phone call " shortly" from their wood restorer to make an appointment to view the table at my home, which is less than 2 miles from their offices...... that was five weeks ago and I still haven't received a phone call from the restorer. However, today I received an email asking me if I agree to their terms. Who's on first? Their incompetence is glaring, and I can't believe how they maintain a business. They are a joke.

She gave me an initial quote based on pictures of the damage and when saw the painting personally she even charged me less for the fix.

I also wanted a couple of chairs tightened, as they were loose. One guy came to my apartment, informed me that the table was from the 1970s, which I know for a fact was my great-grandmother's from 1918 or so. anyway. He didn't fix the leg correctly, as it was still loose. He told me to let it sit for a day. I did. When I looked at it the next day, it was still loose, and when I attempted to move it back into place, the entire leg broke off. I called them, and he came back out, did something to fix it, but it is still loose and not fixed correctly. They did work for me in the past, framing, rushing a chair, but this time I just ate the money. The chairs are ok now, but the leg, I guess, he just couldn't admit it was beyond his scope. I didn't call again. Id rather eat the money I spent on this than have this guy return.

I came back with my adult daughter for a fused art class, and Evelina welcomed everyone with wine and appetizers and an explanation of how to make art. There were bins of colored glass in many shapes and sizes to play with. She spent extra time with my daughter who was having trouble letting her creative side out. They made a glass dish together that everyone compliments. Then Jessie began to play with shapes and colors to make a few other pieces. Her confidence came out! I get compliments on the art pendants I created, too. I'll be bringing more friends with me next time!
