As it so happened I ordered a Thomas McKnight piece from Etsy and the owner/shipper put the art in a soft sided UPS box so the art showed up damaged. Luckily this is right up Anga's alley. Not only was I able to get it framed, I also had a valuable piece that I didn't want to send back, restored. All at a very reasonable price I may add.

I was sure no one is going to be able to restore it without having a visible patch. Hayk Amirkhanyan, whom I believe the owner of business assured me, after repairs, if I can find where the cut is, I won't pay. The price was better than others, but his warm and genuine manners, made me to trust him with my valuable painting. Two weeks later, it was delivered. I still am trying to find the cut. He has my vote 100%.

All of our property has been in storage since we quickly vacated, and we do not know what was impacted by the water intrusion and mold, or what needs to be cleaned, restored, or destroyed. It is arguably the most stressful situation I have ever experienced. We have been forced to deal many vendors during this process, most of which looked for the easiest way to get the job done, cutting corners and providing horrible customer service. This was not the case with Katya. We reached out to Katya to help restore an original painting that was on a wall impacted by water and mold. She is a breath of fresh air. Her professionalism, passion for art, thoroughness and detailed process in restoring an important chapter in my life, is deeply appreciated! For all of you art lovers, history buffs and those who love the emotions of art, if you need any of your important pieces of your collection cleaned or restored, I highly recommend Katya! Not only was Katya amazing at bringing my painting back to its original beauty, she has an amazing character and is a true pleasure to work with. Her process was seamless, she explained everything in detail, and delivered everything she promised. Thank you, Katya! I truly appreciate you!

Aixa is not only a miracle worker but also one of the nicest people I've ever met. When renovating…read moremy mother's home on the Westside after she moved to a nursing home in 2019, a construction worker inexplicably moved and dropped this painting even though I had set it aside with only a few items that I wanted to keep in a room that he wasn't even supposed to go in. Not only was this unique frame from about 1904 badly damaged, but about half of the molding was missing. To say I was upset was an understatement, and I assumed the frame was a lost cause. After finding Aixa on Yelp, I reached out to her in 2019 to see if she could repair the frame, but then life and the pandemic got in the way and nothing got done. I reached out again to Aixa in late 2024, and five years later she still remembered my email and this painting! I brought it to her studio, and she spent close to an hour explaining to me exactly how she would restore the frame step by step. I could immediately tell that she takes immense pride in her craft. I still don't know how she did it, but not only did she figure out where and how the broken pieces of molding fit back together, she also "magically" carved new molding where the sections were missing. Upon careful examination of the frame when I picked it up, not only were there no cracks but I couldn't tell where the broken pieces and her carvings all fit together. Perfectly seamless! I had hoped to only repair the molding, but ultimately Aixa took the frame apart and put it back together because the damage to the joints was worse than it looked. Despite the additional labor, she stood by her original estimate. Lastly, I didn't know this beforehand, but the frame isn't simply painted gold. Instead, to achieve the historical look of the frame, small pieces of gold leaf (you can use real gold leaf, but fake gold leaf looks just as good and is much less expensive) are carefully and methodically applied to the frame. Once again, Aixa's attention to detail and meticulous work is obvious when looking at the before and after photos! Her studio is no longer on the Westside, but totally worth the drive if you have something that you cherish and want to restore.

Melinda's art restoration is thorough and detail oriented. I would absolutely recommend her…read moreservices to anyone else looking to have art restored. My grandma is no longer with us and had a very precious painting that traveled with her and her family from Hong Kong, to Beijing, and finally to her last home in LA. Unfortunately while we were transporting it to my house last year, we were not very careful and ripped the canvas in three places. It is a very very old painting and holds a lot of sentimental value, so of course we were devastated. I contacted Melinda and she gave me an estimate - I dropped the painting off and she explained all of the possible ways she could fix it. We chose the patch method for the rips, as I didn't want to lose the texture of the paint on the trees by relining the whole canvas. The price was very affordable, and she let us know it was done in about two weeks. In addition to fixing the three rips (we couldn't even tell where she applied the fixes!) she also stretched the painting and waxed the frame for us. We are so so pleased to have my grandma's beautiful painting restored and in our home once again. Thank you so much Melinda for the restoration!!

He really took the time to look at my piece carefully, explain what could be done, and give me honest advice without any pressure.

It's rare to find someone who is both this skilled and this genuinely nice. I would absolutely trust him with an important or valuable piece and would recommend Fine Art Restore to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy restoration professional.

Lol, I called them posters, John informed me they were much more than posters and deserving of high quality framing - thank you, John. What excited me most was each print got its own attention. John treated each work like an old friend and shared his expertise on what they needed to look amazing and gave me options on looks, vibes and how to avoid looking like chain-framing pedestrian pieces. I can't wait to see the final products, of which I'll share photographic results.
