Regarding the restoration of the 19th century paintings, one was torn, there were patches where the paint had chipped off, they were sagging off their stretchers, and were scratched. His work in restoring them was meticulous. And he cleaned them so that many details that we hadn't even noticed in the paintings previously were now visible! They turned out much better than we could have even imagined. We had also purchased some paintings in Central America that we brought back rolled up in a tube. Andrei put them into custom sized stretchers, perfectly smooth, with perfectly wrapped corners. We had a great experience with Andrei. He completed the job sooner than he had anticipated, and was very professional. He takes his work seriously and we appreciated that so much. We are so pleased with his work and would recommend him highly. In fact, I'm planning to bring him another painting that is starting to peel and have him repair it as well.

From the first moment, I felt that I could truly trust her -- and I was absolutely right. She did an amazing job, far beyond my expectations. On top of that, her pricing was incredibly fair for the quality of work she delivers. For something this meaningful and valuable, I honestly expected it to cost much more. Honest, kind, professional, and truly talented. If you are looking for someone you can trust with valuable or meaningful artwork, she is the one. Her work is absolutely worth every dollar.

We contacted Jill to who indicated that it looked like it could use a cleaning and gave us a range of what that might cost. She made clear that until she could do tests on the painting she couldn't say for sure what the outcome of a cleaning might be. We bought the painting and brought it to Jill. The cleaning and other work she did on the painting made an extraordinary difference and we are extremely happy with the results. Jill is a lovely person and very honest and easy to work with. She is highly skilled at her profession and we recommend her without reservation. Go to her website and watch her videos. You can't fail to be impressed.

I saved his email, though, and recently reached back out to him. He responded right away with an updated quote, and in general was very helpful and responsive. Unfortunately, as we were corresponding, I found -- for the first time in years of looking -- another poster like mine for sale online. This one was in near-mint condition, and it cost less to buy it than it would to have my ratty version repaired. I really regretted having to cancel, but I don't regret connecting with Chris. One day, if I have a worthier project, I'll get back in touch with him.

I did have a broken off piece but it was still missing chips and was not making a smooth connection with the rest of the pot. I shipped it to Hess Restorations.

The piece is attached smoothly and I cannot tell where it was broken or that it was broken at all! And this is without re-firing the entire piece. I am so pleased with the work.
