I have been using Sergey's services for art restoration regularly for about 15-20 years. He has done work for me on canvas paintings, wood finishes, gold gesso, gold leaf, ceramics and probably some things I dont' even remember. I have never been disappointed. The breadth of his knowledge and skills is rarely found outside a museum's restoration department. Sergey was trained for this as a young man in the Soviet Union -- in a system that demanded excellence from those who'd be caring for its artistic treasures. (Art College Vizhnicya and Academy of Art Lvov, Ukraine) Since establishing his studio in San Francisco in 1992, Sergey has done conservation work for both the Oakland Museum and the Fine Arts Museum of San Fancisco, as well as for serious art/antique dealers and private collectors in the Bay Area. His prices are fair. He understands the value of what he is doing, and the value of each piece he works on. If your artwork is not worth the expense of restoration, you can trust that he will be honest with you about that. Over many years, Sergey Konstantinov has consistently delivered museum-quality art restoration services for my clients, and always at a fair price. That's worth 5 stars any day.

First, I cannot believe Sergey doesn't have more reviews. This man is a master, a magician, and…read moretruly loves his craft. He's saved a few of our paintings and we're getting ready to send more his way. (No, we aren't into destroying & then repairing art... earthquakes, bad shipping, etc., are to blame!)

The first was a 50 year old screenprint that suffered from considerable foxing which she removed flawlessly from within the ink. The second was a vintage screenprint that was totally destroyed in shipping. The box was crushed leaving severe creases in multiple places and she magically flattened it and drastically reduced the creases so that they are not visible without close examination. Since then she has removed water and mildew stains from multiple prints. Julie is a gem in San Francisco and we're lucky to have her.

They restored it completely and gorgeously. They then surprised me with a lengthy report about the process with pictures of the work along the way. I was thoroughly impressed. I think we've all grown accustomed to shoddy service in so many realms. Not here. Last week when I was about to import another piece but had questions about it from afar, they were happy to look at it and make recommendations, assured me that it looked in good quality but was surely on paper instead of canvas. The artist is now painting us a new one on canvas. We're thrilled! I can't recommend these guys enough for restoration or even just pre purchase consulting, ensuring you've got the right matting ... anything, and probably more.

Most pieces had severe smoke damage including antiques that were in pretty bad shape. The level of professionalism at SF Art Conservation put us at ease.

Our insurance company was also hard to deal with but the patience and impressive work ethic that SF Art Conservation has made all the difference.

This is a wonderful place with a warm and friendly staff (I was working with Rowan) who made me feel confident to leave my art piece in their care. They described, in detail, how they were going to repair and conserve the piece, as well as how much it was going to cost up front (no surprises). They also showed me art pieces they were currently working on; they had some amazing art in their workshop! If you have an art piece that needs attention, I would truly recommend SF Art Conservation. Many thanks to Rowan and staff for their wonderful and professional help! I look forward to bringing other artwork (which needs conservation) to them in the future.

The paint has been chipping off a bit since then, and I finally bit the bullet to find someone to repair it. I found David here on Yelp. I liked that others wrote reviews on his repair work. He is a master at his craft, so don't expect it to be done in a hurry as quality work takes time. There were chips in the upper middle of the painting and tiny chips missing in quite a bit of other spots all over the entire piece. He was able to reduce a small fraction of the warping (on the left side) and he conditioned it and repaired the chips in the sky and other smaller paint chipped areas. I am very satisfied with the end result of the repair he made on this 1950's original oil painting of Laguna Beach, CA. Now I can proudly hang it on my wall! Thank you David, you're the best.

If Humpty Dumpty had met this guy, he'd still be in one piece lol…read more David is a restoration wizard! His little workshop looks like something out of a storybook - a flower-covered cottage where broken things go to be reborn. My most treasured possession, an ostrich egg my late father brought home from Africa when I was a kid, was shattered into what felt like a billion pieces during my recent move. I thought it was gone forever. I was a devastated wreck on the pavement in front of all my neighbors. But David, with the steady hands of an artist and the heart of a healer, pieced it back together so flawlessly, you'd never know it had been broken. If you have something priceless - whether it's an heirloom, a keepsake or a fragment of your past - don't give up on it. Bring it here. He doesn't fix objects; he brings them back to life and restores memories. I'll never be able to thank him enough.

This gives me the opportunity to discuss the work in person, and avoid costly and risky shipping. Mikhail's credentials are top notch, his expertise spans Russian, European, American art. Just a few things Mikhail helped me restore to their original glory: - An early 19c Russian orthodox icon, which had significant losses of paint and an almost opaque darkened varnish layer that had to be removed. - A 17c painting, almost destroyed by time, countless restorations, termites and careless shipping. - A few 19c European paintings whose varnish got too dark with time. After the restoration, the painter's signature became legible, so many new details were uncovered! Every restored item became the centerpiece of my collection. The work has been performed with the utmost care and precision, every part of the existing artwork carefully preserved. Finally, I'd like to note that Mikhail was always open about the outcome of the work, giving his honest opinion on whether the hours and cost spent restoring an item were worth the effort.

For years, we had watched as thin white lines appeared in the painting, caused by the canvas stretcher bars behind the canvas.

Mikhail made the best impression and we are so grateful for his skill. We live in Marin County; and Mikhail picked-up our painting from our home, restored it to better than new condition in his studio, delivered it back to us, re-framed and helped to re-hang it in our home. We could not be more satisfied. Worth the time and every penny. Thank you, Mikhail!

The bench was purchased by my mother, probably around 40 years ago, and was in her huge backyard and garden. She had 5 benches, and 5 kids, and this one was mine after she passed in 2011. Over the years I have had it refinished, but time took a toll on the structure of it. Replacing it with a new bench did not seem satisfying- how could I discard this precious (to me) piece of history that contained so many memories of my mother and her beautiful yard? Giorgio came out and took a look, (remember he is a fine antique restorer) and he said he would like to take on the project. The price was more than I thought it would be, (way more than a new bench), but he explained that he would have to replace all of the wood, all of the hardware and restabilize the bench. It would take approximately 1 month, taking it to his studio. I agreed. He took the bench away in pieces. The old bench was oak, and he we went over options for replacement and settled on heat treated ash, an enduring high-quality choice that would have a similar look to the original oak. Giorgio delivered the bench back to my San Francisco yard. I was so happy! The quality craftsmanship of Giorgio Di Costanzo filled that bench with the magic of my mother's memory to be enjoyed for years to come.
