The Restoration Process

 

Price Guidlines

Photo Restoration is a complex process and as every photograph is unique in its restoration requirements, we are unable to give a set price for our restoration services until we actually see the photograph and what has to be done. The categories Lite, Moderate, Severe and Reconstruct Image all have individual requirements that enter into the repair process.

The process of restoring a photograph really starts with you. The fact you are here reading this, means you have a photograph that needs something done to it. The photo obviously has great importance to you. It could be of a precious recent moment, or an antique photo, but for whatever reason there must be something you want fixed. Quite possibly it is “one of a kind” and you want to bring it back to life again for yourself, for future generations, or it is a great picture, but you want the background changed.
