I am a restoration specialist in the San Francisco Bay area with 31 years experience. I am dedicated to restoring your items with taste, care and with the preservation of such without doing further damage reusing as much of the original material as possible.
I restore books, paper, maps, documents, art, posters, ect… I also deacidify and encapsulate paper items and digitally restore and/or manipulate photographs. I do not try to make them look new but the way that they should look and properly function.
All materials that I use are archival and reversible. My work and materials are unconditionally guaranteed for life.
