Before and After photographs are a really good way to illustrate how pieces arrive at your door, in the hands of saddened customers. Sometimes the damage is clean and simple to restore. More often, though, the damage is more complex.

Objects are in pieces, some of them are missing. The task may seem daunting, but with training and practice, anything is possible. Most restoration can only be achieved by combining many of the separate actions in a progression of rebuilding. It takes time. It cannot be rushed. Customers may be surprised when you tell them it will take weeks or even months to complete, but the patience and perseverance will be well rewarded.
