What to Expect

When you contact us about a restoration project, the process typically follows these steps:

Initial Discussion: We begin by understanding what you hope to achieve. Some clients want a chest returned to active daily use, while others prioritize preserving historical authenticity for display or collection purposes.

Assessment: For straightforward projects, photographs may provide enough information for an initial estimate. More complex situations benefit from in-person examination at our workshop.

Proposal: We provide a written proposal detailing the recommended work, estimated costs, and timeline. This document specifies what is included and outlines options where multiple approaches exist.

Execution: Once approved, work begins. We maintain communication throughout, alerting you to any discoveries that might affect the project scope.

Delivery: Completed pieces are carefully packaged for pickup or delivery. We include documentation of work performed and care recommendations.
