Paintings may be objects of great beauty or of historical importance, and are fragile creations that require special care and maintenance. With more than 20 years of experience in restoring precious heirloom photographs, we work by hand as well as precise digital imaging to obtain the best picture possible. Whether your precious heirlooms were damaged by mishandling or natural disaster, we fix the
m all. Disasters and other problems. If a disaster such as a flood or fire occurs in your home, remove paintings from standing water or debris. If the paint is flaking, lay the painting flat with the image side up to limit paint loss. Consult Bouchard's photo restoration as soon as possible for assistance in limiting damage to your artwork. Wiping smoke, mud, or other contaminants from a painting may result in additional damage. Insect infestation, flaking paint, paint loss, torn canvas, cracks with lifting edges or planar distortions (wrinkles or draws in the canvas), mold growth, grime, or very discolored varnish are problems that only a professional conservator is trained to address.
