Best Art Restoration Service Saint Louis Near Me

Rosanna Ayala: Tina and company reframed very old and priceless paintings given to me by my grandfather. I initially brought them to another framing company who declined to work on the paintings. They said they could not figure out how to remove the original frames that were glued, nailed and secured so tightly they deemed it impossible to free them without causing damage. I then brought the paintings to Tina who inspected them and was confident she could work with them. She is also a wonderful framing designer who helped me select the perfect frames to complement the artwork. The result was eye-catching, stunning pieces that enhanced the living spaces in my new home! They are so beautiful and bring me so much joy whenever I look at them! Thank you, Tina, and to your wonderful team!

Lisa Rueschhoff: A piece of art which was my grandmother's from Italy fell and the frame broke apart into pieces, I couldn't had been more upset. Tina and her crew restored and repaired the frame as if nothing ever happened to it. In fact it felt more sturdy than ever. Everyone additionally was extremely kind and professional I will absolutely return if I ever have any art or framework needs. The w9rk she and her crew do is awesome to say in short ! I highly recommend 👌

Katie Delmez: We have owned a rare primitive New Guinea art piece for many years. It is made of various sizes of very small shells, animal hair, original color stained detail and finely carved wood.Unfortunately, the original leather hanger failed and the entire piece crashed to the floor. Hundreds of small fragments were scattered on the floor. It was unlikely that it could be repaired.I did take all pieces to Tina at Art & Frame Restoration. After several months of Tina’s tedious and intricate work, I was shocked to see the finished piece! She also attached a no-fail safety hanger to the back! Our cherished treasure is now back hanging in a prominent space on our wall!Thank you to Tina and her talented crew for performing such an amazing restoration.

Debbie Throne: Art & Frame Restoration saved several pieces of art created by my long dead grandmother and mother. The quality of their restoration was excellent. They took time to consult with us regarding framing and kept us informed with each step in the process. When I picked up the finished pieces, I cried at seeing my precious paintings fully restored. They treated me as if I were leaving museum quality artwork with them, understanding their sentimental, priceless value to me.

Cindy B: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueGiving a “Shout out to Tina and her team!” For doing an exceptional job on an extremely old oil painting from Germany, that was a priceless family heirloom.

Kathy Evans: I took in a piece of art I had, composed of cut up fragments of embroidered cloth, that my mom made years ago. It is one of the only things I have from her. It was knocked off the wall and the glass broke. When I took it to be reframed (at Ciocci's, a great frame shop!) they referred me to Tina Crist. She took it all apart, made some recommendations. I've learned to let artistic people do their thing, so I agreed to her suggestions. I was nervous about it, but it came out absolutely beautiful, beyond what I could imagine. It means a great deal to me and now the presentation is exquisite: pieces are fixed so they don't float around, with a shadow box mounting and a gorgeous frame. I can't thank you enough, Tina. Sometimes looking at it brings tears. My mom would have loved it.

Suzanne Jones: Did a great job of restoring a print that had of all things cat urine damage. Love how they were able to save it from having me throw it the trash bin. As well they did a wonderful job of matting and framing, so it now can be proudly shown in my home.

Steve Cochran: I brought in an old, damaged family photo. The staff was very receptive to my needs. Two different options were provided to me. One, a restoration of the entire image. Two, a different look with judicious cropping. The young lady who prepared the images was thoughtful and helpful. I highly recommend this locally owned business. Thank you!

Harlee Sorkin: Tina took the time to brainstorm strategies on a difficult to repair chip on an oil painting. The chip was in a gradient sky with a glossy oil coat over the top. Color match was spot on. Sheen difference is only noticeable under close inspection in direct light. This I learned is due to the fact that you never restore with the same material so that it is ultimately reversible. I learned this because Tina took the time to explain the rationale behind her strategy. Thank you for the work on a prized family piece.

David N Johnson: Tina greeted us and assessed the pieces we brought in for repair and restoration. She is a library! We were enthralled with her knowledge of history and the pieces we had. We were given a tour of the facility and are amazed at the variety of projects undergoing repair or restoration. Mr. Gilbert is in good hands!

Heidi Hughey: I brought a 1959 original still life oil painting to Art and Frame Restoration. The frame and painting had been badly damaged during a move cross country after having been in my parents home since 1959. It also showed signs of rotting due to the age and being in a home with close proximity to the ocean, and lots of sun from large picture windows, etc. the art restorers here brought it back to life well beyond my expectations. The reframing was perfect and stayed within the original mid-century design. I know my parents would have been delighted! I can now enjoy this work of art in my own home for many years to come. It will certainly outlive me. The artist through her work will live on and will be appreciated by younger generations.

Julie Schaberg: Remarkable job repairing our damaged art work! Took care of a small rip in one, and a rippled canvas in the other. They are completely restored. Amazing results. We are thrilled!

Randy Moore: I recently had a painting made for me, and I needed the perfect frame to finish it off. Tina at "Home Is Where The Art Is" was more than helpful with advice from her extensive selection of frames. Furthermore, quality is of utmost importance in things that I buy, and she did not disappoint in that respect, either. And she is very skilled in restorations and cleanings, so I'm sure I have a few pieces where in future she can help me with that as well. I would recommend her to help anyone who prizes their artworks.

Laurice Bankhead: I was nervous to hand my family documents and old wedding photo and frame over to anyone but they were all in desperate need of stabilizing. I met with Tina and she was very friendly and reassuring. I told her money was an issue but that I needed to do what I could to preserve the artifacts. She helped me find a reasonable solution. I just picked everything up and I am very pleased with all that was done.

I plan on having them restore another painting in the near future. Thank you Home is Where The Art Is!

Guided us through/to the ult museum quality framing for the (b&w photography) art that was Hope's apt warming gift post college! As a collector and 'informed type' of such .. Tina is in class of her own! Amazing

Gail Saxton: A radiator malfunction in the storage area of a rural 19th-century country inn bathed the hotel's treasured collection of 26 oil paintings in moisture for hours. The owners (our friends) feared the paintings were permanently damaged because they looked awful. We transported them to St. Louis and thankfully found Tina. She brought every one of them back to life without applying any new paint. They now look better than before the disaster, with decades of dirt removed, and all are proudly displayed once again. Tina's expert work on these paintings was absolutely remarkable. We've used her company many times since. An appreciation for history, superb craftsmanship, great value, wonderful people -- we are deeply grateful.

Melody C: Tina, the owner, was very helpful and friendly. I had an original self portrait painting on canvas that was damaged. They repaired and repainted the canvas. I cannot tell it was ever damaged!

Justin Roberts: Brought in a pen and ink drawing that the previous owner had glued down to a non-acid free board. Tina safely removed the drawing from the board, and it is now housed in a beautiful custom frame under museum glass. Best part is the piece was ready a week sooner than was quoted. I could not recommend this place enough!
