Not sure which level applies? Every photo is reviewed before final pricing.

What happens next

Every photo is reviewed individually before any work begins.

If you’re unsure which level applies, send a message and include a brief description or sample image. We’ll review it and recommend the appropriate level before starting any restoration.

You’ll always know the cost before work begins.

For larger collections, pricing is based on the scope discussed in advance.

If additional items are discovered during review, such as handwritten notes, dates, or images on the back of photographs that were not included in the original request, we’ll let you know before proceeding with any additional work.
