PHOTO RESTORATIONS

Most old photographs fade or discolor with age no matter how carefully you care for them. Restoring photos can breathe new life into cherished family pictures and turn a snapshot into a photo worth framing. All restorations are done digitally. Once your photo is scanned, we do not touch it. What you receive is a new, beautifully restored copy in addition to the original.

We can also copy your old photographs or genealogy photo collection to CD. This way you can easily distribute copies of your heirloom photos to siblings, cousins, children and grandchildren for generations to treasure.

All photo repair and enhancement work is guaranteed. Give the unique gift of a photo restoration – gift certificates available.

Each photo is unique and requires individual pricing. However, here is a sample of what you can expect. All estimates are free. When you mail or email your photo, we will evaluate how many hours your restoration will take and contact you with a price quote. You are under no obligation until you accept our final price. If you reject our quote, your original photo will be returned to you free of charge.
