Books & Art Restoration

Artwork
 

Among our many SERVPRO disaster restoration services is Houston fire damage restoration of artwork and books. Never assume that your artwork is a total loss simply by its appearance after a loss. We have seen unrecognizable pieces of art fully restored by our technicians or partners. Artwork ranges from inexpensive framed pictures to extremely valuable fine art. It can consist of fragile surfaces of pastels, charcoals, and watercolors to canvas paintings with oil pigments and acrylics. Fire-damaged artwork will fall into one of two categories:

damaged artwork and art restoration
 
  • Valuable art requires the skill of a trained art restorer (known as a conservator). The SERVPRO franchise professional will usually subcontract fine art restoration to a conservator.
  • Less expensive art does not warrant the costly specialized services of a conservator.

Books
 
Hardcover books can usually be restored after a fire, though the success of restorative procedures depends on the severity of damage. Our technicians evaluate several areas when restoring books.
 
  • Type of construction
  • Pre-existing damage
  • Water damage
  • Heat damage
  • Smoke residues
  • Value of the book(s)
 
Whether books are stored on a shelf or individually exposed to damage situations, we can restore the books using various methods based on the amount of damage.
