Would you trust your great-grandfather's Civil War portrait to someone who usually fixes drywall?

Then why trust your art restoration to anyone but specialists?

When your Western Maryland family's historical treasures are damaged, you need restoration specialists who understand that some art holds memories that insurance can't measure - they can only be restored.

"The insurance adjuster looked at our water-damaged Civil War painting and said 'It's just an old military picture. We'll give you $100.'"

A family from Frederick's historic district called us devastated after basement flooding damaged their farmhouse. The painting wasn't "just an old military picture" - it was an original portrait of their ancestor who served in the 6th Maryland Infantry, painted by a fellow soldier in 1863.

The insurance company saw an old painting with water damage. We saw a direct connection to Maryland's Civil War history hanging in that Frederick home. The faded uniform details and battle honors were barely visible under water stains, but we knew how to reveal them.

The Discovery: After careful restoration and historical research, we revealed regimental details and battle honors. The "old picture" documented a Maryland family's Civil War service, connecting four generations to their ancestor's sacrifice.
