Did a wonderful job on my Moses Soyer painting. He cleaned it and did a wonderful touch up that was needed. He fixed the broken original frame. She’s a delight to see on my wall.We are so thrilled with the lovely restoration you did on the painting-we have it hung on the wall already and are very pleased with the work you did. Thank-you so very much!

Just had an oil painting cleaned and a tear repaired by Andrei. He quoted very quickly and it was reasonable (less than I expected). It was really easy to arrange drop off. It was ready in two weeks. The tear is basically invisible and it's so lovely to have the painting repaired to it's former glory.

I brought a painting that has been in my family for several generations, to Andrei for cleaning. Not only was it ready in two weeks, but Andrei repaired and restored the frame (which was original to the painting) and some light restoration which restored my painting to its original beauty. Drop off and pick up were easy. I highly recommend Andrei.

He fixed and went above and beyond for a painting from my childhood. He is kind and really knows what he's doing.

Andrei is the man for any art restoration. I had an old painting I had accidentally damaged and he totally repaired and at the same time he made a few other fixes and the painting looks amazing!

Plus he's a super nice guy and in the best neighborhood Soho!
