Our photo restorations start at $70+HST ($20 set-up fee + $50 minimum). This would be for the most basic of fixes.

To receive a free quote for your restoration we must see your original in person, in order to properly assess the extent of damage and estimate the amount of time needed to complete your requested fixes.

Any restoration, no matter the damage, will take approximately 2-3 weeks to complete.

No, unfortunately we cannot restore your original photograph. We make a digital scan of your original (or in some cases, a Camera Copy) and complete the restoration from this copy. Your original is returned to you as we received it, and a perfectly restored final version will be delivered to you via print and/or USB, whatever your preference.

The most common restorations we do include:

When possible, we restore images to their original colour (in more difficult cases, your photograph will need to be colourized)

Turn colour images to Black & White/Sepia

Colourize Black & White/Sepia photographs

Clean up tears, scratches, cracks, water damage and dust

Restore density and contrast to photographs that have faded over time

Replace or fix backgrounds; add or remove people, objects and text

Restore faces, hands and features (generally some of our most costly work, as we may need to work from multiple photographs)

All photo restorations are tedious and time-consuming, sometimes even requiring research to be done before the work can begin or while it's already in progress. Your original needs to be scanned, and if it can't be scanned (due to size or quality/texture/damage issues) we have to make a Camera Copy, which gets complicated when trying to capture each and every detail. Professional quality is our focus over anything else as we strive to provide the most natural and seamless work that we can, rather than fast work that can look cut-and-pasted.

If budget is an issue, we will certainly recommend our most cost-effective fixes (not necessarily the 'best' or most in-depth options) so that you can still be happy with the restoration, without worry about cost.
