We are happy to provide free estimates for all works.  Estimates cannot be given over the phone without seeing the artwork in person.  Generalized quotes can be made via emailed photos of the artwork, however until we see the artwork in person, a hard quote cannot be given. 

 

Prices quoted are based upon the size of the artwork, material cost, time and labor needed to properly conserve the artwork. Prices are determined by the complexity of the work and the amount of damage needing conservation. 

 

Once a quote is given and accepted, a binding contract has begun between South Bay Art Conservation and the Client and are subject to the terms and conditions stated herein. 

​

Timelines are estimates of how long we believe your project will take to complete.  Please note that these are estimates, and our main concern is that your artwork is taken care of properly and SAFELY.  We will keep you updated throughout the whole process and will inform you if we believe we need more time to complete your artwork's conservation needs. 

​

If you are shipping your artwork in we request: 

 

*No framed artwork being sent in without prior notification.  NOTE: We are not framers.  While we can de-frame your artwork for conservation purposes, we cannot put it back into the frame for you. You must take your artwork to a framer. Frame disposal fee: $150. 

 

*No crates or large packages above 50 inches be sent without prior notification.  We have a different shipping address for crates and large packages.  Crate disposal fee $350. 

 

*Packing material being shipped must be adequate to return the artwork in.  No tubes/rolled artwork, unless artwork can be rolled again to return.  If we must re-pack artwork due to poor quality/unsafe materials there will be an addition charge of $250.

 

*Please include a list of the artwork and general areas of concern with the package.

​

We recommend all clients take photographs of their artwork prior to shipping detailing the areas they want worked on.  

​

Payment is due upon completion of services.  Artwork will not be returned until payments have been made in full.  Some larger projects will require a 50% deposit to be paid before any work is performed.
