Have you been wondering how much it costs to clean or repair a painting? You’re in luck. In this article, the process of how pricing for an art restoration, painting repair, conservation services plan, etc. works. Let’s dive into how we can get your items back to their best condition.

Why do we provide painting restoration and conservation services in Las Vegas? There is so much art in homes and private collections all over the city. Your home might even have a painting or two in it. Have you ever wondered how much it costs to clean a painting? Well, it’s not as simple as just giving a price per square inch as you might do for painting a house. Each painting and its history is unique, and cleaning it requires a special approach. Let’s explore why you can’t just “hit it with a mop” and how to find out how much it costs to clean a painting or repair an artwork.

This was a complicated project with many unexpected developments along the way. We were in communication with the owner about treatments that need to be added to the original treatment plan. The cost of the treatments were communicated through every step of the process.

Imagine being an art conservator in charge of restoring artworks. People often ask you, “How much does it cost to clean a painting?” They might think it’s like getting an estimate for a home repair. Art is much more complicated. It’s not about size or measurements; it’s about understanding the artwork’s history and what it needs.

Did you know that cleaning an Old Master painting is different from cleaning an Impressionist painting or other types of art? In regards to painting restoration, modern acrylic paintings are treated differently from old family portraits. Each style has its unique way of being cleaned

For example, we at Fine Art Conservation Laboratories (FACL)  once worked on a famous series of 40 paintings, all made by artist Henry Chapman Ford between 1874 and 1886. These paintings show the Spanish missions of California and were made for the Mission Inn in Riverside, CA. Every single one of these 40 paintings needed a different way of being cleaned. As you can imagine, it took a while to estimate the treatment plan for each of these artworks.

Cleaning a painting is not as simple as it may seem. It’s a process of discovery and careful analysis. The professional who cleans the painting, known as a conservator, must be very careful and make decisions based on their judgment. They can’t just use ordinary cleaning products. Cleaning a painting requires skill, patience, and respect for its history and value.

If you’re curious about how an Impressionist painting is cleaned, especially one that’s not too complicated, you can watch a short video. It shows the cleaning of a painting by the famous California Impressionist Edgar Payne. The video reveals that to clean a painting isn’t a quick task but a delicate and precise process that preserves the art’s beauty.
