What Our Customers Are Saying

"We were very pleased with the services that Nicole provided. She assessed the needs for suitable storage and safekeeping of our artwork, made recommendations on archival quality materials, and provided sources for ordering. She catalogued our collection to archival standards, listing the attributes of each piece, including a photo inventory, and summarized the results in a database. Once the storage materials arrived, she assisted in completing the storage plan. All of her work was conducted professionally and efficiently, and she was truly a pleasure to deal with. We now have peace of mind that our collection is stored properly to avoid degradation."
