Invest in Preservation and Peace of Mind

Your memories are priceless, but preserving them shouldn't be a mystery. I provide clear, itemized estimates before any work begins. No surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any surprise fees?

No. The estimate I give you is what you pay. If I find anything unexpected, I reach out before touching it.

Do I have to do everything at once?

Not at all. You can start with one box, one tape, or one album and come back later with more. There's no obligation to do everything at once.

How is pricing determined?

I charge per item, not per hour. Photos, tapes, slides, and reels each have a set price per unit. Large collections get a bulk rate. See the table above for exact prices.

How does the free estimate work?

Drop off your collection and I'll sort through it and send you an itemized quote by email, usually within 24 hours. You decide whether to proceed. If you'd rather not drop off sight-unseen, send me a description or a photo and I can give you a ballpark.

Is there a discount for large or inherited collections?

Yes. Collections over a certain size qualify for a lower per-unit rate. The table above shows the bulk threshold and price for each service.

What is the guarantee?

Every job is guaranteed. If the quality of any scan, transfer, or restore isn't what I said it would be, I'll redo it at no charge. No arguments, no fine print.

Is there a minimum order?

Yes, there is a $30 minimum for all projects. Most collections come in well above that.
