          SHOULD YOU RESTORE?

          ANSWER YES OR NO. YES = 1 POINT NO = 0 POINTS

          1. Does the piece have sentimental value?

          2. Does the piece provoke fond family memories?

          3. Is it inherited?

          4. Is it made with that old time quality?

          5. Is the piece unique or irreplaceable?

          6. Is it a style you like?

          7. Does it bring you personal pleasure to visualize this piece restored?

          8.  Will you be able to use or display the piece when it's restored?

          9. Do you feel you'll be preserving a part of history?

          10. Will you be passing this piece down to your children or family?

          WHAT DOES YOUR SCORE INDICATE?

          0-3

          ADVICE:

          People who score in this range typically have pieces they aren't sentimental about and may have purchased second-hand. Investing in a quality restoration and its longevity is a decision to be made based on one's love for their piece, its uniqueness, any potential value it may hold, and whether or not its quality justifies expert level restoration or repair. If your piece is easily replaceable and you aren't meaningfully attached to it, we recommend donating it and finding another comparable piece.

          4-6

          Advice:

          People who score in this range are often very fond of the piece(s) they want to restore because of its beauty, quality, and in some cases, its historic value.
          Ask yourself, 0-10, do I treasure it enough to invest in its longevity? Another point to consider is the cost of restoration against the replacement cost. If it isn't something you could easily replace and you really like it, then you might consider restoration.

          Oftentimes, families choose items like these to pass on to the next generation. Our Restoration Consultants can help you navigate your options. Contact us here.

          7-10

          Advice:

          There are two types of clients who score 7 or above. The first type often have great sentimental attachment to their piece and want to preserve their family history. The second type are clients who have high-quality, solid wood pieces and understand the replacement versus restoration cost, factoring in the quality of the original piece against today's manufacturing products and standards.
