Flatsker Fine Art Restoration Testimonials
"I emailed in some photos of broken items. Most places I contacted wouldn't accept the photos, but Flatsker did, and quoted me a repair estimate within 12 hours of my request. I didn't end up using their service (or anyone else's; didn't get the items repaired) but Flatsker was prompt, helpful, and professional. Thanks!"

"This amazing woman is truly a life saver. My apartment flooded and was infected by a toxic mold, which affected a large canvas that was hung on the wall. We were sick, thinking that we had to dispose of a treasured and expensive art piece. The recommendations and the expertise she has cannot be matched. She is extremely trustworthy."

"Melinda is truly amazing!! My Batman statue broke for the 2nd time in twenty years, and I thought this time it was beyond repairing. The piece broke off the base (which itself cracked) and the legs lost quite a bit of plaster. The maquette was a gift for working on the show and I was heartbroken, as it meant so much to me. I'm so glad I (found) and contacted Melinda who quickly got back to me. We met and discussed the repair and she gave me a fair quote and the amount of time she needed to complete the job. And Melinda finished in half the time! The statue looks brand new and she even corrected the repairs made from the first time the statue broke. Melinda is super friendly and very passionate about her work and business. I HIGHLY recommend her! "

"Melinda is a miracle worker! Not only nice but so extremely talented. She restored a painting that was torn by furniture movers in two places. She charged me 1/2 of what others quoted and had it done in a week. There is no chance of seeing the repaired areas on the piece !
She works with all mediums of art , and top museums and galleries but is happy to restore whatever is meaningful to you. Even if it's only valuable to you!!
Highly recommend her !!"

"Words cannot express how thankful I am to Melinda for her outstanding restoration of my sculpture. I was devastated when a cleaning crew knocked over and broke the head and other areas of a sculpture that was created by my Uncle Mario in 1946 after world war II who moved to Mexico for a few years to paint and sculpt. Being that is was over 70 years old I didn't think it could be repaired. I checked on Yelp for Art Restoration and called a few of the places listed. My husband and I went to her workshop. She is such a kind and wonderful person. She went over the entire sculpture showed me areas that I didn't even noticed were damaged and assured me she could do the repair. Today we picked up the piece and OMG couldn't tell it was ever damaged. Perfection. If you want beautiful work at a reasonable price, call or email Melinda Flatsker. One tip when you go to her studio, it's in the back of the property and up the stairs."

"I was moving furniture and put a hole in one of my paintings. I found Flatsker Fine Art Restoration after a quick Google search. Melinda restored the painting perfectly with no obvious signs of damage. I couldn't be happier. She was professional and returned the painting to me exactly when she said she would. I feel so lucky to have found her. She is really the best and her prices are very reasonable."

"I found Flatsker Fine Art Restoration online after a cleaning crew broke a very sentimental large carved wood statue. I did not think it could be put back together, broke in so many pieces. Melinda was very friendly, professional, and after seeing all of the pieces she was working on in her studio, I felt great about leaving it in her hands. I was so grateful to her, and impressed with the results, I could not tell that it was ever broken in pieces."

"Melinda did a fabulous job of restoring an alabaster statue I brought back from Italy. It was crumbling when I opened the box. She saved the piece for me. A great job....I would trust her with any repair."

"I had a spiderman statue repaired after my son broke the fingers off. I was worried about how she might sculpt the missing fingers and match the color... she did it so well. She is professional and has reasonable prices especially for the miracles she performs. She is also really beautiful so I am considering poking a hole in my Picasso just so I have occasion to see her again."

"Melinda has a passion and incredible talent as a restorer and artist. I was impressed with the restoration to an antique figurine that belonged to my family. My clumsiness caused it to fall and break on the ground. Instead of freaking out, I called 10 places to find someone last minute. I couldn't find anyone with a decent price and interest to help, which was frustrating. Luckily, I found Melinda and her business. She did a wonderful job restoring the piece, and me and my family are very happy. I recommend that you bring cash beforehand, and park at the meter across the street. Kester Ave gets annoyingly busy during rush hour. If I need any restoration in the future, she is definitely my girl!"

"Melinda was wonderful! I had an acrylic painting that needing some cleaning and touch ups. She did an AMAZING job of making the painting look brand new again. She was also very sweet, professional, and great at communication. The turnaround time was much faster than I would have thought it would be, and her price was very reasonable. I would absolutely come back to Flatsker for any repair or restoration in the future and will recommend her to my friends."

“I would recommend Melinda Flatsker to anyone. One of my treasured paintings fell off the wall which caused a small tear in the canvas. After Melinda fixed it, the painting looks as good as new. And she did the work in a timely manner and was very affordable and friendly.”
