It's a bummber Steve you had such a bad experience with Debi, I have had just
the opposite experience. I have found her restorer to be one of the best I have
ever used, and I have used them all. He does NOT use paint unless he has to and
I have found him to be the one of the best when Paper-backing my 30x40's and
40x60's. I have had him do several piece worth 10k and more and the work he has
done has been truly amazing. Although her prices are somewhat expensive, I
believe vou get what you pay for and she has redone pieces for me if I wasn't
happy, so my experience have been very positive.
Regards,
Todd Spoor
