We are open for Business
Keeping our Staff and Clients Safe
We are adhering to the guidelines established during the COVID-19 crisis which have been provided by the Art Services and Worker Safety Coalition. At our studio, we have developed internal protocols for our employees to address client interactions, working onsite and contactless curbside drop off. Making interactions safe will depend on the client’s participation! We ask that our clients and colleagues adhere to standard social distancing protocols and proper use of face masks during interactions.
We hope our clients understand during this challenging crisis guidelines are evolving quickly and change daily. We cannot overstate that we prioritize the health and safety of our employees and clients with the goal of continuing to provide the high level of fine art conservation and art handling services.
Preservation Arts has put in place to keep our staff and clients safe:
Preservation Arts will contact you in advance to discuss logistics of the site, delivery and shipment details to ensure all protocols are understood and agreed upon.
All of our Conservators and technicians are required to wear PPE and have gone through a safety screening at the beginning of each day including a temperature check. Masks/face coverings are required.
Our vehicle and equipment will be disinfected and sanitized at the start, the end and throughout the work shift.
Our conservators and technician will have personal disinfecting kits to use including hand sanitizer and masks.
Our conservators and technician will call upon arrival to the residence or work site to insure that you are ready for them to work.
If at any time our team feels a situation to be unsafe and could pose a risk of infection, they will call our office and reassess next steps.
Our staff has been broken up into various work pods to ensure we keep anything from spreading.
All personnel have read our safety protocol plan and to insure not only the safety of our staff but also our clients.

Onsite client’s must disinfect and clear space before the arrival of our work team to give them ample room to perform the requested services. If there is not enough space to work safely, then it is expected that our team might reschedule.
