Director of Art Preservation Services Michigan, LLC, Ted Marolla, has over 20 years of experience in the art services industry specializing in presentation, restoration, and installation. His expertise in digital restoration of antique photographs brought him to APS, where he has worked for 10 years to aid victims of fire, flood, or natural disaster.

I was impressed by the company's prompt response and their ability to quickly arrange an appointment that fit my jam-packed schedule. Their attentive handling of my possessions and willingness to adjust the arrangements to my preferences left me feeling completely satisfied. The staff was affable and accommodating, and the cost was fair. I intend to enlist their services again and recommend them to those in my circle.

I had an incredible experience with Art Preservation Services. They completed a significant project at my home by cleaning multiple art pieces and enhancing the placement and hanging of several others. The transformation was remarkable. I would not hesitate to hire them again and give them my highest recommendation.

Without a doubt, I would rate them a perfect five stars across every single measure, including work quality, professionalism, responsiveness, value, and punctuality. They promptly answered my outreach within an hour or so, booked a schedule for the job just a few days later, and asked for verification of the requirements before coming. They confirmed the time beforehand and informed me about their arrival on their way, and they arrived prepared to complete the work both efficiently and professionally. Throughout the process, we worked together to ensure that all placements were spot on and that I was satisfied. They even handled some large and heavy items and accomplished the installation of two challenging bathroom mirrors flawlessly. Overall, they did a superb job, and I would strongly recommend their services.

Ted has an exceptional ability to arrange things perfectly. When I was relocating to my new home, his guidance about placing the art was invaluable and eased my stress. Despite the absence of my couch, Ted was meticulous about the height and placement of the artwork, making it feel much more like a home as soon as it was all set up.
