BRONZE STATUARY AND SCULPTURE REPAIRS:
We have a “You’re Satisfied” guarantee against fading or discoloration if properly maintained, and a limited guarantee on statutory structural repairs. This includes a surface cleaning and a coating process . The video on this page is just one of our many repairs of bronze statues and outdoor sculptures.
BRONZE OUTDOOR CARE:
Bronze requires regular maintenance, both maintain its luster and to preserve the integrity of the sculpture. Failure to clean will lead to pitting and slow degradation of the bronze. In most cases, simple cleaning and waxing a couple of times a year will do the trick.
