Are you aware that insurance doesn’t usually cover photo restoration?
One of our clients is a prime example. We recently received boxes of damaged photos from Pat & Larry and gave them and their insurance company an estimate to scan and restore them all. The insurance company, like many others, will only cover either the cost of the original film and developing or the costs to scan them all. They will NOT pay to restore all of the damaged photos. Many wonder the value of a scanned damaged photo. Many of the photos that got wet are very curled. It takes some persistence and TLC, but we were able to scan them all.
One of our Denver clients called us with the risk of disaster on his mind. Bruce gave us a call to scan all of his photos at high resolution (600 dpi) and to save them all on an external hard drive so that he can store them all in his safety deposit box. We are also transferring all of his family videos and discs so that he has a backup.
Save your photos before disaster strikes!
Last month we encouraged you to locate all of your photos. This month we encourage you scan all of your print photos, slides, negatives and photo albums.
Many people have their own scanners at home but scanning is very time consuming and can be frustrating if you don’t know the correct settings on your scanner or computer. Leave A Legacy, Inc. is here to rescue your photos. We have the know-how and the equipment to get it done. Most projects are completed at Leave A Legacy in a week to a week and a half. Others bring us a whole estate’s worth of photos to scan and organize. We can help you preserve all of your old images whether they are loose photos, photos in albums, slides, negatives, artwork, you name it. Call Leave A Legacy today and we will discuss all the options for your Legacy project and give you an itemized estimate.
This is really useful, thanks.
