FACL provides art conservation and painting restoration services to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS, Mormons) including the following departments: History Department, which includes the Church History Museum, Building Dept., Missionary Exhibits Depts and the Temple Department. Services are provided on a continual basis, even traveling to Hawaii and London, England as their art conservation expert. (See video below from a recent trip)
Other clients for whom we do work include the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP or International Pioneer Museum), The University of Utah, Utah State University in Logan and the Springville Art Museum in Springville, UT. We also meet with numerous private collectors and individuals who may only have one family heirloom portrait. See in this video about our background:

When we get a call to restore a painting, clean a painting, fix artwork, repair a rip in a canvas painting, analyze a painting we schedule a personal visit to look over/evaluate the artwork at your location, offering a estimate of the work up front at no charge. Then, if the work is to be done, we offer PU/Delivery to your home or office. The work’s schedule, however, needs to coordinate with our other project’s pick up and delivery in the Provo/Salt Lake City Area.
Call around. Call the institutions listed on this page. We are sure you will hear great things about our service, quality work and ease of working with us.
We also do art conservation and painting restoration work in the Las Vegas area, throughout Southern CA, we do a lot of work in the Carmel/Monterey area. We have work shipped to us from clients all over the Western US and we work on murals nationally.

Murals, street art, and well done graphics, are indeed art, not just graffiti. they should be protected from vandalism and preserved – they often add color and life to an otherwise blank, dull looking wall!
Thanks for connecting with me Ray. I called and we’re going to connect the next trip to Salt Lake City in a couple of weeks.
I have a lithagraph dated 1881 by J G Brown. It has a few minor blemishes (two small tears that were taped along the edge, and turned yellow).
I would like to know what it would cost to fix, and I know that you would have to look on it.
Thank you, Ray………………cell # 435-994-1411
It amazes me that paintings and murals can be restored so well.
I called around looking for someone to help me with a family portrait. I got Scott’s name again and again from museums, curators everyone. I was not disappointed. He was very personable, answered all my questions and the work from his lab was wonderful. The pick up and delivery service made working with him very convenient. Thank you for allaying my fears and making this a great experience for our family.

Scott is working on a large historic preservation site with my company right now… he was brought in as the mural expert. He’s been great to work with and we’re thankful he’s on this difficult project.
Good to know you are available in my area. And I feel fortunate to be able to call THE expert who these other large institutions trust.

Artworks are indeed to be valued and restored. I think you have a very noble business for doing that.
We’ve found that Scott is easy to work with and we appreciate his attentive service. He goes the extra mile to help us and he stays in communication… a very nice feature.
We, at the Utah State University Museum, have felt isolated away from professional help over the years and we are thankful to meet up with Scott who will go the extra mile to take care of our needs and be an asset to our collection care.
Our organization is named in the video and we love working with Scott. He provides excellent quality professional service not only to us but we get good reports back from people whom we refer.
We had a pioneer family portrait that was damaged. It wasn’t worth anything but Scott treated us like we were important clients, answered all our questions and did amazing work fixing a huge rip in the face and making it disappear. Wow.
I liked your interesting video very much. It touches on your work with all the main players in the Salt Lake City area and inspired confidence in your abilities.
I am beginning to depend on Scott when evaluating new works of art I am thinking of buying. The insights and questions he asks don’t even enter my mind. And, he hasn’t charged me yet! His conservation work has been first class.
Everything you said ahead of time about our project happened as promised and you delivered with excellent service and excellent quality work. Thank you.
Thanks Adrian. I too have been enjoying our discussions.
I want to say that working with Scott is easy. He is not some uppity sophisticated professional who talks down to you. He’s attentive and personal and I have LOVED working with him on our family’s paintings.
Thanks Anderson for the comment and I too am enjoying meeting with you and discussing whatever comes up. The Paul Lauritz was not in your plans yet you trusted us to make it perfect when your experience in the past was not up to your expectations. I’m gratified that your reactions to our conservation work has been so enthusiastic. Thank you for trusting us.
I missed calling you on some projects over the years even though I knew of you. I’m repenting! Working with you these last few months has been a breath of fresh air compared to my previous experience.
I was calling around about the cleaning of a large painting we own and I called a local restorer who told me to call you! Wohoa! I guess you are the man! When will you be in town next? Nice video, btw. It gave me a good idea about your extensive experience and gave me confidence to contact you.
