Melanie will work with the client to determine the course of treatment. Before beginning any intervention, she will go over the treatment plan, and give the owner an estimate of the cost and time frame. If warranted, she will also give multiple options for the level of repair: for example, complete restoration or the "archaeological approach", which leaves repairs visible. If the situation changes over the course of treatment, she will consult with the client before making any changes to the initial plan. Photographs will be provided showing the work of art before and after treatment, as well as a treatment report detailing the materials used, steps involved, and advice on long-term care and maintenance.
