I would highly recommend Precious Restorations! Jack was extremely professional & courteous. He repaired the tail on an ivory alligator that was broken in 2 spots. He did a fantastic job for a reasonable price and it was ready for me in less than a week. It’s worth a trip to his shop even just to check out items for sale like his extensive record collection as well as some beautiful jewelry that’s very unique.

Jack and Dana are true artists. They gave me back a part of my childhood and even more importantly, a part of my late Grandma I thought was lost forever. In 1983 my Grams built me a dollhouse. My siblings destroyed it in storage, along with my heart and memories. Two restorative companies turned me down. One even said the dollhouse was kindling and I should throw it away. Enter Jack and Dana, my last hope. They took one look and said YES, it CAN be done. I asked for no changes except if possible, could the windows be glass? Jack advised they may have to rebuild the windows and it might create a change. They were able to do it with no noticeable difference. The time frame and price Jack quoted were spot on, and it was completed earlier than I expected. They were able to tell me what I did not even know: that the roof was cedar and the floors inside hardwood. My Grandma put her time, talent and heart into this gift and I was devastated and in tears when I saw the damage. Jack and Dana kept me informed throughout the process, and were kind, professional and caring. They treated my Dollhouse as it it were their own. They understood how hurt I was to see it damaged and they returned to me the joy, love and pleasure I felt when it was made for me. In truth, their gift meant more than when Grams gave it to me, because I had a Precious gift and it was taken from me and I feared was lost forever. But they returned the gift to me and I do not have the words to describe how talented, caring, respectful, caring and yes, downright PRECIOUS these two EXCEPTIONAL artists are to me. I would trust anything to their tender loving expertise and talents. Jack and Dana: You are a God send and you have made me happier than I have been in this lifetime.

Guys when I tell you these guys are amazing at what they do they ARE!!!. I had lost hope for some of my treasured and loved pieces that are near to impossible to get again. Jack and his team are the most nicest and genuine people you will ever meet he truly shows that he will take care of you and anything you hold dear. I highly recommended you guys go to them for any repairs because they created miracles on my pieces. Definitely glad to have met these amazing people. Will see you guys again soon 👏🏼❤️

I brought in a large 100 year old oil painting of my grandmother when she was 16 years old. It had three major holes in the canvas. I picked up the restoration today. I cannot even see that there had been holes there! And the cleaning brightened the entire painting. I am very, very happy with the quality of work these folks did.

I brought this VERY old and fragile mirror to be repaired after @ one inch of the plaster scrollwork had been chipped off. When I received it back, I could not find the repair work! It’s as beautiful as ever, if not more because the entire frame had been cleaned and touched up. I’m thrilled! Beautifully and expertly repaired.

Can’t say enough great things about Precious Restorations! They did a fabulous job cleaning and varnishing my Nana’s 32 year old paintings! They had been in my aunt’s basement for quite some time and built up a lot of mold on the back side. Amazingly, it was all cleared up when I picked them up! They made my Nana’s paintings look as if she just painted them yesterday and for that I’m grateful. Thank you!

Jack restored a precious family treasure that I feared would be impossible to bring back to life. While not a valuable antique or particularly unique piece, Jack understood the sentimental value and treated my Stan Laurel statue as the priceless piece it is to me. His craftsmanship and artistry are superb. His customer service and care are second to none. I highly recommend Precious Restorations.

Precious Restorations exceeded my expectations! I recently took in a 120 year old painting (portrait) for repairs - needed a 6” rip repaired. Jack did an excellent job on the repair. This painting has had prior damage/repair work done. When looking at the painting, it is very evident that Jack’s repair work is significantly better than any of the prior repair work. Fully recommend Precious Restorations. So grateful!

Jack did an amazing job of not just repairing a hole in an oil painting canvas but he did it so artfully that you can’t tell a hole was ever there. He was able to restore the beauty of the painting . They also cleaned the frame and made it look so much brighter and that helped to accent the painting even more. Would highly recommend!Plus he has a very cool shop with all sorts of vintage items in it!

Jack did a beautiful job of repairing a treasured top for a garden table - concrete and mosaic glass tiles. I took him some large chunks and a bag of hundreds of shards. You have to closely examine it now to see the repairs. Good as new.Also his shop is as neat as a pin.

Jack Marble of Precious Restorations is an artist. Our grand dog had an accident and destroyed our beloved Lladro porcelain mandolin player. After picking up the mess of 50 broken pieces and shards of porcelain, I took the piece to Jack. Upon first examination he said the piece was beyond repair. After some convincing, he glued the piece up into the most beautiful facsimile of itself, almost a mosaic, if you will. Our amily treasure of 45 years is now proudly returned to its place of honor. Jack is not only an artist, he is a compassionate artist who understands our needs and reasons for restoring precious items. I categorically recommend Precious Restorations to anyone for any kind of repair!

Precious Restorations did an amazing job on this Santa Claus made of resin. It was a special gift that was given to my mother-in-law. Thanks to Jack I don’t have to tell her it was ever broke! 😁

My favorite Palm Tree Lamp was badly damaged during a move. I brought it in hoping they could help. Thankfully they did an amazing job repairing it. I can’t even tell where it was broken. Thank you so very much!

This ring dish was shattered - I couldn’t tell you how many pieces. I went to Jack in hopes that he could help and I’m blown away. The way he was able to piece this back together is truly masterful. I’m glad to know there is someone with his skill in the Charlotte area.

Amazing spot for vinyl, comics and vintage artifacts. Vinyl from all genre and dollar bin wit alot great gems. The owner Jack is the coolest dude. Definently check this spot out

Found Jack & PRAAR from a google search. I was looking to have a family heirloom brought back to life - a pie safe over 150 years old. Jack was awesome to work with and very responsive. The final result exceeded my expectations and Im a very picky person. My mother, who had the pie safe before me, now wants it back because it is so stunning. Amazing job to Jack - youre an artist. I would absolutely recommend him. The before & after pictures (before picture - dark walnut stain with cream painted tin)

Theyve done a thoughtful and skilled restoration of two pieces of ceramic for me. I cannot find where theyve restored these beautiful pieces. In addition to their skilled restoration work they offer a great selection of LPs, jewelry and sundry collectibles. I highly recommend them. Very friendly, well informed, talented and happy to assist.

Large selection of vinyl records, CDs and various vintage goods. I recommend to all fans of the old school style!

Jack repaired an antique ceramic goose that had been broken. He did a wonderful job and it is totally restored! Our family thanks you!

Jack and his team repaired my resin statue on top of being friendly, engaging and showing attention to detail. Not only did they repair the break but they did a wonderful job with the paint job as well. Thank you! I plan on returning and highly recommend this spot for resin and statue repair. Thank you!

Had the pleasure of working with Jack. For Mothers Day I had him restore and repaint a lawn statue of Mother Mary. Jack was super professional, communicated, and even got it done faster then he promised. All while charging a fair price. Then the quality of the work...it was fantastic! Was accurate of the religous meaning and the coloring....really good quality artwork. Would reccomend to anyone. Thanks again and will be back!

These guys do phenomenal work.I was very impressed with the end results.

I was completely ignored in this store. I went over to the case that held several display racks of rings and thought they were beautiful and they had a wide array of styles, but neither of the owners/workers acknowledged that I was at the counter. I walked to the next set of displays and a young couple walked up to the exact spot I was standing and both people behind the counter jumped right up and asked if theyd like to see any rings in the case. Every single other person in this store was treated well and given the attention they deserved... I can see from ALL the other 5 star reviews that this is an oddity, but I wont be coming back.

Great shop, little bit of everything, some great bargains, friendly owners and customers.

Precious Restorations recently did a beautiful job restoring our B&H antique parlor lamp. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable about his craft. Such a wonderful experience, you could not have a better team working on your antiques. Jack cares as much as you do about your pieces and which is a sign of a great company.

Highly recommend for art restoration! I purchased an antique Chinese screen and brought it in for cleaning and restoration. They did a wonderful job and Im so pleased with how it turned out! If you have an art piece that needs cleaning or repair... do not hesitate to bring to Precious Restorations!

Jack repaired an Anthony Freeman McFarland 1970 fox figurine whose ear had been broken off. I had tried to repair myself, but only succeeded in getting a buildup of super glue but no repair. Jack said the glue removal would be the most time consuming process. A week later, voila. A repaired fox with no evidence of glue or a break, and artfully applied gilt paint. No one would ever see where the repair was done. The work was very affordable and I so appreciate Jacks craftsmanship. I highly recommend this business.

Jack has a magic wand. I sent him a bird napkin holder in pieces and he returned it to me looking brand new! It is truly magical. Thank you so much. I couldn’t recommend Precious Restorations more. 5 stars is not enough!

The term museum quality restoration is often overused. Jacks work actually does meet that standard. I have an 18th century Chinese export porcelain teapot that had chips on the lid and spout. Jack repaired it for a very reasonable price. Even though I knew exactly where the chips had been, I could not see where the repair ended and the original began. The workmanship was absolutely flawless. Recently he repaired the cracked lid on an 1836 soup tureen. Again I could not see where the repair had been done. It looked flawlessly original, and this crack had been accumulating dirt for at least a century. Dont expect overnight work. This quality takes time, and Jack will have to be satisfied with his own workmanship before he will return the item to you. But it is worth the wait, and I continue to be amazed at how modest his prices are for this level of quality. If you have a valuable antique that needs restoration to its original condition, I dont know of any place that can equal Precious Restorations.

What wonderful customer service. This family owned business is exceptional. Jack is following in his amazing dads footsteps with high quality repairs and restoration of lamps, furniture, almost anything you need repaired. The selection of products in the store changes daily and is always worth a look. The album selection is extensive. Their prices are reasonable.

I collect vinyl records and went into Precious Restorations because I saw the sign out front. This is an awesome place! I cant believe I had never been there before. Ive already been twice in the last two weeks. Jack, the owner, is a super nice guy and immediately made me feel welcomed. Weve already had some great conversations. He has a nice collection of records as well as other antiques and collectibles. I definitely recommend taking some time on a Saturday and going in there to just browse around.

Outstanding experience!I trusted Precious Restorations Art & Antique Restoration with long needed repairs to a beloved family member, a (Bisque type) porcelain doll circa 1940s named “Alice,” which belonged to our dearest Mom.Jack’s expertise, superb work, and obvious care for our precious “Alice” was exceptional. Because of Jack’s (and his staff’s) eminent work, “Alice” has been restored to her former glory! “Alice’s” hair was beautifully braided, to boot.My sincere thanks and appreciation.

I never noticed this place which is a stand alone shop in Matthews, until recently. I needed an antique chair and 3 legged table that belonged to my great grandmother repaired. No one else wanted to do it. I took it the Precious Restorations and Jack did a fantastic job. He was quick, the pieces look great and the prices were reasonable. He was a total professional.I also have to say a word about his shop. What a great find this was! Its filled with little treasures - old records, comic books, antique jewelry, vintage rock posters - all sorts of cool and quirky stuff. Im so glad I found it. Well definitely be back since they get new stuff all the time. Just sorry that it took me several years to finally stop in!

Are there other places in Charlotte to buy records? Yes, but let me be the first to tell you that Precious Restorations is the best. Other records store usually overprice their used stuff, not here. The prices are fair and the selection never disappoints. If I want to buy records this is the first place I go to. Also, Jack (the owner) is very nice and welcoming. Every time I come here we usually have a wonderful chat. Check this place out and you wont be disappointed.

Jack restored my wifes curio cabinet that belonged to her mother. It had been poorly repaired more than once in its past. It was not a high dollar antique but high in sentimental value. Jack treated it with care and respect. The work was excellent! He is truly an artist. A real pleasure to deal with and reasonable prices! Recommended without reservation.

Jack Marble is so very helpful. His work is superb and his customer service is engaging. If he says hell do it, he does it. I had a cheap mug that was chipped and a precious keepsake from a dear friend. It came back to me perfect again.

Im so happy I found Precious Restorations. I have some midcentury dining chairs that were wobbly, coming apart and brought them in for Jack to assess. Jack was so incredibly warm and friendly, and knew just what to do. He fixed and reinforced the chairs, and 6 months later weve been using them daily and theyve stayed in perfect condition since Jack fixed them, even better than when I first bought them. I thought I was going to have to replace them but Jack saved them! Thank you so much Jack!!!

Price was excellent. work is fantastic. Cant see the damage that Jack repaired for us. Will use again and do highly recommend.

Took a very old piece from a family nativity set to be repaired. Great job. So happy I found Precious Restorations. Ill be taking other pieces to be repaired. Thanks a million!!

Cool little paintings and antique repair in matthews... has a ton of cool vintage and retro stuff to check out.... who knew!? Awesome selection of vinyl and comic books.... nice guy at the counter... he showed me some of his work.... guy is an artist...anyway bought some records looked around for 20 minutes.... still gotta go back and see what i missed

Excellent work on my prized lamp that was damaged in a move. Also rewriting of that lamp and its partner. Sooooo happy to have them restored! Friendly, helpful, professional service. Fair pricing (I’m a ring-aholic and bought s few I couldn’t resist!). I will def come back again and highly recommend their repair/restoration services.

Owner Jack has a great shop here.He was working on a lamp during my visit. I went in to just browse. Bought a long out of print record and two beer advert church keys for less than $20.Great, great shop. Awesome mixture of stuff for sale here.He said restoration is his passion, watching him work on that porcelain lamp, I can see it is.VISIT this place!!!Update 6/21/18Had to use Jacks servicesUS Customs damaged a wood carving my wife brought back from Jamaica, picture is here withing Google pictures.Wouldnt think of anyplace else.Jack did a phenomenal job!!!

I used Precious Restorations while I lived in the Charlotte area for a small table repair and refinish. Jack and Jack Jr (owner I think) were simply a joy to work with. Then I moved to Tennessee. I have since brought Jack 3 pieces to work on - my wifes china (cup and saucer restored perfectly after a moving accident), a 150+ year old family heirloom rocking chair (missing arm rest matched and replaced amazingly) and a small porcelain sculpture (repaired chip that is undetectable). I can not give higher marks to Jack and his father. Great team, great business and great service.

Jack Marble is a true MASTER in the art of restoration!!! One of the two items I brought to Jack we called puzzle pieces since the top of the item had been broken into so very many small intricate pieces. What a challenge it must have been! The result of his work is absolutely phenomenal! I couldnt believe my eyes when I came to pick up Puzzle pieces - perfect beyond belief! Jack is truly amazing! He is a professional, personable, very skilled and talented artist !!! Both items were restored to their original beauty. I also enjoyed the ambiance of his shop! I cant say enough good things about his work. I am so impressed with the quality of his work!!! I am so pleased - it was/is so worth the travel!!!

The team at Precious Restorations has exceeded my expectations on the work of three different antique pieces. I would highly recommend them. If you have any doubts ask to see before and after photos!

Great experience! I took one of my mother’s favorite pieces, a statue of a dancing lady. This sculpture meant a lot to her as it was given after she fought her way back from hospitalization. It was broken in half, but within a short turnaround time, not only did he seamlessly mend the broken statue, but restored it as if it were new! Would recommend to anyone wanting to have their precious items restored. Also a very interesting antique store

Brought in a broken fiberglass antler from a big restoration hardware deer head. I wasnt sure it could even be fixed. Jack did a superb job mending and painting the break. Good as new. Thanks Precious Restorations youre the best!

Wonderful customer service and such a friendly place to visit. Also has very reasonable prices on the antiques being sold. I would recommend to anyone looking to purchase antiques or looking to have antiques restored.

Wonderful customer service, super friendly and did a great job putting our ceramic horse back together! Also is a great store to look around, it has so many unique gift ideas.

Excellent repairs on several pieces of pottery. Very satisfied, would highly recommend to anyone!

Great eclectic shop with records, used CDs, collectibles and comics.

They are awesome! I broke the same vase twice (its more of a piece of art) and they were able to make it look like new!

Recently took two broken lamps from Italy to these guys, the repairs were spot on! Kudos to these guys and the work they do!

Though initially hesitant to leave my broken platter for repair, thinking it could never be the same, I could not be more pleased with results - absolutely amazing . . . perfect!

I am impressed with whether the human being when he wants to do things well, and the talent that these people have in their hands filled me with happiness when I saw my Angel restored from his right hand and his wings again arranged, a thousand thanks to them there are no words no fortune in this life, thank you 🙏
