CSOS has been dedicated to the conservation of art and architecture for over 20 years. Our logo, inspired by artist Lorado Taft's figure of Father Time, is a symbol of our goal to save works of art and to help them withstand the test of time so that future generations may enjoy them. CSOS uses the most cutting edge technology available to ensure the satisfaction of our clients and the highest quality conservation treatments for our cultural heritage. In addition to traditional restoration and conservation techniques, CSOS is the first private company in the USA to utilize laser cleaning technology for large scale conservation projects. With our custom designed and custom built laser systems, we offer environmentally friendly and chemical free cleaning of metals, stone, glass, wood, and other substrates with unmatched precision.
