Is there anyone around Boston who restores vintage maps? I've inherited a wall map from the 60's, but it has some tears and water damage and it looks like the previous owner did a bad home repair job with packing tape that made it worse, so I'd like to get it professionally restored.

Not that I have suggestions, but someone who does book restorations probably has the necessary skill set. Maybe ask the BPL who they use for book restoration/preservation.

Could try reaching out to the MBTAgifts store in Cambridge: https://www.mbtagifts.com/

They have a ton of old maps at their store so I'm guessing they know how to handle/restore them, or might know who could.
