OUR SERVICES
We offer a wide set of services and always interested in new opportunities. If you don't see what you are looking for and it is related to Custom Framing, give us a call and we can discuss if something we would be willing to pursue.
Here is a general list (mostly complete) of our current services we offer:​
-
Traditional custom picture framing (with pre-finished moulding)
-
Handcrafted moulding using domestic and exotic hardwoods (and softwoods)
-
Partial custom framing, just the components you need
-
Picture and mirror repairs (failed joints, dust cover replacement, glass replacement, etc.)
-
Full support of "Bring Your Own Materials" to help keep costs low - frame, glazing (glass or acrylic), matting or other supplies
-
Frame resizing/joining: See a frame at a thrift store or estate sale you like? We can resize it
-
Preservation, Conservation and Economy framing options, we consider ourselves pragmatic framers

Float frames
-
Circle and oval mats
-
Fabric covered mats
-
Complex/multiple window mats, although we do not have a Computerized Mat Cutter/CMC, so we will have some limitations here
-
Oversize pictures (mat cutting size is limited to 48" on any dimension)
-
We sell any raw materials and cut if needed (glass, mat, moulding, supplies, etc.)
-
Picture shipping services (up to a point, we do not do wood crating/freight, but most pictures that can ship through USPS, UPS or Fedex, we can securely pack them for shipping and ship it for you if you want
-
Rush orders, provided we have all the materials, we have been known to turn around orders in 1 day
-
Partner with photographers, artists and interior designers (locally and across the USA, create a frame unique to your "brand"
-
We do have some art (pop-culture, automotive, and things we just like) for sale or available for purchase (framing optional)
-
Insured for "items in trust" (proof of value required)
-
We will teach you how to do any step of the process, just ask (cost of materials only)!
-
Probably more...but this is my initial brain dump.
​
Some other areas we have planned for the next 12-24 months (sooner if someone requests it):
-
Epoxy inlay handcrafted moulding
-
Canvas stretching
-
Canvas Strip-lining (expanding the size of an unstretched canvas so it can be stretched)
-
Laser engraving: In-house metal/wood plates or directly on the frame
-
Linen backing posters
-
High resolution printing (artwork and photography)
-
French mats
-
Display acrylic boxes
​​
What do we not do?
-
Well, to start with, our shop does not have a bathroom
-
Freehand/complex designs for mats (which would require a Computerized Mat Cutter/CMC)
-
Try to "upsell" you - we will give you likely a price which will be hard to match with exceptional quality regardless of the value or how much you are spending...now, I can't guarantee it matches your budget or expectations...
