Services
Custom Mirrors
We create custom mirror frames that transform ordinary mirrors into statement pieces. Our designers work with homeowners and interior decorators to match any decor style, from western rustic to modern contemporary. Using premium materials and precise craftsmanship, we ensure each mirror frame complements both the space and the artwork it reflects.
Archival Framing
Our archival framing protects valuable artwork using acid-free materials and UV-protective glazing. This specialized technique prevents deterioration while maintaining visual clarity. We follow museum standards for conservation framing, ensuring long-term preservation of photographs, documents, and fine art pieces for collectors and institutions.
Photo to Art Transfers
We convert digital photographs into gallery-quality art prints on acrylic, metal, and canvas surfaces. As a certified Larson-Juhl Gallery Moments retailer, we produce vibrant, durable prints that maintain color accuracy and detail. This service is ideal for photographers and homeowners seeking modern display options.
Canvas Stretching
Our professional canvas stretching ensures flawless presentation of printed or painted artworks. We use archival-grade stretcher bars and precise tensioning techniques to prevent sagging or distortion. This service accommodates both small personal pieces and large commercial installations for galleries and artists.
Floater Frames
We design and build custom floater frames that create the illusion of artwork floating within the frame. This contemporary framing solution works with various media types and thicknesses. Our craftsmen ensure perfect alignment and secure mounting while maintaining the frame's subtle, elegant appearance.
