Wow. What an experience. I expected more but all the reviews were years old. I got a Groupon for this establishment, and was supposed to get a 150$ credit towards framing. The piece was small, only 11 x 24, and the most basic black metal frame cost 150$. And if I wanted it matted? Another 150! Just to cut a mat! I left a negative review on Groupon based on the pricing, and the proprietor called back multiple times to tell us that he would not frame our work, and to come pick it up. My girlfriend was apprehensive to go, so I went in her place to pick up the artwork. He refunded our money

I had a retirement shadow box (Police badges) done. When I met John, he took time to review my request and explained what he can and couldnt do. He reached out to a company he knows for some detailed engraving. He stayed in touch with me during the entire process. The finished product was spectacular. I highly recommend this business. Custom framing, detailed work, and great customer service. Thanks John for a job well done.

I cant believe this place! I DO NOT RECOMMEND! I took a small piece of artwork there that somebody gave me along with the Groupon for the place to get it framed. I wanted the absolute most basic frame which was way more expensive than I thought it shouldve been. I told them I wanted to stay under the $150 amount and it seemed to irritate the guy. He wouldnt give me any suggestions and only check prices. Its like he didnt even try to help me. After some price checks I settled on an ugly basic frame and cheap glass, totaling about $160. I wanted a matt, but that woulda put my total

I rarely want to spend the money to get things professionally framed, but sometimes the piece just calls for it. John's store is located near my office, so I went in to check it out one day and I'm so happy I did. Exceptional service, very high quality work and competitive pricing. He is also just a pleasure to work with. I was so pleased and so happy I could support a local small business. I would encourage anyone to do the same.

Excellent service! I didn't want to send my pictures to a random online place. I went to the store, talked to the owner who is a very nice person. Treated my pictures very carefully (with gloves) and made sure he understood 100% what I wanted. Came to pick them up the same day they told me they would be ready (around 2 weeks after). Everything went smoothly, they even included the nails I had to use to hang them. I recommend it and would be coming again for framing.
