We are constantly on the phone with experts and consulting our resources because almost every item that needs to be framed needs to be treated differently.

Another thing most people don’t realize, is how complicated properly building a frame can be. It’s amazing when we start putting certain elements of the frame design together, how a piece can “gel” in a magnificent way. Experience and resources of your frame shop make a huge difference in how your work will turn out. Good design can make or break the look of your work. Truth is, chances are we can meet or beat that sale price…even at our normal pricing! Give your local frame shop a chance to bid on your project before you decide to have a clerk frame your precious memories/art. Yes, we are aware of those weekly 50-60% off coupons from the big guys. A common suggestion you hear from us is to bring us your frame you already have, and we can cut a custom mat for it, put some nice glass in it, and Voilà, you have a semi-custom frame on a budget! Expect to pay at least $100 for a custom frame – this is a custom piece of work! That being said, we love helping our customers make something work if it’s possible.

Oh, and have you seen Museum Glass yet? – it’s unbelievable! We can also help you make sure the materials surrounding your art will not ultimately ruin it…wood, glues, sub-par mats, and other factors can destroy over time.Īverage ticket for a custom frame in the US is $225. I can sell you a relatively inexpensive piece of pro-grade glass that has great clarity and UV protection that will help protect your print/artwork. There’s a reason those store-bought frames cost under $10. Here’s the deal: A) Bring in your art/print/photo/object B) we help you choose the perfect design within your budget C) Pay a deposit D) When done, you get to enjoy a custom crafted piece of “furniture for your walls” for generations! Custom framing is here to preserve and display your piece of art, photograph, memory, etc… A study once concluded that the number one reason people didn’t go to a custom framer was because they were anxious about the process.
