How does custom framing work?
- Custom framing is a personal service. It starts with an in person consultation!
- We have open hours that you can pop in at any time with your item! We discuss options and finalize your choices and provide several quotes for you to then choose from depending on your budget.
- We do NOT provide quotes on projects sight unseen (we can sometimes tell you a very rough estimate, but not always), because there are too many variables to provide an accurate quote. So please-come in with your item and we can answer all your questions!
Why custom framing?
- The right frame can have a big impact on the look of an item, making it more polished and finished in a way that accents your decor. Think of it like custom furniture for your walls! Quality and unique presentations of your wall decor for your home is what we do.
- It protects your valuable pieces – UV protective glass slows down the processes of degradation
Do we work with customer frames and materials?
In order to control the quality and structural integrity of the service, we typically do not work with customer materials. *However, there’s no harm in bringing in a solid wood frame you’d maybe like to work with so we can inspect and assess whether we can fit the frame AS-IS with our materials (our matting). We reserve the right to decline if we don’t think your frame will be structurally sound or if the installation is beyond the scope of what we typically do with our equipment.
*For our own safety, We do NOT re cut customer glass, mat, or frame using our equipment.
We DO offer custom cut matting using our high quality mats to fit your frame, with regular service/install fees applying
*We do NOT sell framing supplies separately. We sell the framing service including installation.
CAN YOU “JUST” PUT A WIRE ON IT?
Maybe. It is our discretion whether we think we can safely use our hanging hardware into your frame- and we don’t guarantee its function/success if its NOT our shop’s frame.
*We have to see the frame in person and reserve the right to decline the job if we don’t think it would be structurally sound with a wire.
How long does it take?
A custom frame order takes aprox. 3 weeks depending on the size and quantity of the order. We can often accommodate a shorter turnaround time (determined on a case by case basis) to be discussed at the time of ordering . *Please note that custom orders that need a very tight turnaround may be subject to a rush fee. Keep in mind custom framing is a personal service, not a product- and we need the time to complete the service correctly to our standards.
Questions? Contact us – we’d be happy to speak to you about anything you would like to frame.
Please note: Because we are a small shop we do have size restrictions. We cannot take in paper works that exceed 40″x60″ inches including mat borders. We can go a bit bigger with stretched canvas. If you have a large work and you aren’t sure if we can do it, please call us first before coming by with the work. We do not offer shipping, delivery or installation services. We also do not offer art appraisal services.
Thank you.
