Q: Why is custom framing so costly?
A: The materials in custom framing can range from modestly
priced to fairly costly. High quality custom framing takes time and
a good deal of experience to insure the best results.
Q: Why does my artwork appear to be wavy or rippled in its frame
and what can be done about it?
A: Art on paper that has not been permanently mounted to
additional board material (ex. foamcore) can be affected by the
environment in which it resides (ie: one's home). Normal seasonal
humidity may contribute to compromise overall flatness of paper.
Also, art created with wet media (ex. water color paint on paper)
will often cause paper to be rippled when proper preventative
techniques are not followed. While it might be acceptable to
mount inexpensive art such as posters, it is not always
recommended for highly valuable or irreplaceable art. Please
refer to our downloadable pdf file for more information regarding
flatness issues.
Q: How long does it take to complete a custom frame order?
A: Our shop has a standard turn-around time that averages 3 – 4
weeks. Certain materials and larger scale projects can further
increase the length of time necessary for completion.
While we generally maintain a “first come, first served” policy, we
do reserve some flexibility and we can accommodate the need for
faster service. Some treatments and solutions allow us
the ability to turn around framed pieces "while you wait" or same
day.
Q: Do you frame art in “clip” frames or do you offer any other
type of “frame less” presentation treatments?
A: We do not frame art in any type of “clip” frame. We feel that it
is a poor framing solution and is best left to people who like to
“do it themselves.” One possible alternative solution we do offer
are very sleek, acrylic "box” frames. Come to our shop to see a
sample!
Q: Will you mat and install my art into a frame I supply?
A: Yes. If the materials supplied are deemed stable enough we
are happy to utilize outside materials.
Q: Do you offer any in-home art hanging services?
A: We do not offer any hanging services at this time. Although we
do not have any particular company we would recommend, we
suggest looking for art handlers who might be able to help.
Q: I don’t want to spend a lot to frame my large (30” x 40”)
poster. Is there a way to frame it inexpensively?
A: We do have some less expensive solutions for framing large
items. Unfortunately the costs of materials and the labor involved
in “framing large” do tend to be exponentially more costly. The
base price for framing a 30” x 40” poster with reg. glass and acid-
free backing would be approximately $175.00.
Q: Do you give volume discounts?
A: Discounts are not regularly given. However, certain conditions
may open up this option for negotiation.
Q: Do you offer any ready made frames?
A: We offer a selection of well-made, ready made frames in
standard sizes: 8” x 10”, 8 ½” x 11”, 11” x 14”,
16” x 20” and 18” x 24”.
