Our experience was fantastic, as it always is. We have been repeat customers for four years now. They have framed many of our treasured pieces like our college and graduate school diplomas. They have also framed our numerous paintings that we have brought home from our travels abroad. They have also fixed framing that was done poorly by other framers we have gone to. Bill and Jean are the owners of this store and they have been in business for a very long time. Their motto is "We can frame anything-- frameable" and it is true. The attention to detail and quality of work are amazing! They also spend the time with you to find the exact frame and matting combination as they want you to be happy with the finished product. I enjoy doing business with this couple, they are a wonderful pair.
Description of Work: The Starving Artist framed five separate items in this order. Three of them were a set of paintings that were quite large approx 30 in x 20 inches. The next was a 13 in x 10 in and the last 13 in x 16in. Each of them had acid free matting and museum quality glass. I also had them put a z bar ( a hanging mechanism) for a large mirror that i had bought that did not have a way to hang it in the orientation that I wanted. The service also included both owners of the store spending a good amount of time with us finding the exact frame and matte color combination that we wanted.
