I frequently recommend Kepler to friends as well. I am always extremely pleased with the quality of the work, the quick turnaround time, and the reasonable price. My latest experience using Kepler Framing, to reframe a small print, was as expected: easy and professional with a beautiful result. Plus, dealing with Ritch Kepler is always a genuine pleasure. I am a client for life!
Description of Work: I have used Kepler Framing numerous times to frame artwork, documents and textiles, both for myself and for my clients (I am an art consultant).

He did excellent work, suggested some things and did the work on time. His price was fair also.

Far better than any reasonable expectation! We called to see if he did this sort of repair, were invited to bring the mirror to him and did so within the hour. He sized up the problem, gave us an estimate of cost and delivery time. We went away happy with the estimates. Less than two days later--much sooner than expected--the mirror was ready for us to pick up. The work was beautifully done and structurally sound. We expect no problems for the next 80 years or so. We'll go back to Kepler framing the next time we need anything framed, for sure.
Description of Work: Our 80 year old mirror, part of a dresser set, parted with its hangers (on the frame, not the wall) and crashed to the floor. The glass survived, but the frame separated completely at two corners. Mr Keppler fixed the frame and installed new hanging hardware.

Rich is a pleasant, straightforward man, and he provided knowledgeable guidance on choices, responsive and flexible. The work was done beautifully and quickly (one week), just as promised. The location (just beyond the one-lane bridge on Macarthur) provided the additional opportunity of stopping by the Bethesda Co-op! Great experience all around.
Description of Work: Rich matted and framed two art prints for me.

I love the framing job. He (Rich) provided good advice. He had it ready in time even with the snow storm that got in the way. I think the frame looks great!
Description of Work: I needed an important document framed (it had sentimental value).

The master framer is really good and helped me choose an appropriate frame. He gave me good advice on what would go well and what won't. The work that he did was superb. I am satisfied with his services and would recommend him to other people. He does framing in the basement and gets lots of business through word of mouth. He did a wonderful job and I wouldn't go to anyone else if there is a job in the future.

I contacted Ritch with a very time-sensitive job, one that I needed turned around quickly. Because he had framed something similar for me recently, and I knew that I wanted the same exact treatment, I was able to give Ritch a heads-up the week before. When I brought in the piece to be framed, he had all of the materials needed already in hand and ready to go. Not only did he do a terrific job, but he completed it sooner than he had originally estimated, within 24 hours. I was extremely pleased.
Description of Work: Framing a large nylon flag, which can be a rather tricky proposition.

Rich returned my call very quickly and we arranged to meet at his home framing shop the next weekend. He was extremely courteous and had very good suggestions on how to frame our prints. The work was completed in less than a week. We won't hesitate to return to him with any framing job in the future.
Description of Work: Rich framed four new prints and re-framed an already framed print that had been done poorly.

I was very pleased with the way the job went. Ritch was very helpful in suggesting frames and mats when I was indecisive, and extremely patient as I made up my mind. When a particular mat I had ordered was unavailable, he called me immediately and was very helpful in suggesting an alternative. The finished product(s) turned out fantastically well, even better than I had imagined. I have had Ritch frame numerous things for me over the past few years (artwork, photographs, textiles) and have always been extremely pleased with the results. I would never go anywhere else! I have recommended him to numerous friends and colleagues as well. He is such a kind, pleasant guy and does very fine work at a very fair price, the best value I have found in the area for the high quality that he consistently delivers.
Description of Work: Three pieces that needed to be float-matted under glass and framed identically (a rather tricky proposition). My request for hanging wires on the reverse of each work to be placed both horizontally as well as vertically (to allow for flexibility in hanging) was cheerfully obliged.
