They did an excellent job cleaning the frames and glass. The pictures were secured in the frames and new wire was installed for hanging. They also included the picture hanger and nail.

The girl who helped me was knowledgeable and patient and I was very pleased with the final outcome. I receive compliments on the artwork all the time and I credit that to the great framing.

I'm not sure if it is a chain or a mom and pop place, but the gentlemen who helped found exactly the right one. He did a great job framing it.

"Thank you for your review containing so many A grades. We are sorry to hear that you would not use us again. You had a beautiful watercolor framed by us using a high quality, 1 1/2" bronze gold frame that averaged $14.00 a foot in price. We added two acid free paper mats, acid free mounting, as well as conservation clear glass. Your price ended up being about $250.00 plus sales tax. We understand that custom services can be more expensive but so worth the end result that is tailored just for you. The way your art was framed will not only keep it preserved from yellowing and fading but should last you for years to come. Please consider returning with your next project. Perhaps if you will give us a budget, we will try to show you some framing that will be within your price range."

This was a perfect transaction. I had an antique Persian watercolor that had been dropped and the frame was damaged. The repairs were well done and finished promptly. I have been taking things to the Framesmith for more than ten years and have always been pleased with the results and service. This is the shop to go to if you want things to be done with careful attention to detail.
Response from The Framesmith

"We're so glad you were happy with your completed order. Frame repair is a dying art and certainly is time consuming when done correctly. Our expert framer, John, is a wizard when it comes to repair and restoration. Especially with an older piece, being able to retain the original frame enhances the overall look of the art. Thank you for your continued patronage. We look forward to serving you again."

Great, we are very happy with the quality of the work that was done. The puzzles ranged from 500 pieces to a rather large 1000 piece puzzle of a Monet painting. All the materials (frame, glass, and mat) are very high quality.
The precision of the work  was very impressive as well. There entire puzzles are visible, which is exactly what we were hoping for.
They are proudly on display in our living room, breakfast nook, and formal dining room. We have been quite pleased in interacting with everyone at The Framesmith.

Response from The Framesmith

"Just looking at the complexity of your puzzles, it's amazing anyone could complete them, especially that last Monet! You have been so patient and kind to work with. Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive and informative review. Can't wait to see what you two will have completed next!"

It went very well. I had heard good things about Framesmith from a friend who received raves about them from her realtor. I knew they were not going to be as inexpensive as going to Michael's, but I feel I got what I paid for. They delivered the pieces on time and suffice it to say they turned out fabulous. My daughter was speechless. I would not hesitate to use them again.They were very friendly, helpful and meticulousl.
Response from The Framesmith

We are proud of our custom framing experience,service and quality and we strive to do our best each and every time. Please come back and see us again soon.

They are really really good. I really like them. The price was bit high. They were very nice and their work is very very good and of high quality. They made the frame look so beautiful and then when I went there to find out like what frame I should use and what to do, they are very friendly. They made a very good choice along to agree as well so I really enjoy them. I would use them again in the future.
Response from The Framesmith

"We very much enjoyed working with you on your project. While you selected our highest end moulding and the very best museum glass, you were able to save a bit by taking advantage of our Angie's List member discount. Your custom framing consisted of the very best we have to offer and because you chose so wisely, the end result was fantastic. We look forward to seeing you again!"

They were extremely courteous and professional.  They looked at the poster and suggested a few fixes which they implemented.  The framing quality was superb.  Since I was going to be tied up over Labor Day they even beat the time they were going to finish.  I also talked with them about another project and they admitted they did not have much experience with my specialized problem and suggested I look elsewhere.  That is the kind of honesty that is refreshing.  I would recommend them to everyone.
Response from The Framesmith

"We were more than happy to finish your project early. While we have 30 years experience in the industry, occassionaly we encounter something, such as art appraisal, that is best handled by certified professionals outside the custom framing field. We will always strive to give you the most honest, and best, advice possible. We look forward to seeing you again."

They evaluated the painting and very promptly presented choices of frames that made the final selection quick and easy.
  They mounted and framed the canvas with perfection. The quality of work was exceptional. They did a great job of preparing it for 
  shipment. The completion of the project met and beat my requirements. Very pleasant to work with.

They consulted with us about where we would use the framed art and then offered alternative ideas for our consideration.  They are obviously well experienced and offer a wide range of framing materials.  From the displays in their shop, they also have framed art and art prints for sale.
Our choices were recorded, pricing was determined and an estimated completion date was given.  Their work was completed on time and is beautifully executed.  We felt we received good value for the cost of their work.

Response from The Framesmith

"Thank you for taking the time to review us on Angie's List. We enjoyed working with you and thought all of your framing turned out beautifully. It was especially gratifying to be trusted with the children's book as it was obviously a cherished keepsake. We look forward to serving you in the future."

I needed to have an old mirror re-framed that was in the house in which I grew up 60 years ago. It was so old it fell off the wall and ruined the frame but did not break the mirror. The great people at Framesmith picked out a great frame and did a wonderful job of saving the mirror, so that I can pass it along to my kids!! The price was not inexpensive, but it was certainly competitive--The mirror was about 33" X 43". They also told me not to use wire to hang the mirror, as had been done originally. They further gave me the proper hooks and nails with which to hang it. This was valuable information for someone who rarely does this sort of thing and has no expertise in that area.
Response from The Framesmith

"we are so glad you were happy with our service and our quality. Custom framing is a long lasting, valuable investment. We're also glad to provide the proper hanging advice and tools as we do for each client we serve. Thank you for taking the time to review us on Angie's List. We look forward to serving you again!"

I took a treasured watercolor painting that my grandmother made 100 years ago to the Framesmith (after checking Angie's List).  The frame and painting were both in deterioration.  The frame had a twisted ribbon molding that had lost a couple of segments. They told me they could take a casting of the molding and replace the missing pieces--which they did, beautifully.  I was amazed. They also recommended a non-acidic paper backing and a u/v filtering front glass, which I approved.  I didn't know what to expect for a price when I went to see them, but was very happy with their figure, especially for their quality, craftsmanship and care.  Highly recommended.
Response from The Framesmith

"(Member name removed) Thank you for trusting us with your treasured artwork. I am so glad you were happy with the restoration results and that you allowed us to add the acid free mounting and UV filtering glass that will protect it from aging for years to come. Hope to see you again soon! Cindy Smith"

Excellent experience.  The people were friendly and helpful in finding a new frame for the copied picture.  The finished work was quality.  The original picture was about 24" x 17" and the copy was just a bit smaller.  Both our grown children enjoyed receiving the picture of their mother, as a child, and her mother.

They do the work on site and gave me a cost on the day I went to look at mat colors.  Employee was very helpful and made suggestions at my request only.  He told me when work would be done (7 days) and I was promptly called on that day for pickup.
They also have a great selection of original art in their store.

I will use them in the future and highly recommend for your art/framing needs.  There were several interesting things from people's family's (fishing lures, etc) that they had put into shadow box frames with photos....very original gift ideas.
Response from The Framesmith

"Thank you for your positive comments, Member. We think it is important that we complete our orders in a timely manner and that we do all of our work on site only using experienced employees. Randy and Cindy Smith are the owners and are very active in the daily details of the business. The art gallery portion of the store is always changing as we buy and sell pieces, mainly original oils. We look forward to seeing you again!"

I took another frame that I have to see if they carried that line, which they did. It looks absolutely beautiful. They were super people. I also took an octagon mirror, which I bough, to have them frame it because it had a crappy frame. I paid around $19 for the mirror and they said that it was worth $250. I will definitely use them again.
