Description of Work: Excellent experience from start to finish - I had three projects done.

Description of Work: Framemasters framed three vintage prints for me. Richard helped me select lovely frames and took my order. He was very pleasant and helpful. The framed prints were ready when promised, and I am very pleased with the quality of the work. I shopped around, and Framemasters has very competitive prices. If I had not selected very expensive frames for two of the prints, my order would have been cheaper. I was very happy with this experience and highly recommend Framemasters.

I paid $37 for that work they did. They were very knowledgeable and had different samples of glass for me to see. They had 3 different kinds of UV glass that I could hold up and see which was going to be the best for my paintings. They gave me good answers over the phone, their prices were very competitive and it was a really good experience. All the other companies had to call and order the glass, but they had it in stock and cut it right there while I waited.
Description of Work: I used Frame Masters last week and they put UV protective glass for 2 paintings.

This has to be one of the best experiences we've ever had with a frameshop. They were courteous, professional, helpful, and inexpensive. They provided excellent advice on frames--including colors, style and matting to use--and they even finished the job about a week before their estimated completion date. The final products look great. I can't recommend this company highly enough.
Description of Work: They replaced the glass in one frame, replaced an entire frame (the previous one had been damaged beyond repair), and we got three new frames for prints/original drawings.

Excellent, from start to finish. All three pieces came out beautifully. The two art etchings were matted perfectly. Richard helped me and was incredibly patient. He offered great advice and helped me pick the matting, the frame material and the glass. There are many options with each. I was a bit overwhelmed, but I was walked through each choice, step-by step. The prices were very fair. The vintage WWII poster turned out great, as well. I was worried, as it had original creases and some aging. It was mounted in such a way, using acid-free material, to not only preserve it, but to also to retain its value. Everyone who see it compliments me on how well it was framed and mounted. Also, the two etchings were framed in less than a week, right before Christmas. I mentioned that I needed them ASAP as they were a gift and they completed the project early.
Description of Work: I had Framemasters frame three pieces for me. Two were original art etchings, that involved custom frames, mountings and glass. The other was an original, vintage World War II poster, which was mounted and framed using archival, acid-free matting.

Communication was great. They called me to let me know that one picture had water damage. Consequently, I elected not to frame it. They were very helpful in assisting me on frame, mat and glass selection. The entire project was completed in a very short time. We are very pleased with the quality of the result.
Description of Work: Had approximately 15 family photos matted and framed

The staff was responsive on the phone when we first called and despite their small shop and limited Sat hours they were very cooperative and insured that everyone got waited on. The work was of the highest quality and was finished on time. Their expertise and selection of materials is outstanding. Price was very reasonable, especially compared with lesser quality at the "chain" craft store operations.
Description of Work: One large mirror was re-framed with new decorative framing, and a lithograph (14"x 11") was dry mounted, matted, framed and covered in glass.

Frame Masters has a great selection of frames and mats and their prices are incredibly reasonable. They did a great framing job and we love the end result. The downside is that they are not convenient if you live near DC and their hours are not weekend-friendly. But the money you save versus a high-quality shop close to DC is worth it. We first heard of them from a photographer at the Torpedo Factory who uses them for all of his work.
