The Great Frame Up

Very well. Always a bit expensive but worth it for archival and quality work.

As always, Great Frame Up was just fantastic. The staff are friendly, helpful and patiently took the time to work with me to select exactly the best frames for each piece. It's clear they take pride in their work, creative process and professionalism. Highly recommend.

They were very professional, suggested appropriate timeless framing and protective glass that protect and enhance the art-work without over-powering it. The results were well-done and completed in a timely manner. They are my go-to business for framing.

Great. When the frame requested wasn't available in time, they substituted a frame of higher value for the same price to make our deadline.

The framing is always perfect and they are so helpful in choosing mats an frames, You cannot go wrong with this business.

The work performed has always been stellar and excellent quality. The owners really know their trade very well and are always willing to give an opinion - and usually their opinions are very good! I don't really have an eye for matting or framing, so I rely on their expertise when I go in there for framing services and they haven't steered me wrong yet. We've framed everything from inexpensive photographs that we purchased on vacation to expensive original pieces. Everything has come out perfectly.

Great, the colors and materials used were better than I thought they would be.

I've used them at least 5 times and keep going back.

It was more expensive than I planned on, but maybe I just am not up on how much these things cost. The person I worked with spent a long time trying out different options and we found something my daughter and I were very happy with. They did a meticulous job putting it together, and we were very pleased with the final product.

I really liked how they framed the pieces with the matting and the frame. Their suggestions on matting were superb as well.

We haven't used them

Their quality of craftsmanship was superb. Also, their help in choosing frame and matting was excellent as well!

They did an okay job, but the needlepoint needed to be stretched out a bit more. After framed, there were still unnecessary wrinkles. Also, there were all sorts of restrictions on the "deal" I got. It wasn't exactly bait-and-switch, but it wasn't as good a deal as it seemed at first. Actually, even with my deal, it was VERY expensive, even though it was not a large picture. Finally, the woman who waited on me was not very friendly. I will not go back there.

They did a nice job from what I remember. They did kind of what you'd expect. The price was a little more than we'd expected. We didn't have to wait too long.

I've lived in Madison 30+ years and have found it difficult to find a framing shop I like. I tried many and often felt that an attempt was made to gouge me. The first quote was often fantastically high and only when I indicated that I was willing to walk, was a much more reasonable solution offered. The other problem I encountered was that the framing shop was not good a listening and clearly preferred their choice of frame over mine. To walk away with what I liked usually required me flexing my assertiveness muscle more than I think I should. About five years ago I found the Great Frame Up and have used them about six times. They are a quality framing shop and not cheap, but I feel that their price - performance ratio is solid. They are knowledgable and will offer good advise, yet also listen and willing to work with me. They communicate well and have always kept their delivery date. I highly recommend them.
