Webster Street Picture Frame Co.

Marsha was great to work with. After calling many local places to have a panoramic skyline pic we took from our boat frames with no mat but instead a glass edge to show through to our exposed brick; they hit the nail on the head. The frame looks great, they did a wonderful job and they were willing to negotiate on the price after telling them what some other shops has quoted. I am taking a diploma back today after going over mats and frames. Their selection is great and they are very knowledgeable.

I gave this review 5 stars because of the high quality, thoughtful attention to detail, and the overall experience of purchasing frames at this small business, established in the Bucktown neighborhood over twenty years ago and run by Marsha and Richie Pardo. Both have artistic talent to match color and style to the work.
Many picture frame stores will try and oversell you, but Webster Street Picture Frame Co. is an honest framer.

I’m in love with the work that Richie and his wife Marsha have done for me– Framed All of my favorite photos of my Son. Using some awesome wood that I never even knew existed. I explained the style I was looking for and they hit it spot on! I can’t help but to keep coming back! Great prices. Great timing. Great conversation. Great work!
They’ve also done some work for my mom although her framing style is way different from what I like– they did a beautiful job!
Highly recommend this Bucktown Gem! Yay for local businesses

While a very fancy piece, could be out of their league, this friendly neighborhood shop can quickly do a quality job on your favorite poster or wedding photos. They have a decent selection of frames and best prices in town. I brought in two professional group photos from a company trip to hang in my office wall. The gentleman who helped me was great. He helped me select a frame, took my order and turned it around in just a few days. I am trilled with the results.
Because they are tiny, they may not offer the selection, nor the sophistication required to frame some collectible artwork but for everyday life 0 there is no place better:)

Just met with the ladies at Webster Street Picture Frame and we had a great time picking out matts and frames for a design project we are working on. They were friendly, fun and kept our budget in mind when selecting frames. Excellent service and great location!

I called around to get quotes from three different frame shops and Marsha from Webster Street Picture Frame gave me the best quote for a golf putter I wanted to get framed in a shadow box for a gift. Webster Street Picture Frame was super easy to work with and did a great job on the shadow box. I’ll definitely go back next time I need something framed!

I had 3 odd-​sized Star Wars prints (shut it! I’m a fan. LOL) that I wanted to frame.
First I went to Accentric. Nice enough. But, although, I’m a Star Wars fan I was not about to pay over $ 1000 for three frames.
I went to Webster, next, because my sister gave me a coupon for 20% discount from there and it was only two blocks away. Marsha was very nice and helpful. I am pretty sure I didn’t get 20% off frames because Marsha kept rounding down on stuff! So I’m sure my total was discounted more than 20%. LOL! My total for three frames at Webster was only about $ 100 more than ONE frame from Accentric.
The frames are made on-​site too (in the back of the store)! If you ask Richie he’ll show you his shop – very cool.
One of the frames was cracked and they redid the frame in two days.
Good people.

What a Bucktown neighborhood gem! When my boyfriend and I wanted to redecorate our apartment, we dug up some «lost» treasures that needed framing. Naïve to the world of interior decorating and completely alien to the art of framing, I painstakingly searched every area super store, craft store, home store in search of cheap, ready made frames for my irregularly shaped pieces. Alas, I resigned myself to forking over extra money for custom framing — but where to go? After receiving a flyer on my door — mind you never once until then were any of the hundreds of flyers placed on my door relevant to me — I decided to take a peaceful stroll around the corner to visit the custom frame shop I passed hundreds of times before over the years. Always supporting the local businesses in the neighborhood (especially the bars), I decided to give them a try. The OPEN sign invited me to approach the garden unit, the faded sign at the door told me to ring the bell. I was pleasantly greeted by a friendly gentlemen whose name escapes me. He walked me through an informative consultation, laid out my options and price, And put my mind at ease and ale intendant anxiety I had about custom framing. As I walked out, I felt like a real adult — you know, that feeling you get when you buy your first mattress or sign your very first car loan. I truly entered the stage into adulthood of my late twenties. This will be my first stop next time I need someone framed. In fact, I can’t wait to need something framed. Until then, I have two beautiful pieces of framed art on my wall because of Webster Street Framing.

We went here because my husband lived around the corner for MANY years and we saw it on Unilocal.We had the most fantastic experience and we would highly recommend them. The owners do everything there and they were able to give us many options and had a quick turn around on our 2 items. They were very reasonably priced fort he work that they did and we will definitely be going back!

I will definitely go back here. The man (I think his name was Richie) was very friendly, and the job was done in less time than promised and for cheaper than I expected. I was surprised by how many framing shops were in the neighborhood when I moved here, and feel as though I lucked out picking this one.

Wonderful experience. Marsha, the owner, was pleasant and knowledgable. Great selection, AMAZING prices, and I love giving business to a local, family-​owned business. My order was ready when promised. Will definitely be back for my next framing project!

I highly recommend going here for all of your framing needs. I know I will. Over the past few years a dozen or so frame shops opened up in the bucktown/​wicker park area but this one stands apart from the others. It’s a charming, no-​frills, neighborhood storefront that is owner operated.
Great service, quality work and good prices.

This place is great. The owner is down to earth and easy to talk to. She is knowledgeable about frames and gives you the time of day. Definitely not a rush through experience. Best of all, it’s a small local business-​I would rather give my money to them.

I will never recommend this frame shop to anyone. The job was not done in a timely matter. They would keep telling us that it would be ready the next day and waste our time when we’d try to pick it up because it wasn’t even touched yet. Finally, the artwork we brought in was returned to us damaged. When we asked about the damages they were very angry and yelled at us to get out! Yes, they kicked us out! We were accused of coming into their shop with the intent to argue with them. Ridiculous.
There are plenty of other frame shops out there that I believe deserve your business more.

If I could give this place negative stars, I would. I found this to be such an unpleasant experience and felt that they were a shady business.
I brought in delicate artwork that already had been framed, except that the glass had shattered during transportation to see if it was something that they could take care of. They said that they were happy to look into it and give a try if possible. I also brought in a poster to be framed. They said, it’ll be ready within a week and we’ll give a call.
A week and a half went by and no phone call. No biggie. I called and they said that they will work on it tonight, and to pick it up the next day. But when I arrived for pick up, it still hadn’t even been touched yet, to which they were apologetic and said they would definitely have it the next day. Again, no biggie.
Here’s where they really went down as the worst business I have ever personally encountered in my life. When my husband and I came back yet again, the framed poster looked good, but they apologized that there was nothing they could not add glass into the already framed artwork. Which was fine with me. Until I opened it and looked inside… the once intact frames were falling apart at one corner, and there were sharp chips and cuts in different areas of the frame. While paying for the poster, I casually asked about the damaged frame. To my shock, the woman started getting accusatory and angry! She said that we had obviously come in there to argue and that she would put up with no such thing. Within a minute of trying to explain that we surely were not there to argue and was just asking about the damages (to which she of course said it was that way when i brought it in), she told us to get out of her store. What was even more infuriating was that we were just saying just to forget about the frame and that we were leaving and never coming back, and she had to make it a point to stand by the open door and yell at us to leave. Wow! I have never been kicked out of any place before… so this was definitely new to me.
I would NEVER NEVER NEVER recommend this place to anyone!

I had a very good experience with this frame shop. I brought in some fine art prints that I wanted archival framing for. They gave me a very thoughtful consultation about various options. Not only were they alot less expensive than the bigger shops — I felt they have my works more personal attention. I was very happy with the finished products and I’ve been back as a result. I feel better about their experience and personal attention versus other frame shops where inexperienced low paid college kids end up working on my stuff.

Posters not cutting it anymore… tired of hanging things with scotch tape… time to get your self «Framed «as in artwork for a more grown up look in your home. This tiny frame shop will lavish some attention on your photos or artwork or whatever you have to hang or showoff and custom build a lovely frame without bankrupting your wallet and people will be amazed at your good taste or at least admire the frame.
