Pennington Custom Art Serv

I’ve had Val, the owner of Pennington Custom Art Services, frame seven pieces for me over the past several years. As the previous reviewer mentioned, he has a good eye for what color of matboard and color/​material/​profile of frame will best set off your work. I particularly like the frame profiles that he has custom made by a local woodworker in Clintonville; in addition to supporting someone local, you can get profiles like cherry and fumed oak that you don’t find at mass market framing places. Val can also do conservation work on paper, which means he can remove toning and foxing from aged pieces.
Agreeing again with Michael G., Val’s prices are very competitive. Plus he gives repeat customers a 10% discount.
It’s always a pleasure to bring in a piece for him to frame; a couple times, his suggestions were particularly inspired, and the framed work I took home felt like an entirely new work of art. I wouldn’t use anyone else in town.

Val is the owner and he does a really great job. In addition to being very creative, he has great suggestions on color and layout. Finally and most important, for all this his prices are very competitive. Add in the other qualities, and his service beats the big chains even with their huge coupons. Give Pennington a go. On Indianola just north of Weber, near Studio 35.
