Museum Quality Framing

I was looking for a framer for my diploma. Just got the finished product today and it looks GREAT! Walking in, I didn’t know what I wanted. The customer service is awesome, consultative. The woman working with me offered suggestions and it all came together.
Just a tip: Look at the various glass options you have. The top level, it’s truly museum quality… I didn’t even know there was glass there. No reflection, almost invisible. It’s remarkable.
I love their work, their customer service, and they way they operate as a business. Excellent!

Two important framing tasks in the past month – both came out beautifully. A large map and a smaller photo portrait were done in the most professional way, but the always courteous and thoughtful staff. They are artists, and it is great to have them in the neighborhood.

I had a simple 8 by 10 print framed here this week. Helpful, good suggestions and feed back helping me pick the most complimentary frame.

I got a canvas painting framed here a few months ago as a Mother’s Day present, because my mom is, you know, awesome and stuff. They did a terrific job all the way through. The staffer helped me select a frame with a style and color that matched the painting beautifully, and the work that they did was excellent. (Mom really liked it, in case you were wondering!) Also, when I picked it up, another staffer gave me some suggestions of businesses who are reliable for packing and shipping framed art, and the advice was spot-​on (the FedEx on Broadway, which will be getting a 5-​star review from me!).
It was expensive, but I suppose that’s what you’d expect for quality custom framing.
One thing I’d suggest to anyone who is shopping here: take your time and be prepared to have lots of options thrown at you. The staffer basically said «you can do this or this or this and then you can add this or you could do this instead and add this and this…» It was a lot to take in rather quickly and felt a little breathless… if I had it to do over again, I might have gone with fewer frills and kept the cost down but still ended up with a really nice frame.

Customer service was great both over the phone and in-​person. They helped us pick a budget-​friendly custom frame option and helped figure out mat color and size and frames that worked with the artwork — very professional. The piece turned out gallery-​ready and way better than had I tried to work something off the shelves. Note that a normal custom frame order takes 2 weeks. I had to pay a $ 30 rush fee to get it back in 4 days. Otherwise it would have been under $ 100.

Super friendly staff helped me choose a nice and budget friendly frame. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would return.

They really do an amazing job. The staff is really helpful and friendly. I would recommend them for any framing job.

Great service and quality! Prices seem a little high but I started getting discounts and coupons in the mail after my first visit… definitely brought me back!

Great customer service. Good quality product. Krista consulted with us to figure out what we wanted despite our own indecisiveness and helped us keep the price within our budget.

I recently had a antique textile framed here. They listened to what I wanted, showed me all the options with prices, gave me a discount, and finally did a beautiful job and gave me exactly what I wanted within the time frame they quoted. Definitely worth the $ 350 price tag for a large beautiful frame, hand sewn mounting, and really «museum quality» framing job.

A friend made me a custom piece of artwork which I wanted to get framed and hang in my apartment. I checked with several frame shops around town and Museum Quality Framing had the best quote + the frame style that I liked the best (and was also the most conveniently located). Cheryl was very professional and friendly and helped us decide what style of glass to get, and made sure she had a clear understanding of what it was we wanted. She said the framing would be done in 2 weeks, and it ended up being a few days less than that, which was great. The art is gorgeous and everyone who has come to the apartment since it’s been framed and hung, has been blown away by how stunning it looks.
The only negative part of the experience, and why I gave it 4 stars, was that the quote ended up being low by about $ 200. I realize custom framing is expensive, and the results were well worth the money, but it was a bit of a nasty shock to have such an increase from the original estimate to the final price.

I chose Museum Quality Framing based on Julie B’s 5 star review and the fact that it’s right around the corner from my apartment.
I went in with a nice 1960’s paint by number mountain scene and a very vague idea of what I wanted for a frame («Northwest»). Cheryl immediately ruled out a matt and glass (neither of which I wanted) and moved into the area that I needed help with, the frame. After suggesting a handful of frames, she got out of me that I also wanted «vintage» and she was able to pick up on the colors that I wanted to bring out. Ten minutes in, we had the frame and fillet figured out. (I never knew that that thin inner border was called a fillet, nor that I needed one, but it’s perfect.) She also quickly understood the shortcomings of the painting (beat up left lower corner, narrow top edge of scene). It was framed perfectly.
I also used a Valpak coupon, but I didn’t mention it until after I got home and found it online and called MQF. Cheryl still honored it.
Quite a bit more expensive than DIY as Julie B said, but totally worth it. I highly recommend Museum Quality Framing!

I had a special photo series that I wanted to commemorate, so I figured it was time to opt for custom framing rather than DIY. I had no ideas in mind when I walked in to MQF.
Cheryl was like a framing consultant, showing me various options in different price ranges. She pulled out plain and textured mats, beveled mats, bevels with colors, wood, wood-​like and metal frames, always keeping in mind what would highlight or contrast with the colors in the photos. Finally, I narrowed down the mat, frame and glass. I paid half of the total to get things started, and was also able to use one of those Valupak coupons for a discount.
Cheryl told me it would be done in 7 – 10 days, so I was pleasantly surprised when they called me mid-​week to say my frame was ready. I stopped in to pick up my frame today, and it far exceeded my expectations. I think I gave a squeal of glee when I saw the awesome photos in their new home!
I’m so happy with the final product and highly recommend Museum Quality Framing for your special projects. They also have regular frames and wall art worth checking out, too.
