"Josh and his team are amazing! I took in a range of pieces to frame from a recent trip, including prints and textiles. He had fantastic ideas about how to highlight their features while also remaining consistent. I could not be more pleased with the results, and they got all four pieces done in two weeks! (We were prepared for the 3 or more weeks that he stated, so it was a great surprise!) We will definitely be using them for our future framing needs vs our prior go-to of Framebridge. It’s great to support a local business and we are thrilled to have their art in our home. As an added bonus, they do picture wire on the back, vs 1-2 hooks, which is a huge help in hanging the art on the wall."

"I truly cannot recommend this store more highly. I had a timely and deeply personal request that Josh went out of his way to accommodate and help me determine the best solution. Him and Kim did a beautiful job with the photo and frame and I’m so grateful."

"Just a great experience from start to finish. I brought them a signed jersey and some loose tickets and what I picked up is a masterpiece. Expertly done, high quality materials, and most importantly the vision on how to make your piece stand out."
