Mission in mind-

My goal is to offer good quality framing and framed art at an affordable price so that anyone, with any budget requirements can have beautiful art work in their homes or offices.  Every piece should be treated well no matter how small.  Beautifully displaying your special print is important to me

Services provided-

I can mount, mat, build a frame, assemble and deliver a complete framed product, or we can provide you with any of these services one at a time.

Prints and photos-

I have a few prints on hand for sale or for custom framing.  If you're looking for a particular print, I can find it for you.  If you have an idea for a print you'd like to use in your decor, I can provide you with many ideas.

 

 
Mounting-

I mount your prints on rigid foam board for a flat, clean appearance.  I can mount posters on large board to make displaying them easier.

Mats and mat cutting-

I have a complete selection of Crescent regular mats and can cut any size mat in single, double, and triple color combinations.  Multiple window openings are possible too.  You can select from our hundreds of colors samples.

 

Frames and glass-

I have a wide selection of affordable frame molding available.  I can find a molding to match your provided examples.  Also, each job is a custom build.  I don't just fit your print into a ready-made frame unless you choose to do that.  Special order frames are also available at no extra cost except for shipping and handling charges.

Pricing-

Exact prices are provided for any of the above service.  If I give you a price for the work you need, I'll stand by that figure.  If you're curious, here's a guide to my pricing schedule. 

To approximate how much it would cost to completely frame your print from start to finish, add the length and the width, then multiply that figure by three and then that figure by .75.  For example, if you have a print that will require a frame of 11 inches high by 14 inches wide (inside measurements), the formula would look like this:

11 +14 is 28
28 x 3 is 84
84 x .75 is 63

Your approximate cost for that frame job would be around $63.  The final cost may go up or down slightly.  It depends on the frame molding you select and the mat options you choose to add to the job.  This price is for a complete framing job:  mount your print, cut the mat(s), build your custom sized frame, assemble everything and apply a dust cover to the back.  I even provide the hardware to hang it when you get home.

Discounts-

I offer instant discounts to some jobs.  See if you can take advantage of these:

30% off for Knotts Island residents.
15% off for active military.
20% off for drilling reservists and Guardsmen.
15% off for law enforcement officers and fire fighters.

Save some money-

Providing your own materials can keep the cost of a custom frame even lower.

Provide your own frame.  You can bring in your print along with a frame that you bought elsewhere.  I'll fit your mat and print to that frame and show you how to best present it.

Provide your own molding.  If you have some frame molding you would like to use and it is suitable for handling in my shop, I can use it to build your frame for only and assembly fee.

Provide your own matting.  Same thing here.  If you purchased some mat board from a crafts house and would like to put it to use, I'll cut it to size for you or use it on your frame job.

Delivery and In-house consultations-

I can pick up your prints and deliver the finished frame for a nominal fee.

I can come to your house with mat and molding samples and match the work to your decor.  A nominal fee will apply but can be applied to your order.

I can ship your finished frame via USPS or UPS.
