Are you really frugal?
Let’s face it, framing can be costly. We have carefully selected vendors, and structured our ordering to provide us a range of quality materials at the best prices. Thus, we can offer our customers pricing which stands alone. No coupons or gimmicks necessary. Please comparison shop. We feel confident you will agree.

Will frugal framer deliver or make house calls?
We have found that house calls are rarely a necessity. However, we like to think of ourselves as your neighborhood frame shop and will visit your home or make deliveries when necessary. The focus of framing should be on what looks best with the art, not the surrounding décor. What happens when you decide to re-paint? However, framing should match the feel of the room in which the art is hung, Feel free to bring in any pertinent décor, a sofa cushion, rug, swatch of wall paper…

Is there anything that can not be framed?
You might be surprised at what is possible. We have framed everything from Himalayan shoes to Cadillac wheel covers. We also build vitrines for alternate display options.

I already know the basics of framing and can do some assembly myself. Can I buy components and take them home?
Of course. Although we are not set up as a do-it-yourself operation in house, we will assist you with as much or as little as you need, either with materials only or partial labor.

Are you equipped to handle large quantities?
We have the largest in-stock inventory in the region and can do assembly line orders as needed. In fact, we recently framed all the artwork for the rooms of a large resort hotel.
