Photographs and artwork can be beautiful on their own, but custom framing adds that extra little touch that really makes a difference. In Massachusetts as well as across the country, finding a great custom framer is a challenge but well worth the effort.
When choosing a company to complete your framing needs, start by looking for a company with a reputation as being focused on customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, there are a lot of companies that call themselves framing specialists that don’t understand the basics of making the picture, print or artwork really come to life.
Staff Training
With a lot of the chain stores and “one stop shopping” types of stores, framing may be a service that is offered. In most cases, it is not done in-house in these stores, rather it is sent to a large framing service.
Typically, whether done in-house or through the third-party service provider, the person that actually frames your art or photo has no more training in framing than you do. They are simply trained to complete the physical process using the materials and equipment provided.
With true custom framing, staff is trained in not just the physical assembly of the framed item, but also in assisting customers in selecting the frame, matting and mounting materials. They can also assist in helping to choose the correct glass and the frame style.
Protect Your Art
With a true custom framing service, every effort is made to protect your artwork and photos. This means using specific types of materials that are free from any acids both in framing your work as well as in handling your photos, prints or original artwork.
The result is a beautifully framed, mounted or matted piece of art that can be proudly displayed in your Massachusetts home, office or any location of your choice.
