Phenomenal, family-owned, always a great value.
My wife and I have been bringing our art work to Artistic Custom Framing & Gallery for framing over the past 15+ years. They do excellent work, and they always make an extra effort to ensure the final product is especially attractive and stylish. They are extremely helpful in finding just the right color and style of frame and matting to match the piece of art and tie in the colors of the particular piece. In addition to being super friendly, professional, and helpful, they always provide an excellent final product at a very reasonable price.
In addition to their framing work, they have an interesting gallery of art in their store. There’s always an eclectic collection of artistic styles and genres on display. On numerous occasions when we have come in to have some of our art framed, we ended up leaving having purchased a new piece of art hanging in the gallery.
Great products, service, and value!!
This is our go-to frame shop and they always do a fabulous job. We've had them do all different sized pieces, framed and gallery-wrapped canvas, prints and paintings and it's always great. Only one time did we have an issue with a piece being slightly crooked and they fixed it without question. Prices and promise times are also extremely reasonable and they have a very wide selection of frames and mattes. Well-worth the 30 minute drive for us to get here and I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the DMV area.
It's a bit of a hike for us to get there. But it's well worth it. We were recommended to come here after We were disappointed with service selection and pricing at a few other places. Great selection, fair pricing, lovely owners. Amazing small family business. I love supporting small family businesses, they are part of what make America so great.
We had our picture framed quickly, and beautifully. It's gorgeous! And the service was great, it came just in time for the holiday. Thank you!
The absolute best at what they do. Best customer service, best craftsmanship. Would come back and highly recommend, even if the drive is long.
I love this place. Kind, competent, respectful people. They are helpful in determining ideas for framing without overselling. Always do a stellar job and with reasonable prices.
Great customer service and the lady tried to give me any available deals!
Such a pleasant experience! When I emailed them to ask about turnaround time I receive a response within 15 minutes. They gave me a 20% discount for being a first time customer. Such an easy time picking out a frame. Highly recommend.
I came here years ago and had several large paintings framed. They did a wonderful job! I returned with a watercolor of flamingos and an embroidery from Vietnam. I am once again extremely satisfied! Not only were the objects framed beautifully but also the customer service is stellar! Hassan is very patient with trying different mats and frames.
Fantastic Gallery/frame shop and wonderful customer service. Thanks so much to you all.
We have now had several large photographs framed at Artistic Custom Framing. We were given good advice about the design of the frames and matting. The results were excellent -- the framing complements the photographs and enhances their presentation. The price is fair, and the service is prompt.
Terrific framer
Good prices, top quality!
Very friendly, professional, and helpful. Quick turn around, great work quality, and reasonable prices.
Always the best prices and service. Quality is constantly top notch and the turnaround times are fantastic!
Really really terrific. They offered great advise and were super friendly helping me custom frame some sports memorabilia.
Great quality framing business.
Great work, Beautiful Paintings, and framing. Couldn't believe I found original Joesph Houlston DC, artist
I was referred to this business many years ago by my dear friend and mentor, Anita Moore-Hackney. Been coming here for framing for over 15 years and each time I have been more than pleased...great customer service, great prices!!! Thanks so much!!
I've been framing a little too much lately. While being isolated in my house, I've noticed how empty all the walls were. I've taken a lot of art to Artistic Framing to get framed.
I can't say that it's cheap, but I distinctly remember my mom complaining when I was younger about how expensive getting things framed was. So now I know first hand. Despite the pretty pennies spent, I know that the job will be done on time, and that I'm going to be happy with the outcome. I also appreciate the artistic direction that the owner gives as well. I've gone in with an idea, but he'll often show me alternatives, or give me his opinion of why it may not look like I imagine (for example, blocking signatures with frames too thick).
I am a local artist who values professional framing to elevate my work. I’ve been using Artistic Custom Framing for over 4 years for my personal and professional collection. I gasp with joy every time I see the finished product. Their prices and selection can not be beat!
Owner is so great! And frames are great too!
Excellent customer service, extremely competitive pricing, patience, guidance, and a perfect end product. This is our go to frame shop -- we couldn't ask for more.
My family has been going here for years. The frames are beautifully done. While the frames can lean towards the more expensive side, it's worth every penny. The owner does them by hand, in a short period of time, and will talk you through the process, patiently switching out swaths and frames! I will never go anywhere else - I bring my art home from New York just to go here!
The owners were friendly and helpful. The actual framing was excellent. And there is easy parking.
Very customer friendly
This place is great. I think the store has been around for like 40 years! They're really good and the prices are better than anywhere else I've looked. Michael's is ridiculously expensive compared to this place and it's legit quality work. I would highly recommend this place for anything frame or art related.
Good quality
I have done business with Artistic Custom Framing for more than a decade. The quality of their service is exquisite! I strongly recommend!
My husband and I came in to get our ketubah framed. Hassan was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He knew immediately the perfect color combinations to pair with our piece. They have a promotion for a free print with purchase of $100 which we happily took advantage of, too. We even got our free print framed for cheap. I’m so happy with this shop, and I recommend to anyone looking to get artwork framed. Two thumbs way up!
We have lived in the neighborhood for 10 years and have gotten all of our artwork framed here. We feel good supporting a "mom and pop" shop, and our walls are now a gallery of beautifully framed art. Every piece is meticulous and professionally done. They even have preservation glass for pieces that are getting older and are starting to fade. Great value and friendly, professional service!
Best place in the DMV to get your art collection framed. Great prices.
Amazing, friendly, family-owned, professional service and great pricing for exceptional value! I highly recommend this company!
Great service
This guy saved my life! I am an artist who does my own framing. I had ordered a large, ornate gold frame from another area framer, and it came in the wrong size, without enough time to reorder a new one before my big exhibition. I remembered that I had purchased some ornate gold moulding on sale years ago, went digging for it, and took it to artistic framing... I know that the moulding was difficult to work with, but these guys did an amazing last minute job for a very reasonable price. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Very efficient, friendly, professional service. Looking forward to returning!
I don't frame very often. No idea what it should cost. Hassan was easy to work with and steered me to an option I liked. I decided not to run around to see if I could find it for less. I love the final result, and if I could have saved any money elsewhere, it wasn't worth it to me to find out.
Excellent! And the owner is so professional and gives excellent guidance! I was so pleased with the first job (I did it as a test) that I took back 2 pieces to get framed.
This place is hands down the most affordable framing shop in the D.C. Metro area. The turn around time is a week or less. The staff is talented, experienced and honest. They have elevated my art work to a whole other level!
The owner was friendly and knowledgeable. I brought three paintings to him and asked for help picking frames. He found the perfect complimentary frame in seconds, and even though I couldn't visualize it, when I saw the final product, he was right.
I have been getting pieces frames here for at least 10 years. In fact, I had a piece repaired and a new piece framed last month, and have one that is ready for pick up now. Every piece looked better than expected, and was ready on time. There are always frames on sale from which one can choose to further reduce prices. I even purchased an original oil on canvas, and they were kind enough to allow me to pay on installment. Prices are reasonable. The owner/operator is very friendly, and the work top notch. I absolutely love this place.
Great location to go and get an exp opinion about art. I had the pleasure to work with the owner for getting a few oil painting framed. The owner was patient and knowledgeable. I wanted to price shop and found the owner to be supportive and not pushy at all.
I would rate my experience as 5 stars. Few gems like these still exists and survive as local businesses in the face of mega giants and Internet based economy. However, with something as abstract as art, you want a guide with experience and good opinions and options.
I had 4 Yoshida woodblock prints. Hassan did a masterful job framing them. He has a superb sense of color and picked the perfect mats and frames.
Owner is very polite and friendly. Went in to get my Panorama sport picture framed and it came out great! Loved it and I plan to come back again!
This shop does absolutely great work, and the prices are reasonable depending on what you have, and they have frames that will some time cut down on the prices, I so recommend Artistic Framing for your next work of art. I have been using them for years and the framing is the best yet!!!
They did a great job framing my diplomas, and they were far more affordable than Michael's or the other big craft stores.
They were also very patient when it took me a while to pick them up. I definitely plan to take my art there in the future!
Great shop! They did some great work for me on some posters. The price was a little higher but really you can get the price down with cheaper frames. I will be returning soon to have them do some more work for me.
I went to Artistic Framing after reading the reviews on Yelp and I am so glad I did. I had two pieces framed at a reasonable price in a short time frame. The owner helped me pick out a mat and frame for one of the pieces and it turned out much better than if I had done what I originally planned. All around great experience! I will be back!
I went here on the unanimous recommendations of my neighbors who said this was *the* place to get stuff framed. Talk about local knowledge my neighbors were exactly right. This small frame store is a local treasure. Knowledgeable, fast, incredibly well priced. Could not have been happier with my experience. Artistic Custom Framing has been in business for 40 years and, if we are lucky, they'll stay for 40 more.
For my Christmas gift-giving this year, 2012 was the Year of the Print...I had 5 prints and paintings from local artists that needed framing. I think I'm generous with gift-giving, but I do have a budget. I stopped by Artistic Framing in Wheaton planning to get a few of the prints custom framed, but wait and try to frame the others myself, with stock frames and mats, just to save a few bucks.
But I was pleasantly surprised at the price quotes that Artistic Framing gave me for the first two prints, so I decided to get them all custom framed by Artistic Framing. The price quote for a simple black wood frame, approximately 9x12inches, with mat, was in the same ballpark as the price of a stock frame and mat at the local art supply chain store.
I was very pleased with the quality of the framing, and was quite proud to present them as gifts. I'll bring my own framing work to Artistic Framing in the future.
I almost hate to give away this secret, but Artistic Framing is the best framing store in the DC area (and I've been to lots). The frame selection is great, the prices are more than reasonable, and the workmanship is stellar. Hassan is willing to spend lots of time with customers looking at frame after frame and, if you want, he'll give advice and guidance on how to make your art look fantastic. Recently, the store has begun showing and selling the work of local artists, which makes a trip there always interesting.
