The First Picture Frame Warehouse

So this place is expensive but my family has used it for years… recently I had occasion to swap out a bunch of pieces and let me tell you that my new framer (who I switched to because I finally got tired of First Picture Frames delusional pricing… they wanted $ 1300 to frame a piece that Telegramme ended up doing for $ 800 (it’s huge)) was horrified at what they had done to my very expensive art… every single *#F#$ing piece was covered in tape… removing the tape ruined two pieces (worth $ 500 each) and I would consider legal action if I had thought to keep receipts/​framing records… do not under any circumstances give them your stuff… I don’t even want to know what horrors they’ve done to the really expensive stuff (which I now can’t risk unframing or ever selling)…they are as crooked as a three dollar bill.

This negative review hinges entirely on price.
This place does excellent framing and the owner has a good idea for framing technique, mat color and so on. I have never had a bad frame job.
Having said that. They are pretty much the most expensive framer I have ever seen. Like 30% more expensive than anyone else. A job that might be $ 120-​$ 160 somewhere else, ends up being $ 270 here (with same material).
I recently became aware of the price difference and have moved on to another framer.
I recommend if you are interested in custom framing, just give a bunch of places a call… while this place does good work, they don’t do anything special enough to warrant the kinds of prices they charge.
