I've been a customer at this friendly family business for 24 years and the quality can't be beat. They've done upwards of 50 home and office framing projects - they look great and handle moves well. I come back from out of state for projects because they have an artistic eye, unique collection, and help you talk through your vision. They work with you on price point although with material costs rising, negotiating will be challenging. Highly recommend for all your framing needs! read more

This place is so great. They are so helpful and kind, while keeping prizes reasonable.

Fantastic customer service. Did an amazing job on some work for me, but there were a few issues with the original framing. I took it back and the owner immediately said they would take care of it. Within a week received a text saying it was ready and sure enough everything came out as it should. Highly reccomend! read more

These guys are very helpful and have made great suggestions about configuring a frame and mat to make to most out of our art work. While the result isn't inexpensive, we consider it reasonable for what we are putting on display. As an aside, you may want to consider museum glass. While it adds a fair amount to the finished product just about all glare is eliminated. read more

The people here are great! I built a custom frame for my girlfriend for Christmas, but didn't have the right hardware to secure the picture inside the frame. I stopped here (it's just a few blocks from my house), and asked if they sold the hardware. The gentleman said they did not, but he could secure it for me. I brought the frame in, he secured the picture, and I asked him how much I owed him. He said "Don't worry about it, put out good Karma and maybe a nice Yelp review." Well here you are, sir. The next time I need framing work done, I will definitely come here. It's nice that some folks still haven't lost the spirit of doing good business. Cheers. read more

This is my go to place for all types of framing! We have done numerous framing and specialized design with officers going away and retirement frame. They are very courteous and friendly, not to mention that their prices are very competitive compared to other companies. Their location is right in the corner of Walter Reed Drive and Columbia Pike Drive. They have a nice little parking area right next to the building which is a great week for the area they're in. I have personally gotten my retirement frame from them and I couldn't be happier. I am currently working on a retirement frame for a CAPTAIN that I've worked for and has served for over 40 years of active duty service. The staff was very patient with us and offered advice on how the lay out would best work for the items she wants to have framed and made sure they answered all our questions. We'll be coming back to drop off the rest of the items we need in the frame and can't wait to see the final piece! read more

Really fine work at a reasonable price. I took in two prints to be framed -- one small new one, the other one, an antique print with its dirty frame badly damaged. The damaged one looked as though I should just toss it. The salesperson efficiently helped me pick frames. The result was really miraculous-- an excellent framing job, especially of the damaged print that highlighted its long lost beauty. I'll be back! read more

I needed some matte board cut and this frame shop did an excellent job. They were able to create matte frames for 3 different odd-sized artworks of mine in just under 30 minutes. This was a much better experience than waiting in line at a Michaels or a big name retail shop for framing and then being told to come pick it up another day. They also provided this service at a good price. Definitely support your local business! Have a look around while you wait; they have some artwork for sale as well. read more

The thing about framing stuff is that you probably don't do it very often. And if you're anything like me, you put off whatever you need to get framed. One motivated Sunday morning, I looked at some certificates I wanted to get framed - that have been moved now between three apartments - and did some research on trusty Yelp. Art & Framing Club came up as not only a great place to get things framed, but also close to me, and affordable. So I go there and I show them my three "projects" - two are pretty straightforward certificates, while one was a stack of Playbills that I wanted to do something with, but I wasn't quite sure. I went to the store - a family-owned small business! - and brought in my things to be framed. They gave me good advice for the certificates and helped me figure out what I wanted to do with the playbills. While I say that this place is affordable, keep in mind that framing is expensive. I was told that my order would be ready by next Sunday (so 7 days later), which was totally fine by me. I got a call and message on Wednesday night that my orders were ready, and I went and picked them up. They looked amazing. All in all - I'm pleased with the quality of the work, the price, and the speed with which Art & Framing Club completed my order. If you need something framed, definitely check this place out. As an aside - I saw a Caps Jersey that they framed for a client, and it looked great. So they also do framing of sports jerseys and memorabilia. read more

I had a high quality poster that I wanted framed and it's safe to say that my expectations were exceeded.

I know nothing about framing, except that it tends to be expensive. I went here to get a canvas print framed and the super friendly staff were able to explain everything and work within my budget, which I really appreciate. I haven't picked it up yet, but I can't wait to see it when it is done. I'll be going to Art & Framing Club for all my future framing needs. read more

Fantastic and wonderful. Reliable and dependable. You can take your most precious item to them and they will turn it into a masterpiece. Great for military!! read more

Excellent customer service and excellent materials. I have depended on this shop for over ten years with framing/matting of original drawings and paintings. This is a place you can trust with precious work. The staff is always professional and use great care when handling each piece. The choice of materials is vast. You cannot find better service in the DC area. read more

I will be a loyal customer here going forward. They were super helpful and friendly and always willing to go the extra mile - even helping me carry an oversized painting home to my house a few blocks away! This is a true example of getting what you pay for, beautiful framing and outstanding customer service. read more

After much shopping around, Art & Framing Club gave me the most competitive quote to stretch and frame a canvas. They did an excellent job and my painting looks fantastic. The staff in the store were very friendly and helpful and my project was ready in about a week. Excellent service and good pricing makes this place a winner! read more

This place is great. They are friendly, reasonably priced, and not at all pushy on the upgrades. They did a great job on the shadow box for my dad's arrowheads, which looks exactly like what I asked them for. Will definitely come back here! read more

I've had multiple images and posters framed here, and every time has been an absolute joy. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The finished products are on time and look fantastic. On top of that, we all know framing is expensive, and the prices here are hard to beat. As long as A&FC is around, I won't be taking my framing anywhere else. Thank you, guys! read more

Friendly, quality, great service. Family owned business. They helped us choose the perfect frame for a special piece and turned it around in a week. I think the value is very fair and comparable to a big chain store so I'd rather send my business here. Thanks! read more

Before my grandparents passed, they had a room in their house they would always sit in, play games, rest, watch TV, do crossword puzzles, the works. Above their chairs in that room was a beautiful picture drawn by their neighbor and best friend, Henry. Now, my grandparents came from nothing and saved every penny they had so that their children could have everything they didn't. And so they didn't have a frame to put around the picture that he had painted for them, just the canvas with a little bit of error and wear. And as they aged, so did the painting, above their mantle, until the house was empty, and it came time to collect their belongings. After the funeral I went back to their home and asked my mother and uncle for the painting. They had no use for it, so gave it to me, and I happily took it (and the memories it contained) home with me. Such a beautiful picture deserves a beautiful frame, I thought, and as I passed this shop on the corner I made the decision to bring the picture in. The girl at the counter spent twenty minutes helping me pick out a suitable frame, based on the subject of the picture, the colors, the palette, the feel. For a total of $35, everything included, I left it there and came back a week later to pick it up. Boy, they did a damn good job. Now, as I do my crafts, and read, and watch TV, the painting watches over me as well. read more

I had a great experience here. My concept of framing stores has always been Michaels - extremely overpriced, poor quality, people who don't seem to know what they're doing. Art and Framing Club was the exact opposite. I was able to get a close-enough quote over the phone, the estimate was totally reasonable for the work being done and the framing and matting was beautiful. I'm a full-time wedding photographer and I fully intend to use Art & Framing Club for all my future framing needs. read more

Admittedly, I usually leave this sort of task to my mother, so I must preface with I've never price-compared nor have I had this service done in the DC area prior to my visit to the Art and Framing Club. That aside, I took three small watercolors that I purchased on a recent trip abroad to be framed here. I had a budget that I made up in my head, knowing this sort of custom service usually runs steep, and came within my budget with change to spare! Three cuts in the selected mat for 3 watercolors, one cool, rustic-looking frame of about 24"h x 12"w, and the matte glass came to under $100 (picture will be posted soon!) While I can't vouch for the price being the best, it fit my frugal demands. I enjoyed the selection of over 100 mat colors, and found one that complimented not only all three water colors, but my wall paint color as well. The vast frame selection guaranteed a custom (and expensive) look, and the end result not only brought back beautiful memories of my trip, but was also stunning! Located so close to my home, I've now found my go-to place for custom framework as well as relieved my mother of another task! yay for being grown up! Bonus- they have an incredibble selection of pre-framed art for sale at really reasonable prices. read more

Art & Framing Club - cost a little more than $90 to have the watercolors matted and framed. - Framing Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This place has two key things that a lot of other framing stores do not have, according to reviews on Yelp: (1) EXCELLENT Prices; and (2) quality service and work every time with a fast turnaround. I was super impressed with the staff's knowledge and guidance, and how courteous they all were. My framed paintings now look AMAZING and I am always going to return here whenever I need anything framed. No other store in the DC/VA area can hold a candle to this place!! read more

I'm naturally suspicious of places that have long lasting "50% off everything" sales... this one has been going on for years now. Kind of reminds me of the "Everything must go" sale in "Don't Mess With The Zohan" (particularly because of the clerk who reminded me of someone from the movie!). But for a custom job, for a fairly large painting, around $100 wasn't too bad in my eyes... I mean the $256 quote she said was retail was obviously too much, but the $128 I shelled out seemed a bit low to me. Then again, I just was looking for something with four edges that hangs. I can see less discriminating minds settling for a cheaper place, or more standard frames. read more

I just brought in a (much smaller) second item for framing since my first came out so well, but this photo is a really sentimental family photo. They did a fantastic job - again! - and I love these people! read more

I was so impressed by the quality, price and professionalism of this place. Having never gotten anything framed before I shopped around and got a few quotes from other shops and this place blew away my expectations in every way. I got two diplomas framed and they're perfect. It's reasonable in price, accessible in a location and they have an eye for detail. Go here! read more

I went here to get three items framed based on these Yelp reviews - two personal items and one magazine article for our office. I can't wait to go back. They were extremely helpful and very reasonably priced. The finished products are perfect and their recommendations were spot on. They rushed one order for me and had it finished in 3 days with no extra charge. I strongly recommend them even though the store doesn't look top notch their work is and the price is unbeatable. read more

I liked this place! I had a photograph framed for my husband's birthday, and it turned out great. Turn-around time was under a week, price was well below what I planned to pay, and they were very helpful. I'm a framing newbie, so they took the time to explain some things to me, and helped me pick out a nice frame. I can't vouch for anything complicated (ie: a print needing refurbishing or fancy glass), but for a basic frame job, this is your place. Only bad comment I have is they advertise being open until 7pm on weekdays. I hoofed it over there after work, making it there by 6:50 pm, and they had closed early. Very irritating at the time, but still generally worth it for me in the grand scheme of things. You just might want to call and give them a head's up if you're arriving close to closing time. read more

This place is GREAT! Such a nice staff- quick work! I went in to get a hanger on back of canvas and they did it for no charge! They are so friendly and do beautiful work! Please support this store ! read more

I just had two prints framed here and couldn't be happier with the product or their customer service. I live in Clarendon so it was a bit out of my way, but I read horror stories about our local framer and after this experience I can say it was worth the drive. I dropped them off on a Saturday and they told me they would be ready the following Saturday. Then they called me on Wednesday to let me know they were ready early! This is a truly honest framing shop. When I've had things framed elsewhere, framers have encouraged more matting, more expensive glass, and a more expensive frame to drive up the price with no regard for how the final product will look. Other framers have also provided estimates weeks out and missed them. Here they agreed the lino prints I was framing would look best with simple frames and mattes, and they recommended a more budget-friendly glass. When I wanted museum glass which cost more they told me they didn't think it was necessary, but when I insisted they complied. It really seems like they had my best interest in mind and certainly weren't trying to drive up the price, if anything they were trying to keep me from spending more than necessary. In the end I am glad I went with the museum glass because it makes visible the texture of the paper and how it took on the ink and watercolor, but I think their recommendation would have been a great alternative and would have saved me some money. I was also worried about how they'd matte it and what amount of white space would remain, but they nailed it. I don't think it could have been done any better. The prices were fair too. Much better than other shops where it seems customary to overprice everything and then offer discounts and force customers to negotiate like they're at a used car dealership. Bonus: they gave me hangers to hang the frames up on my walls, and the hangers even had a nice "thank you" message printed on the packaging. If you're looking for an honest framer that does good work, this is it. If it's a bit out of the way for you, just know it's worth it. read more

Great price and customer service! My husband and I had four large canvas paintings we needed stretched and framed. We called around to 5 different places in the area, including Michaels.

I have a ton of stuff to get framed, but never want to pay the steep prices to get them custom framed. I passed by this small store and noticed they were having a 50% off custom framing sale. I went in and they quickly helped me pick out the right frame for this map I had. I chose a more expensive frame and without matteing (the map didn't need it), it came to $70. $70!! I'm pretty sure at Michael's or a bigger shop, this would have been at least $100. I'm not sure how long the sale is going on for, but this seems to be a family run business and they were fast and professional. It is across the street from the Cinema Drafthouse. read more

I had my CPA certificate framed here. I have never had anything custom framed before because I am cheap. I felt like This document deserved a nice frame though because I worked so hard to earn it. The document was double matted with a nice dark wood frame with engraving. The price with tax was around $80. I am not really sure how good the price is. The quality is excellent though. I am very happy and would return again. The service was also excellent. A friendly women helped me when I came in and she told me when I could come back to pick up my frame. It was finished on time and I was able to pick it up and pay within 5 minutes. read more

I had two items (a 5x7 photo and large poster) framed at Art & Framing Club last week and I am beyond happy with the results! I've never had items framed before, and when I had priced out the abnormally-sized poster a couple years ago at Michaels, they had given me some absurd price (around $400 I believe). The total for both items here was $150, including a matte on the photo. I told the gentleman that I wasn't sure which frame I wanted and the one he grabbed from the display was perfect. Turnaround was one week and it was worth the wait! Pictures to come... read more

Without a doubt, the BEST and most AFFORDABLE option in the DMV. I had a hulking huge photo 4 feet in length and wanted to frame it. I went here first for a quote, then checked out no less than seven other companies. I did my due diligence checking out places in Arlington, Alexandria and throughout DC. Every single quote came back to an exorbitant price -- one almost $700. However I came back to the place I should've stuck with along and got a price so low that I honestly could not believe it. So my recommendation: shop around if you want. But trust me, you will NOT find a better price. So, so happy with the quality of the job and the overall experience. They now have all my business for framing needs. read more

They did a great job matting and framing my wedding photo with a quick turnaround. Thank you everyone!

DON'T BUY THE YELP DEAL. This place is shady, and the deal is a scam. Let me explain: I saw the Art & Framing Club was well reviewed on yelp, with good prices.I purchased a yelp deal $60 for $100 worth of framing, which at a normal frame store would be great. However, I quickly realized how this "deal" works. I went into the store with a brand new painting I had purchased overseas a few weeks back. I got a bad vibe when I noticed the store also doubles as a Vespa dealership: not a good sign. However, the women at the counter that helped me pick out potential frames was nice enough, and seemed helpful, so I let my guard down. That was my first mistake. After a bit of calculator math, she quoted me a price of $75. Seemed like a decent price. I mentioned I had a yelp deal, and she said that the $75 price was actually a special 50% off deal, and the coupon couldn't be used with the deal. Unfortunately, all their "great prices" that are advertised on the yelp reviews here seem to be "special prices." She gave me the option of using the yelp deal for $100 towards the $150, or paying the full $75, no yelp deal, and saving the coupon for later. I didn't want to save it for later, because, due to the sketchy pricing, I didn't plan on coming back, and it was unclear what size frame it would ever be worth it to use the deal on their "full retail" price. I was hungry, and trying to do the math in my head. I reluctantly agreed to use the deal on the full price frame, angry that if I had never purchased the deal, I would have been paying $75 insteald of $60 (deal cost) + $150 (full retail) - $100 (deal benefit) = $110 (my total expense). In other words, the deal cost me $35. I loaded the deal up on my phone, but then was informed that I had to bring in a paper copy. This didn't make sense to me, but I wanted to leave. I paid the $50 plus tax as a deposit, left the frame, and then got some lunch. Flash forward two weeks later, when I went to pick up the frame. I had decided that I was just going to talk to the women, ask to pay the $75, and then work with Yelp to get the deal refunded, as the pricing at the place was suspect. I asked if her if i could pay the difference in the $50 plus tax for the discounted price, which would have been about 15 dollars. Suspecting that something was up, she said, no, that's fine, just take the picture. I repeated that I'd prefer to just pay the regular "special price" of $75, and not use the yelp deal, and asked again to pay the difference. She said the credit card machine was broken, so she couldn't do it. I told her I had cash and could pay then. She insisted that I keep the cash and take my girlfriend out for ice cream. She even said I didn't have to use the yelp deal. She could have been being nice, but the whole vibe was sketchy. And to top it off, the framing wasn't that great. There is about 2mm of space between the left edge of the painting and the frame. I'll likely have to get it reframed in the future, when I get a nicer apartment and care about these things more. I'll update this review once I hear back from yelp regarding a refund for my deal. read more

I've been going here for years and have had so many things framed I've lost count. Have sent family & friends here and they've been happy as well. Great, friendly staff.

Can't say enough good things about this place! read more
