Who knew framing was so expensive? I didn't. Every place I called was quoting me around $200. I…read moreended going to DIY Framing, as a second stop as I wasn't pleased with the first place I visited. I've driven by this place so many times and always thought that it's for you to do-it-yourself. Well, it is DIY framing, meaning they can prep the materials for you to do the work which can save about $26 for the labour. But I was told that 95% of people do not go with the DIY approach and leave it up to the experts. What I liked about this place was the great service I received from Jan - she was fantastic! She was extremely professional, knowledgeable and not pushy at all. She provided her perspective to help guide my selections because as I learned, there's a lot of choices! She provided the best options out there for my style and budget. She even provided ways to reduce the cost of the framing. It was a great shopping experience and within a week, I was able to pick up the finished piece. And yes, I did end up spending a good amount on the framing but it was for a large art piece and it was well worth it. Truly great service goes a long way. And everyone else in the shop was great to deal with as well. I would definitely recommend this place and would go back here for the next piece I need framing. Parking is available in the back.

Even though this happened a year ago, I am publishing this review. As one said, there is no statute…read moreof limitation on bad Workmanship. Late in December of 2023, having first spoken on the phone with the owner, Ms. Aleksandra Quartel, who assured me she had much experience with the mounting of such items, I dropped off WW2 medals, a WW2 paper ID Card, a small photo and a WW2 RCAF Tour of Duty Badge. I picked up the frame on Jan 19. All looked good at first however once at home, I had a better look at the frame. It looked like the ID Card had been glued down. That also made me wonder what had happened to the fasteners that secured the Tour of Duty badge onto the airman's uniform. I immediately emailed the owner asking to have the fasteners returned to me. I was told the fasteners were disposed of in the garbage. I then called the store only to find out the owner was away for the week. I asked the person who answered if they could look for the fasteners. Sadly, the garbage had been picked up and the fasteners were nowhere to be found. I then sent another email asking the owner why the fasteners were thrown in the trash and why I was not called before going ahead and gluing a WW2 artifact down which destroyed the front of the ID Card to confirm that I was OK with this. I was answered: "When you decided to do framing of your father's items how did you think the items would be fastened to the matte without falling to the bottom of the frame?" When I asked why the fasteners were disposed of in the garbage, the owner responded: "We have never kept fasteners unless a customer asked us to do so." I then asked for a full refund for the cost of the framing as for the cost of replacing the fasteners which would involve purchasing a WW2 badge. I also submitted a complaint to the Better Business Bureau of Central Canada which proved to be useless. The owner offered to refund the cost only if I returned the actual frame and the glass which I believe is ridiculous as it would require me to drive 150 km each way. She also flatly refused to replace the fasteners and also accused me of being a scammer and bullying her. I can assure you as a Veteran I am neither. I am a customer unsatisfied with the work completed. I would strongly suggest to anyone wanting to have similar work done to find another framing business.

The salesperson spent a good amount of time looking at the item we wanted to frame and offered up lots of choices and options. It's pricey to do custom framing but it was in the range of all other custom framing places I obtained estimates from. While I think she provided us with alternate options like plaque mounts, which we didn't want though would have been less expensive than a frame. Of the frame options, they were still beyond what we wanted to spend. We didn't end up framing here because we thought it was too pricey and wanted to look elsewhere.
