Probably why I don't have too much experience! I have a concert poster from Dead and Company that is very dear to me, it was a great night celebrating my birthday with some good friends. Had another one from the Black Keys this year that also deserved framing. So I stopped into the Framers Market Gallery which happens to be right around the corner from me to get some ideas of what it would cost...I am SOOO happy I did! Aileen(sp?) was working the counter and she is good at her job! So glad I went with her recommendations! The Black Keys one she figured out quickly and I'm very happy with it! She looked longer at the Dead and Co poster and ran a couple ideas past me...I'd never have thought this, but she suggested I use 2 frames!?! A blue one on the inside, to pickup the blue from the poster, and a black one outside, which would match my other artwork. I wasn't sure how it would look when done, but liked the idea, and it was actually cheaper with 2 frames than using matting... Think it took about 2 weeks and I was so happy with them both! The Dead and Co poster just blows me away, I love it! It was also cheaper than my previous framing experiences, so double the recommendation! Thank you Aileen, I'll be back with more!

I have seen and heard about Merritt Gallery since I moved to the area about year ago, but this was…read moremy first time going inside. It is an impressive, contemporary space with a very wide selection of art including wall and free-standing sculpture. When asked for prices the range was quite wide from $900 to $50,000 (yes, $50k). Given some of the pieces displayed and artists represented I imagine that range goes well beyond $50k as names like Picasso, Matisse, and Warhol come up on their website. The gallery has three locations and represents around 175 artists meaning that what you see in store is only a very small sampling of their actual collection. Though I always am looking for new pieces for my collection, today I went in to have a small print framed. Caitlin, one of their consultants, ably showed me an incredible selection of frames ranging from contemporary to hand-carved, hand-detailed wooden frames worthy of the Louvre and works of art in and of themselves. Having chosen to forgo a mat (not needed with this piece) and a fairly simple thin frame, the price caught me off guard: $216. While the financial part of my brain said "no!" the artistic side said "give it a try." I paid the fee and was told my print would be ready in about two weeks. Caitlin offered to have it delivered to me and installed which I may take them up on. Conclusions: Merritt is a great gallery and framing shop. The price lowers my rating to 4.5 stars (I'm a budget conscious art collector). The only issue I had was when Caitlin and I went upstairs to figure out my invoice she left my print exposed on a framing table. I didn't think much about it till I had left, but I wonder when/if someone went down and secured the print from damage. This lowers my ranking to 4 stars. Otherwise a good experience.

And by other reviews you can see that they've had consistently great business for years and years and years. I just brought with me to Illinois one of the very large pieces they had framed They offer a unique and perfect system for hanging a piece which makes it very easy to level. In my move I lost some of the hardware. They graciously sent me replacement pieces and I am so happy to have the wonderfully framed peace now hanging again with me in my temporary apartment in Illinois. The way I found North Penn Art was by entering a photo contest. It was suggested to use North Penn Art to print and mat our pieces. We could go anywhere we wanted but they mentioned North Penn Art. If professional photographers use a certain printing and framing place you know it's going to be good. And it is!!! THANK YOU TEAM NORTH PENN ART!! ~Diane

In our on-line search, we came across TJ's Painting & Renovations Co. Ted responded promptly to our inquiry, and was able to stop by same-day to take a look at the project. He had a quote out to us by that afternoon, and because of an opening in scheduling, said he could have a team back to our home to work on the project the next day. Frank and Russ were on-site on time the next day and were friendly, polite, and most importantly, did an excellent job. They also hooked up our refrigerator water line for us. Ted checked-in via e-mail after the projects were completed. Our only concern involved invoicing -- there was an increase to the original quote, which, when explained, made sense, but it would have been helpful to been notified of that prior to the increase. The additional work involved re-snaking a new HDMI cord behind the mount, which we, in our ignorance, assumed was related to the TV mount project (and therefore the rate we had agreed on for that project applied). The cable actually fell outside the scope of that. Not a deal-breaker by any means, but would have been great if it was more clearly highlighted -- just to be more accurately prepared for the final total. Ted was courteous in reviewing the invoice over the phone, and we are extremely satisfied with the customer service and the quality of work that TJ's Painting & Renovations Co. provided -- we will be looking to them for future projects.
