Jimmy tried to talk me into a double mat and then pretended that I didn't understand what he was saying while he made the double part an extra back. I asked how he would attach the painting and he said not to worry. He attached it in two spots at the top so that the bottom curls up. I'm an artist. I usually do this kind of thing myself. I'll use acid free photo corners to secure the painting - something I expect a profssional to do. I also asked for the bottom of the mat to be wider than the top and sides so the finished product would be a rectangle. He couldn't be bothered with that so I have a square. Making the bottom wider is a standard system. I didn't ask for a fix as I was so insulted by my first encounter where he played that I didn't understand English. Probably he's good if you're not familiar with framing and go with his direction but not if you have an idea of what you want. There are other framers in the neighborhood.

After exploring a handful of frame studios in Manhattan, I found Jimmy, and I feel so lucky to work…read morewith him. I'm a visual artist, and Jimmy and his team have framed all my hand-pulled silkscreen pieces. He knows the art world well, having owned a gallery/frame studio in the Upper West Side before focusing specifically on framing. If there are any issues with frames, Jimmy is always understanding and does what he can to rectify them. The photos below include pieces that are all custom-framed by Jimmy and his team. Anti-glare / UV-protected acrylic, with white matting, all-black frames, and always acid-free. Don't overlook Jimmy and his team when looking for custom framing.

Popped in ahead on Memorial Day to confirm they could do a simple custom mat for a prebuilt frame…read moreand poster. Was told yes, came in same day with materials ready for the purchase. The moment I started looking at mat color options, literally the core of the job, was asked to leave. No explanation, no apology, just "can you please leave" When I expressed frustration about being turned away after a decade of business and confirming in advance, I was told to come back the next day and leave my art with them. I refused and left. This is inexplicable service. I understand bad days happen, but losing a 10-year customer over a simple mat selection because of one person's mood is shortsighted. I won't be back.

The shop owner was super friendly and worked with me to find the best frames to make the items pop more. After everything was picked out, I was ready for a hefty estimate. I've gotten a couple pieces similar to this framed in Midtown for around $250, so I was expecting it to be close to that. However, he told me it was $94 and I was ecstatic! The wait time was around 2 weeks (including Thanksgiving weekend), so no complaints there. The finished product was awesome too, I loved it. Would definitely come back here to get more work done in the future.

The same-day framing appointment was helpful because it has sentimental value, and we really appreciated not having to leave the painting at the shop (although plenty of paintings were stored for safekeeping / framing there). It was also super cool to watch Joe and his team do the measurements, mat and glass cutting, and frame assembly by hand with specialized tools.
