I learned that this business had the distinction of being the oldest framing shop in the country dating back to the early 1900's and has remained a family run local business during this time. (Wow! That's impressive!) Initially based out of the Arcade in Downcity Providence, they moved to this location in the 1970's and have continued to expand over time. What you will find today are three massive floors filled with artwork, prints, drawings, ceramics, etc from great local artists in addition to their large framing area. They can handle all types of projects small or large and provide service and support both locally and out of state. They boast quality craftsmanship, lifetime guarantees on their work, and prices that are comparable to what you'd find from the big box chains that offer framing services (no coupon needed!) The difference is the years of knowledge and experience you get when choosing Providence Picture Frame as well as the good feeling you get knowing that you are helping a long time family run store stay in business for future generations. You'll also find friendly employees who care passionately about their business, their community, and helping the customer get exactly what they are looking for. Pro tips: Consider shopping in their gallery for unique and special birthday or holiday gifts. Not sure how to display that special photo, artwork, or sentimental item? Stop by to talk to them about their custom framing ideas and to preserve your one of a kind item for a lifetime.

The lines aren't out of control (even today, on a Saturday before Christmas), the organization is right on target, and the selection (especially the holiday area) is superb! They accept JoAnn or AC Moore coupons (as all Michaels do), which is also a help, and also have great gift-giving ideas, custom framing, and every other aisle possible for any sort of arts and craft project. Besides that one annoying employee, this store is very good. I will be returning during my long treks out to the Shoppes @ Blackstone Valley. 5 stars.

I've always found this company to be professional and I've just recently hired them to do a deck and some interior construction work. It is so nice to be able to hire Professionals that you don't have to stay on top of and watch every day. These people are the real deal they work hard. They have longtime employees.

If I could give Tom more than 5 stars - I certainly would. Finally....finally... a home…read moreimprovement person in Massachusetts who actually shows up and does what they say they will do. I had Tom come out to give me an estimate for a number of small jobs around the house that I needed to get done before putting the house up for sale...some painting, repairing a sticking door, replacing a towel rack that I tried to do myself and royally screwed up, replacing a small deck outside the back door and some patching and painting of drywall that had cracked. First, Tom showed up exactly on time for our appointment for the estimate - first very good sign since my experience with contractors/handymen is that they work on their own time. Tom was super nice and very friendly. He looked at all the work I needed done and took notes. We had a nice conversation and I immediately felt comfortable with having him in my home to do the work without me being there. When the estimate came in it was more than fair for the work to be done. I accepted his estimate and we set for him to start on Monday. Again, based on my past experience, I really didn't expect him to show on Monday, but he did and got a lot of the work done. I was so pleased when I got home and saw how much he had done and that he worked very cleanly. Tom came back on Tuesday to finish up and everything is perfect. The work is high quality and you can't even tell any work was done in the places he fixed/repaired. I could not be more pleased with the great job that Tom did and I would recommend him to anyone and will definitely call him again should I need any work done.

Our Brady Built Sunroom is 33 years old. It was the best investment we have ever made. We have…read morehad to replace a few windows but that's not bad considering its age. It owes us nothing. I had a friend over to visit whom I hadn't seen in years. She walked in and said "Oh, you have a Brady Built"! Her brother had one in his house here in Mass. and was so disappointed when he had to move to NJ. He wished he could have taken the room with him. The Brady Built service has been very responsive and helpful. I would definitely do business with Brady Built again and I highly recommend them.

I'll start by saying that the room is beautiful…read more I'll follow that with, its been rough going. I also want to give some overall advice to not put a hot tub in your sunroom unless it's a HUGE space. It's not worth the hassle and we truly regret the decision. Ours is roughly 200 square feet, which isn't teeny - but clearly not big enough. Despite the design team's assurance that they "install hot tubs in sunrooms all the time" - in the years and years that they have been in business they clearly don't understand the electrical codes that come along with adding a water component to the space. You can't have any outlets or fixtures within 5 feet of your hot tub. That includes the ceiling. We wish this was explained to us. If you are going to go ahead with a tub in the space here's some lighting and electricity considerations: Get track lighting cans built into the room. Yes, you'll lose some glass but you'll save on headaches. Two of the three pre-wired lighting areas that were put into the ceiling cannot be used due to the proximity to the tub. We already purchased all of the lighting elements (track lighting and a fan) over a year ago, as we were instructed to during the design phase. We now have two big silver circles in the ceiling that we'll stare at while we sit in our hot tub. The fan is the biggest bummer. It was something that we really wanted and were told that we could have one, "no problem." The circular light fixture bases that are standard on any lighting element are also larger than the ceiling beams and hang over on both sides of the wood. (see photos) It looks terrible. We would have made a different lighting choice all around if this was explained to us. It's too late to change this. We are stuck with it. We were also sold a super-high-tech de-humidifier fan that wasn't installed properly by the folks at Brady and we are in the midst of figuring that out. God help us if we have to rip open the walls, re-plaster, etc. but it looks like that's where we are headed. And also, while not an electrical issue, we would advise adding a drain to the floor near the tub. A lot of water comes off your body as you get in and out. More than you think. Even on a waterproof floor, we wish we would have put one in. Overall, be sure to check the plan details CAREFULLY, and follow up with Kevin: We were provided the final designs for review and corrected the way the sliding doors were supposed to go and it was never corrected on the final designs. Normally not a huge deal, except that the hot tub is currently blocking the entrance. With everyone clamoring for remodels and with all of the people out due to Covid cases, it's taken over three months to get the correct doors. We are still waiting. Using "their guys": The general contractor from Hillcrest Siding is awesome. Very communicative, considerate and a great craftsman. If you have your own electrician that you like, use them instead. The electrician was not reliable or communicative. We are sensitive to the health issue his family was undergoing, but you need to communicate and keep folks informed. Top 4 Takeaways: 1. Don't put a hot tub in the space unless you have your own electrician review the plans. Our lighting situation isn't great and we are stuck with it. 2. Kevin disappears after the sale has gone through, so don't expect him to take accountability for any of the missteps. Poor Kathi. 3. Don't have the expectation that your room will be up and running 2-3 weeks after it's dropped in from a crane. Site prep started the week of Labor Day. The room was delivered on Sept. 23. We couldn't use the space until Dec. 17. A stick build onsite would have taken roughly the same amount of time and would have been less people to deal with. 4. Budget roughly $10-20k more for your room to pay additional contractors to finish the space. And I'll add that my husband put in the floor, we painted and put in baseboards and the door frame ourselves. Compare the final price to a stick build and see what's worth it.
