This is the first and last time I will ever take anything to be framed at Lake City Picture…read moreFraming. Point blank, the shop is unable to deliver a quality product on time or by their own self imposed deadlines for remakes, but the owner made the entire experience even worse. I was referred to Lake City Picture Framing to frame a great print by Sylvia Gonzalez. I was so excited when I picked it up on Dec 16, I didn't see the issues. It was a $220 job for a basic black wood frame 20 by 36 with spacers. Artwork was already mounted on backer board to float in the frame. After I hung it noticed one of the corners had such huge gap that you could stick a dime in it; all four corners were messed up. If you do woodworking you'll understand. When they cut the wood, it obviously wasn't at a 90 degree angle to the saw. So not only were they cutting a 45, they were also cutting an angle from the front to back of the frame. I called that same day about the issues and was told to bring it back in. I wasn't able to take it back until Dec 23. The interaction I had with the owner that day just left me just dumbfounded. * She would not take responsibility or apologize for the poor workmanship. * She rudely stated that the artwork would be floating in the frame. That's the way it is supposed to be. That's not the issue. * She seemed annoyed that the frame had to be remade. If they had done it right the first time, I would not have been there and they wouldn't be doing it a 2nd time. (And now a 3rd time.) * She would not give me a receipt for the artwork; I had to ask for it. For the second time, I'm handing over a piece of art that I paid good money for. Yes, I would like a receipt from you acknowledging you have the artwork. * When confirming my phone number since they never called, she claimed people don't set up their voicemail or delete messages. She repeated that twice. My mother left me a voicemail earlier that same day; my voicemail works. Stop blaming the customer for your employee potentially dialing the wrong number. * She stated the new frame would be done on Friday, December 26, but then back tracked right as I walked out of the shop. Surprisingly, I received a call the next day that the frame was already done. They rushed it for me. Yup rushed. All four corners not aligned with gaps. One corner was even scratched up. Try three here we come. Jan 3rd, since I hadn't heard from them, I called. Employee stated she didn't know the status and since the shop was so busy would I mind a call back. No problem. Call back was from the owner. She started down the same path about how I wasn't satisfied with the work, they've been in business for over 40 years and the corners were "only slightly off." When I called out the fact that there were gaps in all four corners and one corner was even scratched up, her attacking attitude diminished. HOWEVER, she stated point blank her shop does not guarantee that frames will not have scratches. What?! A brand, new $220 frame coming out of her shop can have scratches?! I asked her to clarify what she meant and she reiterated what she said adding that the scratches were from the frame stock they use. So why use scratched stock to begin with? She stated it would be completed by January 6. On my way home from the office Jan 6 around 2:45pm, I called to see if it was ready. Nope. Spoke with owner; again abrupt and rude. Long story short. Not done. She stated it was on the table being worked and that it would be finished after an employee came back from lunch. Ready for pickup at 5pm. Because of the time from my home to LCPF, I stopped by my way home from work on the 7th. Again, not done. Well, I finally rescued my artwork today, Jan 8th. Let's just say black frames will show every imperfection especially big ones. I'm done dealing with them. Yet, I unfortunately had one more interaction with the owner. This time she actually apologized. Seriously, how many interactions later? Too little, way too late. I stated I don't want to talk to her, but she wanted to keep on talking and prove how she was right. I called out the fact that it wasn't done the day prior even though she told me it would be done two days earlier. She went down the excuse path. If there truly was an issue with one of her employees, where was the call telling me not to come Jan 6 at 5pm. There wasn't one. Had someone called me, I wouldn't have been as annoyed on Jan 7th. As I was walking out of the shop, she stated "I just can't satisfy you." I responded "No, you can't." Honestly, I really feel sorry for the employees of the shop. If the owner is treating customers this poorly, how bad does she treat them? The only thing I can say to the owner is "Own the poor workmanship, stop with the excuses, inform your customers, don't attack your customers and just apologize when things go wrong." And the only thing I can say to a prospective customer, "Don't go there."

Several months ago I ordered a large framed print of a high resolution digital image (65 MB) that I bought from/off of alamy.com. The saturation was inadequate, resulting in a print that did not match the intense coloration (sapphire blues and deep orange yellows) of Van Gogh's "Starry Night" (MOMA). Then a month ago I ordered a smaller canvas print. The colors diverged wildly from the original digital print, almost different hues for the sky. The image is blurred, as if some photo-mechanical problem had occurred in the production process. Furthermore, there is a conspicuous fold in the lower left where the frame bar had creased it (see photo). This was quite careless on the part of whoever either stretched the canvas to the wooden bars or packed it. For the price I paid for a single image, I could have bought a nice coffee table art book with plenty of high quality images. Very disappointed. I contacted the owner but never heard back from him. ***** Where to go? Northwest Fine Art Printing? Moonlight?

I was called in early April indicating the frame design was no longer being made and had to choose an alternative so I went to the business which sadly did not have much of a selection but chose the only decent one I could find. I had initially been told by the owner Rob that my item would be ready by April 17th however, the time came and went and then Rob emailed me and said it would be ready the following week but the time came and went without a followup. I called on April 24th and said I would like a refund as I had already put $107. as a down payment and no longer have any trust in the company. I don't know what happened to this business as they were open during the pandemic and have had more than enough time to catch up. If not, they need to quit taking new orders.
