Services
At the Art of Framing, we have available convenient services such as in home or office consultation along with delivery and installation.
In Home or Office Consultation
Benefit from the convenience of having one of our creative and experienced designers come to your home or office to help make suggestions for art and art placement. With an impressive art archive ranging from open edition prints, limited edition giclees, to original paintings and photographs, we can find what you are looking for and accommodate your taste and budget. Let us save you time by taking all of your measurements, being mindful of your color(s), lighting, furniture, and overall tastes. We will work with you on an individual basis to make sure each piece of artwork selected, along with its coordinated framing, is a piece that demonstrates your vision for the environment in which you work or live.
Delivery/Installation/Curation
Delivery and Installation services are available to both our residential and corporate clients. Whether its one frame or 50, our professional and insured installers can safely handle the installation of large and heavy pieces or extra tall walls. We also specialize in artistic groupings and layout. Security hangers can be utilized in public spaces or tight areas such as hallways. Pieces are “locked” to ensure they do not fall or be removed.
We have been offering this service to our clients for some time and through our experience have encountered all types of walls. We have always been able to accommodate this service in a quick and professional manner leaving your artwork hanging level, at the “correct” height, and your walls clean with only the necessary hole(s) needed to safely secure your artwork.
This is a great and convenient service for the newly remodeled home/office, the recently moved or simply those with a surplus of framed items still in need of finding a wall.
For information about pricing or to schedule an appointment, please call.
Recycle/Renew
New materials and processes ensure the longevity of your artistic pieces. For this reason, we encourage our customers to bring in existing framed work that may show signs of fading, general wear, insect damage or if they would simply like to breath new life into something familiar. We can assess the matting, backing, and glass, making suggestions for material replacement if necessary (acid free mats/mounts & UV glass). Because we’ll use your frame, this can be a relatively inexpensive way to not only transform your work, but ensure its preservation. We also offer general cleaning service, lite frame repair, and glass replacement.
