F.A.Q. Why is custom framing so expensive?
Compared to what? From the cradle to the grave nearly everything in our world is mass-produced. (cheers to Henry Ford) Our clothing, our vehicles, our home furnishings, our computers and ready-made frames...you get the picture? The more items manufactured in any category, the cheaper the selling price. Even ART can be mass-produced (outrageous!). Custom framing is a unique blend of retail, manufacturing, artistic creation and craftsmanship.
When you bring your precious possessions to All About Frames for custom framing we work with you to design the perfect one-of-a-kind framing package for your life and lifestyle. Since your possessions are unique to you (your Grandfather's portrait, your daughter's diploma, your son's baby clothes, your Aunt's painting) the framing will be unique to you as well.
Even when customers bring in reproductions of famous paintings or art gallery posters, no two pieces of art ever leave the shop "dressed alike."

Quality custom framing, like quality furniture, will outlast the paint,
wallpaper, the carpeting and
Quality custom framing will outlast all of the clothing,
technological systems and appliances you will ever own.
Quality custom framing possesses the unique ability to become an heirloom
as it passes from generation to generation
and still looking as good as the day it was created.
