Services we offer you.

We will build you a SHADOWBOX to hold your important collection

We will REPLACE your broken picture glass

Replacing your broken picture glass is not a problem.

We stock most sizes and types of picture frame glass .

Picture from glass comes in standard clear, non-reflective, and conservation, which offers 99% UV protection.

In addition, the glazing can be replaced with picture frame grade acrylic in clear, non-reflective, and conservation.

If you wish the very best protection for your artwork, we will replace it with museum-grade glass or acrylic for the utmost protection

We will CLEAN and REFRISH your oil painting

When your oil paintings need a little help bringing new life back into them, give us a call.

Most paintings only need a good cleaning and new varnish to bring that renewed life back, but if they need more help, we can repair the image with new oil paint, but sometimes the canvas needs to be repaired first.

That is called relining the painting with new canvas behind the original oil painting.

Give us a call to set up an appointment.

We will RESTORE or REPAIR your photograph

We can generally restore damaged photographs and replace damaged areas with cloned images.


Most pictures are not damaged to this extent and only require color or minor detail repair.



We are able to remove and replace unwanted image parts and create the image the photographer wanted to capture but was unable to reproduce.

We will create a CREATIVE CUSTOM mat

 to display your artwork.

Our computerized mat cutter will cut any design. Using our design software, we can reproduce your designs into a beautiful mat for your artwork.


                 At our studio, the only limits are the boundaries of your imagination and how we can best collaborate

                              to bring your ideas to life.



Bring your artwork into our studio and let us help you with your designs.

We will REPAIR your broken wooden picture frame.

Most broken picture frames, except plastic and bent metal frames, can be repaired. Frames with decorated corners must have one or more intact and reproducible corners.

It must be understood that a repaired frame is not new and may show some signs of repair. Broken and missing corners, side rails, and other damage to the finishes cannot always be repaired.

We will build you a custom MIRROR frame.

A new mirror will light up a room.


The first thing we need to know is what your new mirror will look like.  Do you want a flat mirror or do you want a bevel edge around the outer edge. When you use a  1/4" or 3/8" mirror you can bevel the edge from 1" to 3" around the mirror.


Now lets pick the frame (if you want a frame) and pick the finish and type of material  the  frame is to made from --solid wood, compo or metal finish.


Everything is up to you and where you're going  to hang it.



Stop by our studio today for us to help you.

If you don't see the service listed above --- just ask us to preform it for you.

All framing services are preformed to meet or exceed CONSERVATION STANDARDS.
