"Doug is the type of business owner we search to support in "St Small". You will not find anyone more knowledgeable or more fair priced for framing or stretching canvas than Doug in the twin cities. He has become my go-to guy for floating frames and canvas stretching. He lives by the old school Customer Service principles. One time the canvas stretching came out slightly different than I expected [not his fault, we got our wires crossed when we were trying to communicate about the project] and without question he took the piece back and redid everything for free. I felt terrible about that, I wanted to pay him, but he won't even take my money. He stands by his product. He is such a kind and genuine business owner that cares for his customer. He has even re stretch canvases for me FOR FREE that were done by a competitor (in highland park, I'll just leave it at that) that charged 300% what Doug charges. I'm not trying to make this Review sound like it's all about his prices or freebies. I'm actually someone that will pay top dollar as long as the job is well done. Perfectionist here. I'm not looking for a deal. It just happens to be that Doug does the best job but also gives the best prices in the area. He's probably going to be retiring in the next few years, and it will be a loss for the city. Thank you, Doug, for all you have done for your St. Paul community over the years! You're what small business owners should strive to be like."

"The best place in the Twin cities for all your framing needs!
I've had Doug frame several pieces of the years. Always more than pleased with his work."

"I have worked with Doug for quite a number of years now, and his framing skills are second to none. It's always enjoyable to stop in, enjoy the art gallery, and to spend a few minutes chatting about art in general! "

"This framing shop and gallery sits right at the bottom of Ramsey Hill on Grand Ave. We had several pieces to frame. The owner has a ton of experience and helped us out immensely. Check that off our list."
