Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair or restore an older or damaged frame?

Yes. We regularly repair and restore frames, including older decorative frames that need to be touched up, refinished, or brought back to their original condition. Bring the frame in and we’ll assess it with you.

Do you restore oil paintings?

Yes. If an oil painting is fading, stained, chipped, or needs cleaning, bring it in. We handle oil painting restoration on site and will review the piece with you before starting any work.

Do you offer picture hanging services?

Yes. We have picture hanging available. We employ people who can hang larger, heavier, or more complex pieces so the artwork is secured safely on the wall. Contact us with the size and location details.

Can you frame large pieces (such as 42" x 63" or bigger)?

Yes. We can frame pieces up to 4 by 8 feet. Let us know the dimensions when you call or bring the piece in so we can plan the design, materials, and timeline.

Do you offer museum-grade or conservation framing?

Yes. We frequently build conservation-grade frames using museum glass (or 99% UV-protective acrylic), acid-free materials, proper mounting techniques (including floating mounts), and spacers so the artwork does not touch the glazing. This is a common request for fine art prints and valuable pieces.

What materials do you use for conservation work?

We use 100% acid-free cotton rag matboard, reversible archival hinging (no permanent adhesives), museum glass or UV-protective acrylic, and frame spacers when needed. We can match these specifications for pairs or sets of pieces.

How long does frame repair or oil painting restoration take?

It depends on the condition and complexity of the piece. We’ll give you a clear timeline after we see the item. Most custom framing and repair work is done on site.

Do you work with unusual sizes or special pieces?

Yes. Unusual sizes, large works, and special pieces are a normal part of our custom work. Bring the piece in or send dimensions and photos so we can advise.
