      Framations Custom Framing & Art Gallery offers fast, friendly, and affordable custom framing & matting services. With over 60 frame styles in stock, most orders are completed in 1-3 working days. If you don't see a frame style that works for you from our instock frame selections, then choose from our hundreds of special order frame styles!  With over 20 years experience in the custom framing industry, you can rest assured that your work will be handled with care.  We will inform you of all of your choices for custom framing, not just the most expensive ones! We want you to be happy with the framing & matting you choose! 

      We also offer fast custom matting at the best prices! Bring in your frame & we will be happy to cut a mat to fit your frame for you. And usually,  this can be done while you wait! 
We carry a full color line of Crescent decorative grade matting instock. Conservation Matting is available by special order. We can also create multiple opening (or collage) matting for you! Additional Window openings are only $1.50 for each extra opening!
   
   At Framations, we use acrylic (not glass) in our custom frames. Acrylic is much lighter and safer. (Glass shatters on impact, often destroying your artwork. Acrylic may crack, but it will not shatter. It is also safer to hang above your sofas, beds & in children's rooms!) We also carry Novus acrylic cleaners instock to care for your framed artwork. 

      Just need a new piece of acrylic, backing, or hangers? Great! See us at Framations for repairs & replacements pieces. We will do our best to fix it for you, but if we cannot... we will tell you that, too! Hopefully, we will be able to recommend someone to you, also.

    At Framations, we strive for the absolute BEST customer service! Whether your order is $1.00 or $1,000,000.00, we treat all of our customers with the same fantastic customer care. If you need no pressure advise on your order, help picking out framing or matting or artwork, questions about pricing, or need referrals for services we cannot provide, please contact us! We are here to help! We want you to enjoy your framed artwork....your way!
