FAQs

What does it cost to frame . . . ?
Price is dependent on and varies with size, framing procedures used, and design elements chosen for your particular art piece. Frames Unlimited's knowledgeable staff will recommend appropriate procedures explaining their benefit as well as offer design options to enhance your artwork. All design and price quotes are free of charge; so come in, bring your artwork, and explore the options.

How long does framing take?
Generally most framing requires one to two weeks depending on the materials needed. Some things we can do for you immediately while you browse or finish your shopping for the day. You may select a one-of-a-kind handmade product which might require several weeks for completion. Short on time? Please let us know, we like to accommodate every need.

Does my artwork stay in your store while it is being framed?
Yes. All work is done by our professional staff on premise at the Frames Unlimited store you visit. Framing materials may be ordered and shipped to our store to complete your framing project. The only exceptions are items requiring shipment to our Restoration Department.

Does Frames Unlimited frame needlework?
Yes. We frame all types of needlework including cross stitch, needlepoint, crewel, hooked rugs, tapestry, and all types of fabric art.

Will you frame my artwork using a frame I bring to you?
Sure. We are happy to use your grandfather's antique frame or any framing materials you may already have.

What is a dry mount and why would I want it?
A dry mount is a procedure used to adhere a print or poster to a stable backing board and guarantees your artwork will not ripple or wave. Despite glass and backing support, without this procedure your print will ripple as it expands and contracts with the changes of temperature and humidity in your home.

What if my question is not answered here?
