Framing services
Every frame is designed around your piece, your room and your budget. Here’s what Joe frames most often, and answers to the questions people ask most.
The perfect fit
Plain wood, painted finishes, ornate gold and everything in between. Choose your moulding and mats with Joe, right alongside the piece you love.
What we frame
Art & prints
From high-end, handcrafted framing for your most precious artwork to budget-minded frames for posters and prints. Joe will help you pick a moulding and mat that suit both the piece and the room it’s going to.
Photographs
Wedding portraits, school pictures and the old family photo in the drawer. Framing them well is also how you help preserve them.
Diplomas & certificates
High-quality diploma frames are on hand, and any diploma, certificate, license or award can be custom framed to match an office or a home.
Jerseys & memorabilia
Game-worn or signed jerseys and other sports memorabilia, mounted in deep shadow boxes so they keep their shape and stay protected.
Military medals & awards
Medals, ribbons and service awards arranged and framed with the care they deserve, for a home wall or as a family gift.
Shadow boxes & keepsakes
Anything with depth gets a shadow box: a newborn’s first hat, a wedding invitation with quilled flowers, an heirloom you don’t want in a drawer.
Clippings & documents
Newspaper features, letters and announcements matted so they stay flat, readable and easy to admire.
Custom mirrors
Pick a moulding and Joe will make a framed mirror in the size you need. It’s an easy way to refresh an entryway, bath or mantel.
Options for every budget
From high-end, handcrafted framing to budget-minded projects, there’s an option for every piece. Joe will show you a few side by side.

Diploma frames in stock and simple, well-made frames for posters and prints.
Custom
Your choice of moulding, mats and glazing, cut to fit your piece exactly.
Heirloom
High-end, handcrafted framing for your most precious artwork and family pieces.
A few good questions
It depends on the size of the piece and the moulding, mats and glazing you choose. Joe will walk you through options at different price points so you can pick what fits your budget. For a ballpark, text a photo and the measurements to 860-995-6534.
It depends on the materials for your project, so ask Joe when you order. If you have a date in mind, like a graduation, wedding or gift, tell him up front. Rush service is available.
Just stop in during shop hours. Joe runs the shop himself, so for a big project a quick call or text first makes sure he’s ready for you.
Bring the piece itself if you can, so you can see samples right next to it. If it’s large, fragile or hard to move, text a photo with the measurements first.
