    Tile from our trip to Lisbon
    Jim S.

    I could not be more pleased with the framing that was done 5 18th St. framing. You buy things overseas and they're cheap and you come back here and they always cost five times as much to get them framed. So I'm always a little nervous. Not only was 18th St. framing reasonably priced but look at the amazing job they did. Even better, they completed the job on time and they delivered the finished item to my house! Fantastic job guys.

    I took in two pieces of art I wanted framed and could not be happier by the job that AK did. I appreciated his opinion on what backing color and texture to use to compliment the art. He was so kind and appreciative of my business and even stayed open a few minutes late so I could pick up the piece. I cannot recommend him more!!

    We had two prized prints by American artist Josh Agle (aka Shag) framed and they turned out beautifully. By the way, the prints are "Are We Not Men", a collaboration with Devo, and "Dolce, Dolce, Dolce", an homage to Fellini's films. The owner really knows what he's doing and we were so pleased that he took the time to discuss the myriad of frame, mat and glass options in order to create the perfect look. We were so happy with his work that he's currently framing two vintage movie posters for us.

    This is the best framing store in DC. I had a pretty special print in need of a frame- so I took it to 18th Street Framing (after visiting a few other shops). I found AK very accommodating, fairly priced, quick and even offered to drop it off when he finished. All which went seamlessly. A month or so after- my framed print fell off the wall and i quickly brought it back to AK. We soon discovered there were numerous scratches after the glass shattered. AK offered me a reasonable price to replace the glass and he offered to touch up some of the scratches on the print. He did a marvelous job restoring the print and I couldn't even tell where the scratches are. He also dropped it off and helped me secure it to the wall. All at no additional cost. His work is marvelous!

    My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience with 18th St. Framing. We had four pieces we needed framed. They were very helpful in helping us stay within our budget by giving us options on how to do so. We went to a few shops before we came here and did t get near the same level of service. Our pieces have been framed and we are so happy with the quality! We will use them for all our future framing needs.

    My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience here. AK helped my boyfriend with all aspects of designing a custom shadow box frame to house corks from some of our favorite dates, and he put it together beautifully. His work is precise and exceeded our expectations. We realized about a month after we picked up the frame that we had actually gotten one of the printed dates wrong, and AK fixed it for us no problem--he's super friendly and easy to work with. We will treasure this piece for years to come, and we expect to return to AK for all of our future framing needs!

    In the last year I have had five items framed or repaired by 18th Street Framing. This is the best place to bring your paintings, or and article you need framed, in Washington. I have used other framers in Georgetown and nearby locations, but none are as knowledgeable and priced as reasonably as 18th Street. A special mention of Abbe who is extremely helpful in selecting the right frame for each painting.

    Phenomenal job every time. Attention to detail. Clean finishes. You get what you pay for. Cant recommend them enough.

    I have thought about making a coaster collage for years, and AK at 18th Street Framing made it happen! He was tremendous to work with -- offering guidance, suggestions on how to create the collage, and even picking up and dropping off the piece through the various stages of the process. I could not be happier with how it turned out! Thank you so much! Would highly recommend this business to anyone looking for fair prices and excellent service.

    UPDATE (3/23/18): A few weeks after I posted my review, the owner of 18th Street Framing called me to apologize for the scratches on my New Yorker puzzle and offered to fix it and reframe it free of charge. He even gave me a full refund on the Groupon I used to pay for it, as well as any additional charges. I was skeptical at first at how he would be able to fix the white marks, but he painted over them, and now I can't even notice where they were. A job well done! He also offered to frame my next puzzle for free!

    I keep coming back to here because I know the work is good. My most recent frame I acquired myself and he cut to order the map to fit. Furthermore I had a custom cabinet doors made that needed glass and he cut glass for me. Timely and professional. Thank you AK.

    I took in a crumpled drawing and got back a work of art. So happy!!

    This is a great little shop. I initially went in with a Groupon, and was admittedly surprised to find that the piece I wanted framed would cost more than the $200 the Groupon was worth, but quickly realized that I just didn't know very much about framing (getting anything framed is expensive). I gave AK, the owner, a Korean drawing on crumpled paper, and I almost didn't recognize the beautiful piece of art I got back. He took the time to steam it, or iron it out, which made it look so, so beautiful. The matting and framing is just gorgeous -- and he spent ages with me going over various options for mat colors, frame styles, and glass so that it would be just right. I was so happy with my purchase that I went back a second time, for a smaller piece of art, and I'm equally as thrilled. Bonus: even without the Groupon, you get $50 credit towards your next purchase every time you have something framed. (Also, for my second piece of art, which would have been $70 after the $50 off, AK said if I was willing to pay cash, he'd accept $40. Really nice guy.) I understand the negative reviews about high pricing -- but as I said, framing in general is very expensive. If you want high quality, professional work, this is a great place to turn to.

    No glare museum glass!

    Beautiful work, and they honored a Groupon that wasn't technically supposed to be used for this type of frame. Just great service.

    AK was very kind to help me with hooks and mounts for an antique Chinese screen. He did a great job and I was pleased with the service.
