He's also one of the single nicest, friendliest people I've ever had the good fortune to do business with. I'm already looking around my home to figure out what I'm going to have framed next.

Over the past year or so, I've brought in around eleven different pieces to be framed--everything from photos to larger artwork--and all of them have turned out beautifully. I've worked mostly with Vinh, Brian, and Helen, and they've all been incredibly helpful throughout the process. What I appreciate most is that they meet you wherever you are in terms of ideas. Sometimes I come in with a pretty clear vision for how I want something framed, and other times I'm not sure at all. In both cases they've been great about walking through options and helping me land on something that looks really polished. Framing can sometimes feel a little intimidating if you're not used to it, but this store makes the process very easy and approachable. Turnaround times have also been faster than I expected on the pieces I've brought in. At this point it's become my go-to spot whenever I have something I want framed.

I did some research online and came across TR framing so we thought we'd stop in to see what they had to offer. We came in on a Saturday afternoon and were helped right away. We brought the painting with us and told the owner what type of frame and color we were looking for, there's a large selection. Once we narrowed it down to two we asked the owner his opinion and he actually told us to go with the lower priced of the two options, which I appreciated. The initial quote came close to $380 and with our 40% off coupon I found online the total frame job came to $225. So to recap, the first framer quoted us at $900 and TR Framer was able to do the same job for $225. I'm not sure what these other yelpers are expecting framing to cost, but it's very clear that TR framers is extremely reasonable compared to other companies. Also they were upfront for the cost of every frame we chose, you just have to ask for the quote before making your decision. This company has been in business for 19 years so they're clearly doing something right. We'll certainly be back!

We brought in a beautifully painted, old family picture of an 18th century square-rigged ship that had been captained by my wife's great grandfather. We wanted it appraised, cleaned and protected. After taking a look at the picture, the experts at Buchanan and Kiguel noted that the painting (which was on a board) was warping and just starting to crack the paint, and they recommended that it be flattened by attaching it to a secondary acid free back-board, that it get a thorough cleaning, that it be re-varnished for protection and that it get reframed, as the existing frame did not go well with the picture. We agreed to their recommendations and were easily convinced that the frame they recommended would significantly enhance the picture presentation. We were given an appraisal and an estimate for the work and were told that it would take about a month to complete the work. A week later, we got a call, telling us that as they got into the cleaning process, they determined that the picture had been originally varnished over some of the dirt (soot) and that they would likely damage the picture if they tried to perform the deep cleaning that they had originally proposed. They recommended that we go with only a surface cleaning to ensure they didn't damage the picture. We agreed with their recommendation. The picture was completed about 3 weeks later and when we picked it up, we were thrilled. The warping was gone, the picture was noticeably cleaner and brighter, it had been reframed and varnished as promised and it looked beautiful. Most importantly, they took the care necessary to ensure that the painting was properly protected from further cracking and exposure to environmental damage. The final cost was over $200 less than their estimate due to the reduction in the level of cleaning. What was clear to us was that they treated our picture like it was their own, they knew what they were doing and that they were skilled enough to do the work properly. We were very happy with the result and would recommend Buchanan and Kiguel to anyone who had artwork that needed expert advise and care.
