Bottom line - it is slightly more pricier than what I'm used to, but I have found the quality to be impeccable! I had a really awkwardly shaped object that I wanted to be framed and he made it happen! Everyone was explained to me and it was super professional read more

Absolutely fantastic time with Allerton Framing. Brought in two posters and Jaman -- the owner -- was incredibly quick, efficient, and nice. He had my posters (two 20x28 pieces) done in under a week. I chose to get simple black framing and they were done perfectly for a great price. Would definitely recommend Allerton to anyone looking to get great framing done well, quickly, and efficiently! read more

Wanted to reframe a piece that had been removed and shipped, and brought to Allerton with a Groupon. Never felt that my piece was treated differently with the discount. Was patient and made some great frame recommendations based on my preferences and I'm really pleased with the hardwood we selected. My oversized piece required special order of museum glass and mat board, and there was a slight delay as the original mat was damaged in shipping but they wanted to make sure my piece was perfect (which it is). Custom framing isn't cheap, but I think it is worth it for those special items. read more

I used a Groupon coupon worth $200. I brought two similar prints of exactly the same size - 8.5" x 12" and asked for a simple framing to the edge. He quoted $120. During this he: a. Damaged one of my other white prints I wanted a quote for - he had ink on his thumb and picked it up without gloves. b. Insisted I forfeit the remaining value of my Groupon since "it's a one-time use" - I had to argue for 5 minutes so that he would allow me to come back later with another print to frame. When I picked it up, prints were off center - he cut off the top of one of my prints, and framed the other so that it overlapped over an inch at the top of the print. It looked awful, I argued, he said that it was my fault since I requested framing to the edge, and he can't do anything about it "due to Groupon" read more

After many months of deliberation, I entrusted Jaman with the sentimental job of framing my Grandma's sweater, a keepsake I've held close to my heart for years. Jaman did an impeccable job! A delicate shadow box with museum quality glass and invisible craftsmanship that captured the aliveness and tenderness of that little sweater. Thank you, Jaman. I look forward to returning with my next framing project! read more

Had custom framing done for a few excerpts from a newspaper article and they did a fantastic job. Used a Groupon for this as well, and ended up paying a little more for some additional options. Price is much more reasonable than some of the other locations I went to for an estimate. read more

Really a good place to get works framed and the owner is super nice. Since I lost the screws, he helped me get it fixed.

My experience with Allerton Framing was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! Impeccable work, kindness and top notch customer service! I had 2 Japanese scrolls, one of which very big. That kind of delicate fabric is hard to frame and as I said the quality of the work was impeccable. I highly recommend Allerton Framing. Worth every penny and more! Review by Alex Montaldo read more

it was a little nerve racking getting professional framing done for the first time but thankfully I came to the right place. Jaman the owner was very helpful in getting the right look for my pieces. I really felt that he was passionate about his work and that he cared about doing a great job. Picking up my artwork and having the framing revealed was the best part. It was beyond expectation. Beautiful craftsmanship. I am very proud of the framing job and look at my walls with joy. Thank you Jaman! I will definitely be back if I need framing done soon. Highly recommended and the turn around was not long. read more

I have used Allerton several times and all times i have been attracted to their services and professionalism.Each time that i came in i was treated warmly and had great experiences with its staffs.

I gave them 5 stars becoz what they suggest or advice u totally affordable, good behavior, professionalism, what they says they give that. So u can trust on them. And finally again, you do get what you pay for..... read more

I purchased a Living Social coupon for services and was so impressed with their work. They were very helpful in the consultation and frame selection, super timely in the framing itself, and then very friendly when I picked up the works we had framed. They have great, transparent pricing (and a good value) and do a fantastic job with the framing. Our works look beautiful finally mounted on the wall! I will definitely be back to have more artwork framed. read more

This place is amazing! I walked in cold off the street with a sacred, antique Buddhist Art piece I brought back from Mynamar. It depicts the life of Buddha hand painted over 100 years ago by monks. There was no way to attach it to hang on the wall, and I thought if just nailing it in but that would have destroyed this valuable work of art. The owner of this shop, stopped what he was doing, found a piece of wood the exact color of the top edges, created a panel, painted, scraped the wood until it was a type of top frame. It was like watching an artist work. He was a perfectionist and I was simply a walk in. He even took out colors and made sure the hole created by attaching the hook to safely hang my artwork was flawlessly colored, measured, cut in exact proportions. Then he was going to just let me walk out, free. I of course tipped him and will from now on bring all my framing needs to Allerton Art and Custom Framing as they are artists in their own right and care about customers like me. I would award this store 10 stars, but I am only allowed to give 5. Great place- come here! read more

I brought in an artwork made of silk. Jaman was incredibly helpful and did a wonderful job. I will go back for sure.

Professional and great value. Alpert on Custom Framing did a great job with our painting!

Jaman at Allerton is amazing! Very helpful and professional. He quoted me a very reasonable price for a custom cut piece of glass and could it do it same day. When I came into the shop to pick it up Jaman had the glass all ready and offered to reframe the art work with the new glass and my frame at no charge! And he was quite friendly too. Thanks. read more

The owner is so incredibly nice. I'm a bit of a DIY-er and he always has time to help with any project that I started but can't fully complete or have issues with like screws coming out of the back of a store bought frame. I wish I had more money to rely on him completely for my framing needs, but he's always so happy to help with any of my DIY mishaps. He has very generous hours, is very welcoming and I salute him for his stalwart worthiness as a pillar of our community! Cheers to a good guy! read more

This guy is one of the best in the city. Fair prices, helpful guidance, always does great work, and is both courteous and professional with all communications. Will continue to use Allerton with pleasure! Thanks for making my apt look so good! read more

They advertise "museum quality custom framing". Now I don't know what museum they are referring to but never in my life have I seen so poorly framed art and such lack of professionalism in a musuem. After spending over $300 on custom framing for a vintage map I was pretty happy about I decided to bring them the rest of my framing needs. First, a new matting. I bring my measurements without bringing the original frame nor the art. Granted I screwed up because my measurements were off and I ended having to redo the whole thing. This time I bring the old matting and the art with me and ask for an off-white matting instead of white. The day I'm supposed to pick up my order, the guy opens the package and surprise it's the same thing I had left them, my old matting and my art. Ooops, they forgot to do the work. He apologizes and asks me to come back the following week. Which I do. This time, surprise, it's not the right color. 'Am I sure I'd ask for off-white? Uh, yea, I'm sure, you even showed me different off-whites I was supposed to pick from. Oh okay, no problem, come back next week. Now that's where I should have stopped but silly me asked for more. The following week I finally pick up the finished matting (right color but strangely very thick...the guy had taken upon himself to give me this type rather than the one I had ordered, citing better quality matting..I find it odd that he can take decisions like that without consulting me first but at this point I don't even ask questions anymore) and I also bring a quite expensive piece acquired last year from a well-known up and coming artist. Dumb. I mean I had gotten fairly affordable quotes from Lee's and A.I. Friedman which I should have sticked with. But hey, Allerton is family owned, mom & pops neighborhood shop and I wasn't gonna give them grief for a silly matting. Wrong. I picked my frame, tried to bring the price down a bit and was offered museum quality glass which I thought was very thoughtful as well as great deal for $400. Back home I decide to put my first artwork back into its frame with the new thick matting which I hadn't asked for. Surprise. I find one wave on the paper in the middle of the piece. I'm furious but too too tired to argue. I decide I won't call them, won't tell them. I'm getting sick of them and sick to my stomach thinking about my expensive art still at their shop. I expect the worst. Granted. When it's time to pick it up this is what happened: each of the 4 sides of the frame have a different size border between the frame and the white of my piece, 1/8 of an inch here, a bit more on this side, a bit less on that side, the bottom part is the best: they managed to cut the number of my piece (it's a numbered limited edition)! I will save you the ensuing argument as I'm already getting tired of this review and probably you are too. They redid the job that's for sure, but not without me and another customer in the shop explaining to the owner how to do it so all four sides would be even. One more week of torture waiting to see if i will get my art back and in what condition. Well that's how I got it back: two scratches on the frame, and one dirt patch on the back of it which i had to scrape with my finger nail, oh and not to mention a botched frame cutting job which resulted in paint chipping at the cut site and sligthly but clearly revealing the wood of the frame. The bottom line: great little place to frame an inexpensive poster and for people who are not looking for perfection, people who know exactly what they want and don't require the expertise, the skills or the advice of a professional. The family who runs the place seems nice enough and that too is important.So for for these two reasons they get 2 stars. This is definitely not museum quality framing, and as a matter of fact I wonder if they ever set foot in the Chelsea galleries nearby. I took my next project to A.I. Friedman yesterday and I can only hope I did the right thing. read more

I've taken almost all of my frame repairs and replacements to them, as well as a couple of new framings for some odd-shaped/dimensional work and they've done good work every time. Their own suggestions for styles I usually dispense with, and I can't claim they're the best at understanding what you're trying to go for if you're describing a project. If you need someone to hold your hand through the whole process of selecting frames, mats, etc, this might not be the ideal place. However, if you're comfortable picking out frames, mats, and glasses, they do very good, affordable (I usually find them the same price or slightly cheaper than the other neighborhood framing galleries), and QUICK (when you need it) work. read more

I was given a Groupon for Christmas so went to redeem it. Jaman was so helpful in helping me picking frames for my pictures. The pictures came out beautiful and can't wait to hang them on the wall. Very professional and friendly owner. I will definitely go back for other works. read more

He also made an adjustment to my frame when I came to pick it up (because I forgot to tell him I wanted flexible pins) at no extra cost and saved me a trip to come back! My frame turned out beautiful. I would definitely recommend getting your frame here, and I would definitely come back here again! read more
