I brought three artworks in to be fixed. It took more than four weeks and it cost almost $300…read more One of the artworks had the wire on the back incorrectly installed and after five days of hanging on the wall, the frame fell down and was irreparably damaged. I sent an email to The Picture Store with images of what had happened and asked for a refund for the one artwork that was done incorrectly. I left a message a week later and now, after almost two weeks, I still have not heard back. Go someplace where the customers are treated respectfully after the work is finished.

Our project was not a major renovation, but we were never treated like the job was "too small." We had some flooring re-done in our basement, some custom shelving and a closet installed, and some minor touch up repairs done on the exterior of our house. From the day Eric was scheduled to come out for the estimate, we knew these guys were different. Not only did Eric show up on time for the estimate (when does THAT happen?), but he called about 5 minutes beforehand concerned that he might be late. We felt that after the meeting, the quote and pricing he offered were fair and put down a deposit. We never felt pressured to proceed, and we were provided all information we requested: evidence of proper licensing, insurance, a fully complete legal contract, etc. When the job began, the workers were as punctual as Eric was on day one, and were courteous. We also found the crew to be careful and detailed to do the job right. We never felt uncomfortable with them working in our home, and they were flexible on timing and agreed to some minor tweaks and changes to the project as the need arose. Thanks for doing a nice job!

The project included a three-story addition and a full gut renovation, with all major systems updated. Marcel and his team did a fantastic job modernizing the home while preserving its historic character and original charm.

The quality of the work and attention to detail were outstanding, and incredibly, the entire project was completed about one month ahead of schedule (unheard of in today's home renovation industry- we have friends that started before our project and are still far from completion!).

Have loved coming here for all my framing - the new owner is so sweet and really knows her stuff. I'd say even more than the last. My frames have always been meticulously aligned - not like anything cheap you can buy at CVS. When I spend the time and money to get my pieces professionally framed - I really feel like I'm getting more than my money's worth - sometimes when I've been in a crunch, she's cut mats for me for free! read more

Over 30 years have gone by, and - after taking a project to them for the first time - I can easily see why they are still in business. I contacted them re. drymounting several large posters I had in basic frames purchased at Target. In the midst of several very hot and humid days over the summer, the posters began to buckle/ripple under the plexiglass. I called around to several framers re. drymounting, and the folks at Stanhope were the most responsive and intuitive to my needs. I brought all the posters in - still in the frames - and a week later they were ready, and perfect. It was obvious that much care was put into this project, and I'm completely happy with the end result. They actually exceeded my expectations.

This is a diamond in the rough…read more While the place looks like an old art studio filled with parts of frames, matte and glass scattered throughout, the work being done there is truly marvelous. The place was referred to me by a friend who has used Barry (the owner) as his framer for years. As for my experience, from the moment I walked in, the place looked exactly what you'd imagine an artisanal framer in a forgotten Parisian impasse would work in. Every option was presented to me with every variation of frame size, shape, color including matte variations and spacing. We eventually agreed on a shadow box with the perfect background color to allow my print to look its best. Then came the price. I must state that I have many prints and all have been professionally framed in both the U.S. and France. The price I was quoted was by far the cheapest price I have ever gotten for a shadow box (by at least 50%). After waiting a week for the framing to be done, I was simply blown away by the quality of the work that was done. I simply cannot recommend this place enough for the experience, customer service, quality and price.

I recently stopped by Lansdowne Frame on a recommendation to get an 11x14 photograph professionally matted and framed for an upcoming student exhibition. I wasn't really sure what the process of doing this would be like, nor did I know exactly what I wanted. Luckily for me, Barry, the owner and operator of the small store, was there to guide me through it. He was super understanding and patient, and he gave me tons of options to look through. It didn't feel like he was trying to sell me on anything or rush me. Instead, it felt like he genuinely wanted to give me the best deal possible for the best quality goods. He assembled everything right before my eyes, and made sure I was happy with the end product. My photograph is now beautifully framed and ready for the exhibition. I couldn't be happier with my experiences at Lansdowne Frame (if you couldn't already tell). I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs some frame work done.
