Part 1 is done and awaiting my wife's needlework update. So far I've been impressed. The gentleman who waited on me was very pleasant and worked with me to make sure the piece was deconstructed in a way that will facilitate accomplishing its reconstruction when we return. Bonus point: I asked what I owed him and he said "bring it back so we can finish it." My kind of business - trust right up front. Can't wait to see the final product!

I had a painting that needed framing recently - something with incredible sentimental value to me…read more I'd driven past Fleckenstein a million times (I live in the neighborhood) but had never been in. But I loved the idea of taking the painting somewhere in the neighborhood to be framed. When I walked in, I knew I'd made the right decision. The customer service was incredible - they really walked us through options, pricing, and other details. They explained it might take them a while to get to the project and offered to let us keep the painting at home for a while until they could work on the frame. We ended up going with something modern, minimalist, and simple, because the painting is busy enough on its own, but they have a really incredible selection of frames to choose from. From modern to traditional, simple to ornate - they have it all. While we made arrangements for the framing (measuring, quote, etc.), I wandered around the shop, which is also a gallery. It has some really incredible art. It's worth stopping into as a gallery as much as a framing store, especially if you have some bare walls at home. They called when our piece was ready, and I couldn't wait to pick it up. Just as promised - it's perfect. I thought the price was extremely fair and reasonable (honestly, I think I'd have paid even more at that chain big box store - you know the one). When I have things to frame in the future, I won't hesitate to take it to Fleckenstein. A great local business.

The one time I resisted their advice, they were kind enough to make a new mat at a reduced rate. I must admit that I have sometimes been enticed into frames that are surprisingly pricey. But they have been very agreeable about providing relative cost estimates of two or three frames when I have asked before making a decision. Even when the framing cost more than the artwork, the resulting effect has been worth more than the sum of its parts!

I cannot begin to describe how happy I am with their work! I had gone to them before for a jersey to be framed, which they did a phenomenal job on, but this past holiday season, I had cause to take several pieces at once. Ed took the time to go over my framing options, from the frame itself, to the matting, to the glass. He worked with me until we found something that was exactly what I was looking for. He was not afraid to give me his opinion, either, which I very much appreciated and agreed with. He was able to push out two of the pieces in time for the holidays, despite my late start (about two weeks out, probably less). He also transformed two art poster prints into new works of art themselves. We had received a poster print of 'Nighthawks' and the 'Tournée le Chat Noir' over the past two holidays from my parents, but neither really fit into a standard size frame. Ed and I found very agreeable frames that perfectly matched, accentuated, and enhanced each one into something higher than it was. I couldn't be more elated by how everything turned out. They are very professional, reasonable in cost, and highly trustworthy with the materials. You can bet that I will be taking future framing projects here, along with sending all of my friends and family there, too. Thank you so much for your outstanding craftsmanship, and I look forward to working with you more in the future!
