Friendly service and great work ethic. They take their framing serious and assist costumers get the end result they want at a decent price. I would recommend for "real art" not a poster for a kids wall! lol. Expect the turn around time to reflect the complexity and other work flow in the store. Their team seems very supportive and engaging. read more

I have worked with Chesapeake Framing for over 10 years. I am an art collector and former art gallery owner - their work is excellent.

Always great to go to Chesapeake Framing. They are friendly, helpful and professional. We appreciated their advice for how to best reframe our 100-year-old print. Pricing is very reasonable, and the print looks great on our wall. Cathy G. read more

I've been a client of Chesapeake Framing for close to 40 years. Mary Jo and her staff are fabulous at what they do - I always let them decide what looks best on anything I bring in.

They do a beautiful job and have great ideas for framing. Now I wants me to say more things but I have no more.

Chesapeake Framing must take a bow. The many uneven needlepoint pieces I brought in for blocking and framing were handled perfectly--no small feat. All were destined as gifts for family, and Mary Jo and her staff brought extraordinary expertise (and patience) to the process. They ensured that every hour of stitching was matched by the beautiful craftsmanship that was put into the finished pieces. read more

Always great advice, followed by exact professional framing. Never disappointing. Many compliments on the framings. read more

Once again I had a wonderful experience with Chesapeake Framing. They were so kind, complimentary and helpful! Made my day. Thanks to their expert guidance, the outcome (right on time) was 10 pieces of needlepoint-- elevated from "crafts" to (dare I say it?) "heirlooms!" So appreciative! read more

Chesapeake Framing is a wonderful place to get a piece of art framed. The staff are experienced with a great eye for color, stule, and design. They always have helpful suggestions and never try to "upsell" you on more expensive options. I love their work and have had them frame many things for me. They also showcase local artists if you are looking for something else for your home or office. read more

Chesapeake Framing helped me create a shadow box with disparate elements (stamp block, medals, caption) that also had an unusual color palette. The finished product was perfect - the framing really pulled everything together with a unified composition read more

We go straight to Chesapeake Framing Co. for all our framing projects. They have great vision and advice, and always do magnificent work. Our last two projects were extremely large, original foreign movie posters for our basement, the second of which was too big to fit down the stairs. So Chesapeake obtained all the materials, and then did the assembly, framing, and installation on site in the basement! Extraordinary customer service. read more

I'm an artist and they take great care to support artists from all angles, from the care they take with the work to understanding our budget constrictions.

If you're looking for quality service at a fair price, go someplace else. I brought an expensive Spanish photo to be framed, and I even brought my own carved frame, so all I needed was a matte, a fillet, and a piece of glass. THEIR PRICETAG: $593.00. I can't believe I agreed to that, but when I saw the way it was framed, I was shocked. The photo was set way too high in the frame, nothing like what an experienced framer would place. When I explained that this was not what I asked for, they offered to fix it FOR $150.00 MORE. Nope, not again. Seriously, go somewhere else or you'll probably regret it. read more

Chesapeake Framing took such great care of me! I brought in my wedding invitation which had been framed over 30 years ago. It was time to redo the design due to wear and tear from several moves. I received excellent consultation from Chesapeake's team about what would work in the new frame. The artist gave me plenty of time to make up my mind about the plans and terrific feedback all along the way. I am thrilled with the result and can't wait to bring Chesapeake more work! read more

After our previous framer closed his business we asked for a recommendation from a woodworking supply store. Their recommendation was Chesapeake Framing and we have been delighted with everything they have framed for us. They are wonderful at giving you creative inspiration for backgrounds and frame colors to set off whatever it is you are framing. Here's a photo of our latest challenge. We are big fans of the DIY show Maine Cabinmasters and ordered one of their signed saw blades to hang on a gray wall. Mary Jo nailed it by suggesting a faux wood grain background with a distressed yellow frame and raising the blade up from the background. read more
