Having previously used major retail outlets for framing, I wanted to give a local business a shot. Based on previous Yelp reviews and geographic convenience, I landed on Fairmount Framing. My experience was fairly brief but satisfying (that's what she said). My husband and I were serviced within 20 minutes. This included consultation on framing and type of glass. The owner has a keen eye for what looks good. We had our own ideas in mind, but he made a few suggestions to enhance the matting colors and frame selection. We weren't the only customers in the store, but he was able to work with each group simultaneously, but not disruptively for either group. Not being in a rush, the estimated ready date of under three weeks from drop off sounded perfect. The frames was ready as scheduled. As others noted, the prices were market standard. Ultimately, my posters came out beautifully framed and I was able to support a local business. Picture perfect. read more

Reliable, kind, transparent, and reasonably priced. Great shop run by good people. Highly recommended.

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience at Fairmont Framing. Yes, custom framing isn't cheap. Never. However, I felt that prices here were very reasonable, and there was no pressure to spend more. I asked the owner's opinion on which glass looked better with my print, and he said the cheaper version, and I agreed with him. I am super happy with the final project. I would return, and I have already recommended the place to friends. read more

Small, easy-to-find store. Very friendly and professional. I brought in a wood-framed mirror that I needed to wire to hang horizontally, and she got right to work. I expected to pay $5-$10 and would have been happy to leave it overnight. But it only took a minute and she didn't charge me at all. read more

We have been using Fairmount Framing for over a decade. We keep going back because the craftsmanship and service is excellent. Also Jeff and his staff and family have contributed to the enhancement of the business community in Fairmount since the shop opened for business. Thank you and I'll be stopping by later today to have my nieces wedding gift framed and packed for shipping across country. read more

I didn't think the framing was all that expensive, but I've been having stuff framed for years, so . . . . I love the work they do here. I've been to other places--many of them over the years, in fact--and I don't think any of those places have done the kind of work Fairmount Framing does. Beautiful, professional--and relatively inexpensive considering what framing costs. read more

I just stopped in here today to ask if there was any way to put some kind of "hanging hardware" on the back of an old piano keyboard, so I could hang it on the wall. The man who was working that day was friendly and welcoming, PLUS he gave me a super quick solution and had me out in less than 5 minutes! I was totally impressed with the service and solution. We'll definitely be going back for anything we need framed in the future! We'll also make sure to recommend Fairmount Framing to our friends/co-workers! Thanks, Fairmount Framing! YAY for small businesses!!!! read more

I'm probably somewhere between Dave J. and GT L. on this one - though Fairmount isn't crazy expensive for framing, it is worth it to get a few options before you get rung up and try a bunch of different frames before committing - the one they pick out for you could run up the bill - but they have enough selection (and high-quality selection at that) that you can get things framed at a square price. The turn-around time is usually pretty quick, and the sales staff is helpful picking things out. read more

Simply the best. Courteous, reliable, professional.

I brought in a picture that needed the mat trimmed to accommodate my print. I needed it that day and they were able to help me. They did a beautiful job and were very reasonably priced. I even looked around the house for other pictures that needed attention. Highly recommend this local business. read more

Wonderful framing shop! Have the best glasses, mats, and obviously frames!

Have had a few things framed here over the years. A large print as well as a piece of a quilt. Work was excellent and very professional.

I needed three framing projects done ASAP. The service was quick, extraordinarily accurate, and with reasonable pricing. I was very happy!

I've had many things framed here and I have been very happy with all the work that was done. One of my objects was at least 3 feet by 5 feet to frame. The owner helped me pick out just the right matting and framing to get the effect i was looking for. I brought back three very delicate, old fashion/clothing sketches from France and he framed them perfectly for me. I've gotten so many compliments on them, framing made all the difference! read more
