Friendly service that is always quick. They can cut frames under 4 inches which a lot of places refuse to do. read more

Was searching for local framing shop and found this one with most liked reviews. Place was very clean, many options for framing and service was fantastic! Just needed custom mat framing for a gift I was working on and it turned out amazing. Will definitely be back! read more

Spencer is great at what he does. I brought in 3 photos we bought at an art fest and a picture of the room were they would go. I told him I didn't have a clue what I wanted. Within minutes he had a few choices set out in front of me. I left knowing I was in good hands. Price- it's not inexpensive but better than the chain boxes. Turn around time- he said about a week and a half - I got them in about 9days! Quality- awesome!!! Unless you hang a lot of pictures (I do as a side hustle) you may not appreciate this. The cordage was exactly the same spacing on all 3 pictures!!! Makes measuring and hanging so nice!! He also places the little rubber (soft plastic) on the bottom so that the items all hang beautifully. I'll definitely be back read more

Excellent job! They really helped us pick out the best look for our vintage movies posters and were very professional.

If you want your picture, photo or project to shine, be sure to go to Four Star Framing for all your Framing needs. Spencer has so much experience in creating the perfect finish for your project. I just walk in and let him do his thing. My pictures always look so much better once Spencer has performed his magic. Thank you Spencer for all your expert service. read more

I did an unsuccessful DIY wiring job on the back of my mirror. I have Four Star a call and he said he'd fix it while I waited. as promised, I came by later and he took care of it on the spot at a very reasonable cost. I'm definitely going back for any future framing projects for his promptness and not ripping me off. For what it's worth, he has some really cool sports memorabilia and framing around the store, like Ted Lasso stuff too. read more

Even though we live in the city, we drove out to Four Star Framing because I grew up in the area and 4 Star Framing had received such stellar reviews. I'm so glad we did because Spencer did an AMAZING job stretching and framing our big (56" x 24") Romero Britto limited edition giclee on canvas. Price was great and timing was faster than I expected - I couldn't be happier with the framing job. read more

I brought in an old frame that had come apart. Even though the style of framing was a little weird, Spencer was able to quickly and inexpensively repair it like new. I highly recommend Four Star Framing for the quality of their work, their pricing and their fast and efficient service! read more

Took a very heavy mirror to change from vertical to horizontal perspective. No only did they change the perspective, but they gave excellent advice on how best to mount the mirror to the wall. read more

Spencer framed Cubs memorabilia from 2016 for my son. He did a great job then, and he did a great job helping me select frames for 3 pieces of artwork. Won't go anywhere else! Fair prices as well. Can't wait to pick up my pieces! read more

Awesome job. Great service. He made my piece beautiful. I would highly recommend this business to everyone.

First off, Spencer, does phenomenal work. I went to him for the first time a few weeks back, and I was blown away by the quality, selection, service, and speed. My question after my experience was why would anyone ever go to a place like Hobby Lobby ever again? Anyway, easily the best framing experiences I have ever had, and I've been all over the Chicagoland area. I added the Tesla picture for reference. read more

If you're reading these reviews, you'll notice one consistency - Spencer is awesome to work with. Like others, I am a repeat (four times now) customer - even after I've moved from DG into the city! Whether it's a family heirloom, original artwork or a fave concert poster, Spencer does impeccable, prompt and professional work. Don't bother looking anywhere else. This is the place to go. read more

Spencer did an amazing job framing a 6th grade gift that is now hanging proudly on display at Nerge Elementry School. The framing is sleek and looks great displaying all the tiled artwork that the students left as their legacy gift. Thank you, Spencer for working with the Nerge PTA and 6th grade committee on making this legacy gift absolutely beautiful and preserving it for years to come!!! read more

Now that I've found Four Star Framing I'll never use another framer again. My company creates large multi photo frames regularly. It used to be a chore to explain the project to other framers, they were always expensive and the finished frames were never consistent. I was hopeful when Spencer quoted the job at 1/2 the price we'd been paying, then when I saw the finished product I was overjoyed with the results. Spencer's natural knack for art comes through in his framing, he does a beautiful job. I highly recommend Four Star Framing! read more

He is an absolute artist. I would never use any other framer and his pricing is very fair for the quality work he does.

Extremely professional....had amazing suggestions...all around great experience and worth every penny! The man knows his stuff! Will be bringing more items his way for sure. SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES!!!! read more

Spencer was great! It was my first time purchasing a special piece of art and I was very nervous about getting it framed. Spencer is an artist himself and right away was able to give me great suggestions on a frame. I still couldn't decide As there was more to think about than I had anticipated. He encouraged me to take my time. After a week I went back with a picture of where I planned to hang the print. He looked at the room with an artist's eye and made a wonderful suggestion along with tips on how to hang it properly. It was the busy season but he managed to get it back in time for a holiday party at our house. I will definitely go back! read more

Spencer is great. If you have ideas, he'll make the best of them. If you are light on ideas he'll make the very best of it. I'd feel comfortable sliding my most treasured art under his door and letting him do what he does. Great pricing too. read more

I am so pleased with the work I had done here. Without being pushy Spencer guided me to the right mat and frame for my artwork. It's not cheap, but if you want your work done right this is the place to go. read more

Four Star Framing already had some great reviews, so that's why I took my family heirloom landscape painting to Spencer for a new frame. It was not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. My Dad's commissioned 52 year old oil painting of Bariloche Argentina is back on the living room wall, where it belongs. Even my wife loves it now. Spencer does great work. read more

We went into Four Star Framing for an idea on how to collect and create a piece of some items from our wedding. The presentation that they created for us was fantastic. We now have a fantastic shadow box with the menu, invitation, table favors, and other items combines into an attractive frame. It's hanging in our bedroom now. We honestly didn't think we could afford something of this quality and size based on the quotes from some other stores in the area. I couldn't believe we were the first to review them! Then I took a look and saw it's the usual Yelp BS where for some reason the reviews are all being hidden. Log in and take a look at the filtered reviews and see what I mean, ALL 5 STARS! I don't know what their all knowing algorithim used to determine to hide them but it's done the same thing to me before as well. Anyway enough off topic ranting, definitely bring in whatever you need framed. Personally I'm all set for any gift for my father in law for the next ten years now that I know where I can get sports memoribilia framed for great prices. UPDATE: Of course, my review is being filtered as well, whatever. I don't know why I bother with this site. read more

Four Star Framing is the best! The owner, Spencer framed a gift for my nephew. The frame was top notch quality. The matte and frame look great! Very professional. The price he quoted me was the lowest around and he even called me a day early to come pick up the frame. I will definitely come back to Four Star Framing for all of my custom framing needs. read more

So very happy I brought my prints here to be framed! They turned out better than I could have imagined. Spencer has a great eye and does amazing work. While framing is by no means cheap, I feel the prices were on par with competitors and that the finished product was worth every penny. I will definitely be using their services in the future. read more

I received extremely great service here by Spencer. From design to execution, i couldn't have had a better experience. I was shown frames & matte options with different price points. Turn around was excellent as well. I will definitely use 4 Star again. read more

So, one of my favorite hobbies over the years is to collect, frame, and display prints. I've had lots of experiences with many framing stores - some big, some small, in a few different parts of the country. I can easily say that Spencer's Four Star is good as it gets in the business. Not only are his work quality and materials absolutely top notch, his prices are very competitive - he will work within your budget and won't try to sell you something you don't need or want. He will always be 100% upfront and honest with you regarding your options and project requirements. In my less-experienced days, I would admittedly-lazily take my prints to a Michael's or Hobby Lobby. In order to understand the gravity of why I think Four Star is great, you should take a visit to one of these establishments for the purposes of comparison. More often than not, you'll find that the person framing your irreplaceable, unique art or memorabilia is someone who was trained on framing techniques and tools for a few days while handling other unrelated responsibilities. The quality that you'll find from these places is incredibly hit-or-miss, depending on who's on shift at that particular moment. More often than not, you'd get your art back with something like a bent corner, accidentally using permanent materials (like the dreaded sticky board), or dust and debris lodged behind the glass. No thanks. Additionally, the prices they charge are absolutely sky-high. Contrast that with Spencer's operation - here's the one and only guy who will be taking care of your project, who has perfected his craft not only from a mechanical/technical aspect, but from an aesthetic one, as well. He'll tell you very plainly what will look good and what won't, and he has many impressive examples on the walls of the store to support his credibility. In the twenty or thirty pieces he's done for me over the past two years, they have all turned out perfectly. This is not an exaggeration. It's also worth mentioning that doing business with Four Star has the additional benefit of supporting a local business that's deeply involved with the community. TL;DR - With Spencer and Four Star, you get an extremely high level of quality workmanship and honest customer service for a reasonable price. read more

I've had about 10 pieces of artwork framed at Four Star Framing. Spencer always does a magnificent job. He's very good at helping to narrow down the options and the finished product is always top-notch. I've used a lot of frame shops over the years and Four Star is by far the best I've come across. read more

I had two college diplomas framed by the owner, Spencer, when he worked at a previous framing shop in the area. Spencer did a great job in helping to select the matting and frames for each. I also ordered and received the diplomas during the same week. The finished framed diplomas looked great! I'm excited to see that Spencer is starting his own venture and will continue to use him for all of my future framing needs! read more

I had never had professional framing done, so I didn't know what to expect -- but I had a couple of things that needed something better than you would get at Target :) I used the reviews on Yelp to help me locate this place and I have to say, it was everything I hoped it would be. Not only did they give me some excellent suggestions for my items, they were very patient and friendly while i tried to make up my mind (I didn't know there would be so many choices!). The projects were completed very timely and they look fantastic .. I couldn't be more pleased. I will definitely be back! read more

Great helpful people, they will be honest with you, will even go the extra mile with out a bunch of add on charges, fair pricing, awesome customer service, Spencer was very helpful, my son's picture is back to life with their help read more
