This is the best framing shop in the city! I can't recommend JMC Custom Framing enough! The craftsmanship and attention to detail in their framing are truly next level. They don't just frame art--they enhance it, turning each piece into a masterpiece. The staff is knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what they do, helping us choose the perfect frame to complement our artwork. The quality is outstanding, and the final result exceeded our expectations. If you want your art to shine, this is the place to go. We will definitely going back for future pieces! read more

Awesome frame shop. I brought three pieces here and he did high quality work, with a short turnaround time and a very affordable price. I previously used a frame shop a few blocks north on the same street and there prices and timeline are at least double if not more. This is my frame shop from not on. I highly recommend. read more

YES!!! wide variety of frames and and glass and love the personal attention... I definitely recommend JMC

Respectful, patient, and skilled. Prices are reasonable. Service is terrific. Can't ask for more than that.

Candido at JMC Custom Framing is knowledgeable, generous with his time, suggestions, and prices, and thoroughly pleasant. Among the photos I wanted to be framed was a winter day in Wollman Rink with Christo's saffron ribbons and a backdrop of Central Park South. The work of my late sister, Jessica Burstein, a world-class photographer, looks like a painting. I wanted only someone of Candido's taste and sensibility to frame the photo. Jessica, a perfectionist, would have been pleased. Thank you, Candido read more

I too have been coming here for years. Candido is a true professional. He really knows his stuff. I usually defer to him on how to frame something & it always looks incredible. I've even taken things to get re-framed at JMC b/c Candido is that good. His prices are absolutely reasonable too. (I've been price-gouged on framing in NYC before!) I moved out of the neighborhood but I continue to go to JMC. (I get a lot of stuff framed!) I have a place in Jersey now and I insist on bringing all the artwork to JMC to get framed. Totally worth it! read more

The gentleman who runs this place (Candido, I believe, based on other reviews) is a real professional. I've come here at least four separate times to get various items framed -- a poster some original drawings I purchased, a comic book, a print -- and every time they come back looking absolutely stunning. Sometimes I come in with an idea of what sort of frame I'd like, but Candido is also great about helping to show what will look good for the individual item, drawing out subtle colors within the piece. He's got a good eye, so I recommend heeding his advice (obviously you've got to go with your own gut and taste, but listen to him when he says something clashes! -- he knows his stuff). The service here isn't the cheapest in town, I'm sure, but I only bring items here that I really want to look sharp on my walls -- Amazon frames and mattes don't look anywhere close to this good. JMC's work is an art in itself, and it enhances the pieces that I will be cherishing for a long time to come. I have gone to other framers before and gotten sloppy work back...frames with scuffs or corners askew. You will NOT get that here. Highly recommend JMC and Candido! read more

See all

Went to get a frame fixed. After being swindled by another frame store, this place not only fixed an "unfixable" frame, but also did it so quickly so I could surprise my girlfriend! So thankful!! So well priced!!!! I will only go here from now on! read more

Somehow it seems like you can't throw a rock in midtown without hitting a framing shop, and by sheer convenience I chose this one as my friend lives right next door. Turned out to be a great choice, because Candido was a dear and everything was simple as could be. I just needed a mat, so he showed me the (many) colors available, we discussed measurements, and swish-swish, voila! He also cut the inner borders a fraction larger so I'd be able to center and see all the details of the document I was matting, which was a tiny detail I wouldn't have thought of but showed he's always on top of what he's doing. I also picked up a photo album since they were well-priced, and think this is a great place to go to help make your art/documents look pretty and professional. read more

JMC Custom Framing - One of three frame-option walls - Framing Near Me - New York, New York

I came home from Ecuador with a 4x4 canvas that needed to be stretched. I called numerous places around the city, and they all quoted me ~$300. This little slice of heaven wouldn't take the groupon (I waited to purchase it just in case), BUT they charged me ~$115 w/tax. The owner was awesome, and my five stars will stand if I pick up the painting on Saturday and it's in good shape. DEFINITELY check this place out, it's a bargain with great customer service and turn around time. read more

JMC Custom Framing - Great quality and value when stretching my canvas! - Framing Near Me - New York, New York

Amazing service, great quality, and can't recommend JMC enough!!! I came in on Sunday and got these 6 big posters framed and back in just 3 days for an incredible price! Frames came with hooks, nails, & wall mounting wire, and Candido even took extra time to adjust the wires and wrap everything carefully so the frames wouldn't be damaged. Thank you Candido they look beautiful! read more

JMC Custom Framing - Framing Near Me - New York, New York

$70 to stretch my 40" x 45" canvas painting. It was finished same day, which was cool. Candido runs this place, and was helpful in helping me figure out prices and what I wanted. If you're getting framing done, use his Groupon deal. Only thing was that they wrapped it in very thin paper once it was done, so on my commute back, it very easily got noticeably scratched on the corners, which left me bummed. read more

This place is right around the corner from my house. I needed a couple of things framed and thought I'd check to see if they had any deals. Bingo! A quick google search generated a living social deal. The owner is great, absolute Prince of a man. Together we decided on the perfect combination of frames and matting. Given my ability to prefer the most expensive option, every time without fail, he helped me achieve the best look while selecting some less expensive options. Framing is expensive but I feel like this place aims to please and really tries to help you keep costs down. Order was on time and looked twice as neat as I'd pictured. Pun intended. read more

I have been coming here for years and the work is always supurb. I love that they are willing to help me do crazy projects like a huge custom made for mirror or hanging a Chinese scroll. I highly recommend. read more

This is a great shop I highly recommend. I had 3 prints framed and they included the acid free mounting for free. The work was ready to pickup in 3 days! read more

JMC Custom Framing - My prints I had framed ( from the Little Black Jacket Exhibit) - Framing Near Me - New York, New York

Buyer Beware- When I came to pick up my order, they told me it would be an additional 10% to my order because it was Groupon and that they should have only done it in 10+ business days instead of the time of the order. This is completely unacceptable to hold my framing hostage while they decide to change the price to whatever they feel like and ignore the original invoice amount. read more

Outstanding. I had a large poster that I badly mounted and framed 40 years ago. Candido took a lot of time with me as we selected new matting and frame. Very reasonable cost. I have had several items framed since moving to Manhattan-- JMC was clearly the best , both in work and price. Surprised at the complaint about wrapping as not only was my newly framed poster carefully packaged for the trip home-- but as I decided to keep the old frame and glass, they were well packaged as well. read more

I used a Groupon to try out there services and they were very good. Their prices are reasonable and their work is good. I would definitely go back and I would recommend this framing business to others. read more

I needed a print framed and I saw a living social deal for JMC Custom Framing so I decided to take the plunge. I had an idea of what I wanted, but after speaking to Candido, we refined the order and after going over a few options I decided on an ornate frame, with 2 inch matt, and a fillet between the print and the matt and museum glass. The difference between the regular UV glass and Museum glass was night and day. I had checked out some other places before, and the turn around of most places was around 2 weeks. I dropped my print off at JMC on Thursday Lunch time, and I picked up the completed frame on Saturday! The print looks amazing and I will definitely come back to JMC in the future if I have anything else to frame. read more

Artistry framing. I came in with a vision and JMC framing took it to the next level! I am so happy with my artwork, the guy who helped was able to bring out some really interesting dynamics if the artwork and I really appreciate his skill and eye. read more

Candido did an amazing job. I love my frame and it was very reasonably priced. My frame look beautiful and Candido was super attentive and very nice. Definitely recommend the place! read more

Candido at JMC Custom Framing provides excellent, fast, customer service and quality frames for a very good price. I've been been getting artwork framed at JMC for the past 6 years and recommend him to my friends and anyone who is in need of a picture framer.. read more

Walked in looking for a basic black frame, nothing special, and the guy working framed my 18"x24" piece right on the spot and for an amazing price. Could've been my lucky day, but the frame and work he did was amazing. Highly recommended! read more

JMC Custom Framing is my place to go whenever I need frames. Candido, is the ultimate best at his craft, and shows utmost care in his work and to his customers needs. Kevin read more

Candido (sp.?) is the sweetest, most helpful and reasonably priced framer in Hell's Kitchen. We had a custom, double frame for our plasma above our fireplace put up and he came over to measure every detail (down to the receiver carve out) and I was so relieved when it slipped on perfectly. You wouldn't believe how beautiful it looks. Will be back again and again and again and... read more

Candido was the most gracious, helpful, and kind! I cannot recommend this place enough; speedy service and a kind staff in midtown? Who knew. read more

Candido did a great job framing a poster and a ketubah. Particularly on a ketubah he suggested a way of framing it that I wouldn't have thought of and really makes it look great. There is a standing Groupon deal, so you may as well get that before you are coming in. read more

Buy a Groupon and go see Candido. He's kind and will take all the time you need to get your frame/matting combo right. And he has an excellent eye. This place is expensive though, even with the Groupon. But it's a good shop. 5-star rating if it were cheaper. Still, go! read more

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Worked with us to get the right frames for our fairly unique work. Also kept us within the budget we wanted to spend. Fast. Great quality, just picked up today! 5***** read more

Candido was incredibly helpful as I was picking out my frames. They were ready earlier than we agreed upon and when I went to pick them up, I showed him another item I wanted to hang and he fixed the picture hanging hooks on them free of charge. He is incredibly professional, great at his craft and a very fair businessman. I would recommend JMC highly to anyone who is looking for efficient, well-priced framing. read more

As I enter JMC I was so impressed by the customer service I got from Candido. He took my grandmothers painting (her last painting) and treated it so well. He presented me with the perfect option for the painting. It is now hanging in my living room and it looks perfect. read more

Wonderful framer! Very reasonable, fast and so nice. Highly recommended and I am an artist with lots of experience with framing.

I live in the neighborhood and walked in with no notice to get something framed. The gentleman who helped me could not have been nicer, more knowledgable or more patient. He took an interest in my project, and was incredibly helpful and collaborative. If I have any future projects that need framing this is where I'm heading, and bringing my friends. read more

Excellent service, superb selection, perfect workmanship and great prices. That says it all but I still have to add that Candido spent more than two hours with me as I kept changing my mind to buy 5 frames. He kept bringing me new frames after I rejected them, patiently listening to my exact requirements although I myself didnt know clearly what I was looking for. Nothing looked right for my prints - this one was too dull, that one didnt have enough gold, that one was too narrow and this one the design wasn't nice. And he was listening! Because once he understood he came up with the perfect solution by combining two frames and that was it! It looked perfect and when I went to pick them up today as soon as I saw them I was thrilled beyond expectation! So stunning do they look that I salute Candido! Just for his superb work and selection, I am now buying new prints just to get the frames which will beautify my apartment. Oh yes, the Groupon helped significantly with the cost but now I'm going back for the great work and service. read more
