They get 5 stars in all areas. They give you personal attention to help you make the best selection of both frame and matting. I had a major time constraint and they accommodated my needs and gave me great quality at a good price. I highly recommend this business. read more

Waseem is an absolute framing expert! I came in with 3 separate items for my nephew's graduation & his patience at understanding what I wanted was nothing less than perfection. Waseem patiently listened & gave me great suggestions. Not even one week later I had the fabulous frame & better still, my nephew was ecstatic on receiving it. I can't give this man enough praise, he truly knows what he is doing. And for those just wandering in the area, pop in & have a look, he has some great unique items. I shall def be going back for more! read more

One Hour Framing - Framing Near Me - New York, New York

This is a truly amazing frame shop. Wassam has an eye for enhancing whatever you are framing. A recent gift framed by Wassam brought tears to my friend's eyes caused by how the frame and matting enhanced the picture she loved. Have gone to this shop over many years at a number of locations and am always thrilled with the results. Barbara O. read more

He framed several pieces for me. He helped me choose elegant wood framing and appropriate mat. I was not in a rush, so he completed the work in several days. The work was excellent. Also he kept my information on file for when I brought more items for framing. read more

Congratulations Mr Waseem on your new location. 39 W 38 St. Been using this shop for 30 years. Would go nowhere else Great work. Fair prices. Totally reliable read more

I have to drop in here to mention a few things about One Hour Framing: 1) The owner Waseem is what you want from a customer experience perspective. He is knowledgable, honest, skilled and consistent. 2) Any jerk giving bad ratings here because they didn't get their custom job framed within "one hour" needs to get a grip and understand you can't rush greatness. First off, they turn things around very quickly. I've had several jobs with double mattings and a custom frame/glass cut and picked it up sometimes in 1 day. Even when the crew was slammed with jobs. 3) The work is fantastic. I literally have everything in my apartment framed from here, and its thanks to their great work, I look forward to visiting him next week to get some additional jobs done to give my boyfriend for Christmas during COVID! 4) We need businesses like this more than ever. GO. NOW. Keep NYC alive people. read more

See all

Waseem works quickly, has patience for unusual requests, charges reasonable prices (almost impossible to find in Manhattan) and most importantly has a great eye. On a return visit after more than a year, he instantly remembered my name. And he has a dry sense of humor that I very much enjoy. I strongly recommend One-Hour Framing!!! read more

In either 2019 or 2020, I went to this shop to get a record vinyl framed. This record vinyl was autographed by the late rapper Juice WRLD who passed away in 2019. Everything was good until now 3+ years later I decided I wanted to take it out the frame and listen to it, but I couldn't. These guys GLUED the record vinyl onto the board they used and I cannot remove it without severely damaging the record. This is something that had extreme sentimental value to me and a money value of over $1000. No longer can I have any access to it since its stuck inside the frame forever. Also to top it all off, the record looks dirty since you can see the glue through it. Always thought it was a smudge on the frame until realizing its just the glue seeping through. Wish I would've realized all this sooner, or that they told me beforehand they were going to glue it. read more

One Hour Framing is the BEST ! I have been using them for over 10 years. Waseem does exquisite work. I have had two major framing jobs done all ready this Dec. and you will not find better prices anywhere else in the city. Look no further than One Hour Framing. -Richard Ridge read more

They are super professional and very efficient. I dropped three pictures off to get framed and the price was very reasonable. They were ready less than 24 hours later. I will definitely be returning. read more

These guys are awesome and run their business old school. Really appreciate the honest advice and quality work from a small business like this. There is so much care down to the wrapping for transport and help getting me into my Uber with some big frames. 10/10. read more

I needed a large poster framed over the weekend for an event and Wassell got the job done quickly and flawlessly. Highly recommend!

I don't often leave reviews but I have to say, one hour framing is the best. I came here to get my certificates framed for my office and was always given a reasonable price w quick turnaround. So I came back and got some art framed too, for my apt. Everything looks amazing and I recommend coming here to everyone I know that needs things framed. read more

Had a great experience here - the framing job was done perfectly, on time, and for a fair price. Highly recommended!

Phenomenal. Waseem is the BEST. Reliable , nice and does an unbelievable job. I have had many things done here and he is a visionary. Highly recommend !!!! read more

Fantastic work, and done professionally and quickly, so that I could participate in a Studio Tour. Thank you, and I will be back.

The absolute best frame store to be found! Fast, reliable, professional and everything you need for the best work on your framing needs. Everyone there is so nice and caring. They have been in business so long because of their wonderful work! I highly recommend them. read more

As a corporate client, I used One Hour for many years. Waseem extended his wonderful service to me as a walk-in too. His recommendations were spot on and the finished piece is absolutely beautiful. Very much appreciated! read more

Waseem at One Hour Framing always takes care of my framing needs quickly, with fair pricing for professional framing. I have been using them for at least 5 years and they are consistently amazing. Most recently, I had them print my original photography and place into a large frame. Waseem was able to consult and recommend the ideal print and mat sizes to fit into a frame for a particular sized space where I wanted to hang it in my home. It came out perfectly and their printing is high quality. Waseem is also caring and ensures that he helps me get my frames safely into transportation, even standing in the rain holding my frames waiting for my Uber to arrive. Excellent, personalized service is rare these days and I'm glad to consistently find it at One Hour Framing! read more

The owner of 37 years answered my questions during a couple of phone calls before I came in. Then he was friendly & patient & got my work done within the hour perfectly. A Surprise-a laser ink jet print of a great original painting a beloved lady adores. He was jolly & lighthearted at the end of the work week near closing time on Friday, without compromising professionalism. Also after checking around I found his prices were quite competitive with the best ones you will be able to find-& somewhat cheaper than most. Heartening for a shop in the center of Midtown Manhattan! There is also a very large assortment of wooden frames, styles, & all colors, though I chose a simple black metal one that I am sure he is correct is a better, dramatic contrast with the softer, more pastel colors of this ballet-related painting. He has I believe 5 efficient & serious employees, but it is a real long term small business in the heart of corporate monopolyville (sic)! Definitely go to get your work done there.

For years I've been coming here for framing and it's about time I posted a review. Waseem has framed everything I've bought for my apartment. The process always goes the same way: I show him the art. He quickly pulls out mat colors and frames. I tell him those are not what I had in mind. I obsess for a while as he waits patiently. I end up using what he recommended in the first place. And the final piece comes out looking beautiful. This is the kind of shop that is scarcer every day in the city, let alone in midtown: a long-standing small business run by an individual entrepreneur. Duane Reade and Lord & Taylor are gone from the neighborhood, but One Hour Framing prevails. Well deserved! Thank you! read more

VERY PLEASED WITH QUALITY AND PRICE. I had two 8.5x11 prints and a frame I bought online, that I needed matted and dry mounted. This is a gift for my wife on our wedding anniversary. Lee's Art shop was going to charge me $75, Art & Frame of NY would charge $48. Waseem charged $35 with a a 24-hour turnaround. Wife loves the framed prints. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

I came here recently on the suggestion of a colleague and was pleasantly surprised. When I arrived I was a bit resistant to leaving my photography framing project in Waseem's hands but he definitely came through for me. I was having two 8x10's framed in one frame and it came to a bit over 140 and some change. He was able to get it back to me in two days which was much faster than another store had quoted me and even at a higher price! I'm not sure about the 'one hour' portion of their name, but for 60 dollars cheaper and 2 weeks faster - I am a fan! read more

I really enjoyed my experience with One Hour Framing. The owner greeted me with a smile and within minutes, I could tell he was very talented. I trusted him and am happy I did - the framing was perfect! Thanks One Hour Framing for a great job! read more

While I'm overall happy with the results, I'm not sure if I will come back here for my framing needs. I've had two projects done here at two separate occasions. The first one was a smaller 6" by 10" lithograph to be done with a slim black frame with no mat (I supplied paper for the background). The price came out to be $28 which I THINK is better than average? The finished product was overall good but there was slight crack in the frames joining at one corner. Hardly anything to fuss over but not perfect work. The second time, I came with a print that I wanted to really do something special with and the owner walked through several options of mat//frame combinations with me until we decided on a green mat/brown frame. As he was writing up the receipt ($85), I pointed out a different color scheme he picked out and said - no, I want this one instead. The owner confirmed verbally, orange mat/bronze frame? And we were set. The turnaround took 4 business days (Thought it was called 1 hour framiing? D'oh) and when I came to pick it up, anticipating the orange mat/bronze frame lo and behold he had done with the green mat/brown frame. I was a little taken aback but didn't say anything because it did look nice. However, ever time I look at it I wonder how it would have been had he gone with what I asked for. ' read more

Very helpful and they really know what they are doing Reasonable price and good quality My job was done next day on time Waseem was very knowledgable and a good assistant read more

I needed to have a poster framed for my husband last minute for the holidays. Not only was everyone super friendly and accommodating, the work was done quickly and to my specifications. With the crazy rush during the holiday season, this is a serious feat! Would definitely go back here. Completely reasonable pricing too, even with the rush. read more

I just had one of my favorite prints framed by One Hour Framing. They were so easy to work with. I love how it turned out. The frame is perfect and the print looks better than ever. It completes my room! read more

Highly recommend their service. We had just moved to the area and one of our large photo pieces glass had broke. One Hour Framing came right over to our apartment and picked up the piece. Within a day they had it reframed / new glass and dropped it right back off. Seamless service, kinda employees, speedy work and good prices! Highly recommend and will use again. LOVE THAT THEY DELIVER and PICKUP read more

Creative, friendly, cooperative, affordable, reliable -- everything you want from a frame shop. Waseem is my go-to guy for framing photos, art, diplomas. They make the best gifts! read more

Around the holidays I took a photo of my fiance and I to get framed. I started at a frame store near Union Square, but their turnaround time was a couple of weeks and there was no way it would get done on time. One Hour Framing managed to get the job done in less than a week and was quite affordable as well. I recently also took an engagement photo here to be matted for our guest book and plan on returning to get it framed after the wedding. read more

Very respectful and humble people, I got an excellent service. The pieces came out very nice and I'm glad I discovered this place for all my future framings. read more

Came by this place this morning to get my diploma professionally framed. I received a call a few hrs later and was informed that my diploma is ready for pick-up. Very efficient service. Thank you and will be back soon. read more

I had an article appear in a newspaper and wanted it framed, but did not know the best way to do it. The owner said "leave it to me," and I'm glad I did. It was a work of art. Hanging proudly on my office wall. Can't recommend highly enough. read more

Come here when you want professional service and excellent suggestions on how best to frame your piece. Waseem provides options for frames and mats for you to choose from and explains how and why they work with your artwork, poster, etc. He has an excellent eye and makes suggestions for enhancing whatever it is you want to frame. This store is competitively priced, always on time, and I have never been disappointed with the final results. I often start with no idea of what I want and the end product is always stunning! read more

I work for a company that uses One Hour Framing on an account. They do not send us invoices in a timely fashion and when we call them for invoices, they are very rude to us. One of our employees had been told "F**K YOU!" by Waseem on several occasions. STAY AWAY FROM THIS VENDOR. We are no longer using them as a vendor. And we urge anyone else who hasn't used them to stay away, or else, use at YOUR OWN RISK! read more

I found Waseem to be a RUDE disgusting individual. No manners or professionalism whatsoever. Besides that the framing job took over two weeks to complete. I had to call him several times and at no point was a quote ever provided, prior to the work being started. It was delivered along with an invoice of over $1,000.00. I contacted Waseem to ask for why there was a delivery charge of $25.00 and why I was being charged such high fees, and his response was "this is the price in the world" I highly doubt that. Then he proceeded to ask me irrelevant questions and rudely hung up on me. Don't waste your time unless you wanna be a victim of PRICE GOUGING. They charge as per your occupation. RIPOFF! read more

Where I used to work would get all of their art framed by Waseem here at One Hour Framing, so when I needed to get 3 posters framed for my boyfriend's birthday, I immediately headed over to Waseem to see what kind of deal I could snag. He framed my stuff for $90 ($30 for each poster) and did it in about an hour and a 1/2 which I consider pretty great considering I dropped my stuff off after 4pm! Not sure if he gave me any sort of "deal", but you can't get stuff framed in custom frames with that quick of a turn-around anywhere else to my knowledge! read more

Really, really bad customer service. Though the work was decent, it was so unpleasant speaking with them that I would certainly have gone somewhere else. Furthermore, I was told to give them six days to do a very simple photo framing job and that they would call me as soon as it was ready on said date. I was specifically told not to come until they called. Five days after the due date, I called to check in and was rudely told "it's ready when it says it will be ready on the receipt". Why didn't I get a call? "Maybe because your voicemail was full". Um, no. I'm not that popular. That doesn't happen. For the money and time and headache, there are better places to take your business. read more

Ordered a poster for a birthday present. I called about 5 other framing places around the city and they all said it would take more than a week and the cost was very high. One hour framing said it would be ready in a day and the cost was more than reasonable. The framing came out perfect and I was very satisfied. Guy told me they have been open for 35 years! Honest business like this it's not a surprise. Highly recommend. read more
