I arranged to have a 34" tall by 24" wide shadow box made to display a collector's Balinese shadow puppet. They offered me beautifully sculpted and trimmed framing material far above and beyond what I had hoped to find. The shadow box was lined with cream color, textured mat board. A museum quality, non-glare glass was used. The final result is stunning -- a museum quality display that will protect the contents for years to come. I highly recommend these talented owners for the skill and attention to detail they provide.

They offer restoration services and have ability to preserve heirlooms and important documents. The focus on outstanding customer service is delivered. The shop has been a stop on MMOCA's Gallery Night, so they support artists and purchasers of local art in a special way. I found this place by coming to Yelp! It's a drive by and miss it place in a strip mall off of University Avenue. When I was in the Yelp app, it happened to be within thirty minutes until closing. The gal that answered the phone said she could help me with selecting a frame as long as I got there before closing. I arrived with a several feet by several feet size family portrait print. The gal showed a few options from which I could choose. I do not frame a lot of things. Project was delivered on time with the quoted date. I can't speak to the fairness of the pricing, but the service here is certainly top notch, and I would not hesitate to recommend Isthmus Art and Framing for your needs.

Do Not Use This Business For Any Framing Work!!! I took a piece in one year ago and waited 5 months…read moreto get it back. I was told they had a water break and were doing repairs on that and this was causing the delay. I thought I would give them another chance and 3 months ago took a picture in for framing and I cannot get ahold of them to find out where my picture is. No one answers the phone and no one returns a text message even though the phone message instructs the caller to text instead of leaving a message. When I finally got through to Meagan after calling the shop numerous times, she was rude and dismissive and told me they were just too busy and she will get back to me. She has not gotten back to me. All I want is my picture back now, even if it is not finished. I will never take any work there again, and I would never recommend this business to anyone else.

After reading the positive reviews listed here we called Monroe Street Framing looking for…read moreassistance in mounting a . Initially I spoke with Jeremy who lived up to everything that the reviews indicated the staff with Monroe Street Framing would be. He was knowledgeable, pleasant and extremely helpful. Our experience with Jeremy was everything that we would have expected from the reviews. Jeremy helped us to come up with a solution to wall mount a small hand-made quilt. The agreement was that we would pay for and pick up the foam core two weeks later (we were leaving for a trip). Upon returning from our trip I again called the shop and spoke with a woman who was unable to find our order and insisted that they did not take the order and would not have been able to fill such an order. I called again and spoke with the owner Dave. I explained what had happened and initially he was pleasant and again helpful. He confirmed that they would in fact be able to provide a piece of foam core in the size that we had requested. When he realized that all we had ordered was the foam core his attitude became extremely negative and hostile and his willingness to work with us was non-existent. He explained that they were a "full service" framing shop and that there was no financial benefit for them to sell us the foam core and he was unwilling to do so. I tried to explain that we had been told that this was an option per Jeremy. Dave responded, "I don't know what he told you, but I am the boss and I am not going to do this...try finding it on on-line if you can. Good luck." We were very disappointed with his response and attitude. While we may have only been looking for a piece of foam core this time, "owner" Dave seems to have missed the point of customer service and the benefit of a return customer. We will never consider going back to Monroe Street Framing for any other project, nor will we recommend the shop to friends and family. It seems clear from the treatment that we received from Dave that they do not feel the need to encourage new business. Apparently our business was beneath them. We wish them luck. Within 15 minutes of talking to Dave I called a local sign company, Budget Signs, who agreed to sell us a piece of foam core immediately. No waiting, no hassle and no dismissive, negative attitude. Thank you Budget Signs!
