Robert McClintock's work is stunning. I can recognize his vivid colors and style from a mile away…read more He does this photoshop work of many popular and eye-catching places around the city. My favorite ones are of the Inner Harbor from Federal Hill and some of the streets and buildings like the Natty Boh symbol. I often make sure my run path takes me right past the gallery so I can stop in for a peak and admire some of the pieces I could hang on my wall one day. They also offer tiny little canvases that could work in cute spaces. One day, one day.

You can buy anything from a postcard of a street scene (seen) as he calls it, to huge wall canvases. There are a myriad of scenes from touristy shots (The harbor from Fed Hill) to shots from east Baltimore (row homes, corner bars) to dogs, cats, a select few of Fenway (in MA), Philly, and NY? Beware they are dog people at the gallery and will often have Super Lou and another dog around. The dogs are friendly and love to play with customers so stop by and browse, pet the dogs, and chat with the owner.

Tom was great to work with. His follow-through with options was helpful and led to my becoming a fanboy and an enthusiastic supporter of the JLP Framing staff. Furthermore, JLP has a good network of contacts to help with installation and other related needs. Bottom line: reasonable costs coupled with professional, high standards and backed with expert craftsmanship. I will be returning soon; he is the only framer I will use in Baltimore, and I am very comfortable with that.

I handed Brian a rolled 4 foot by 3 foot map and I got a beautifully framed and finished wall hanging, including hanging hardware. Spacer buttons on the bottom back keep it hanging parallel to the wall. Something I never considered and didn't have to specify. All corners are flush and the finished product doesn't feel flimsy. Small details like the spacer buttons and the back covering are the mark of a true professional. I am very happy with his work.

Outstanding work with a very personal touch! Truly can't recommend Truax Custom Frames enough.read more

I had a painting that needed framing recently - something with incredible sentimental value to me…read more I'd driven past Fleckenstein a million times (I live in the neighborhood) but had never been in. But I loved the idea of taking the painting somewhere in the neighborhood to be framed. When I walked in, I knew I'd made the right decision. The customer service was incredible - they really walked us through options, pricing, and other details. They explained it might take them a while to get to the project and offered to let us keep the painting at home for a while until they could work on the frame. We ended up going with something modern, minimalist, and simple, because the painting is busy enough on its own, but they have a really incredible selection of frames to choose from. From modern to traditional, simple to ornate - they have it all. While we made arrangements for the framing (measuring, quote, etc.), I wandered around the shop, which is also a gallery. It has some really incredible art. It's worth stopping into as a gallery as much as a framing store, especially if you have some bare walls at home. They called when our piece was ready, and I couldn't wait to pick it up. Just as promised - it's perfect. I thought the price was extremely fair and reasonable (honestly, I think I'd have paid even more at that chain big box store - you know the one). When I have things to frame in the future, I won't hesitate to take it to Fleckenstein. A great local business.

I cannot begin to describe how happy I am with their work! I had gone to them before for a jersey to be framed, which they did a phenomenal job on, but this past holiday season, I had cause to take several pieces at once. Ed took the time to go over my framing options, from the frame itself, to the matting, to the glass. He worked with me until we found something that was exactly what I was looking for. He was not afraid to give me his opinion, either, which I very much appreciated and agreed with. He was able to push out two of the pieces in time for the holidays, despite my late start (about two weeks out, probably less). He also transformed two art poster prints into new works of art themselves. We had received a poster print of 'Nighthawks' and the 'Tournée le Chat Noir' over the past two holidays from my parents, but neither really fit into a standard size frame. Ed and I found very agreeable frames that perfectly matched, accentuated, and enhanced each one into something higher than it was. I couldn't be more elated by how everything turned out. They are very professional, reasonable in cost, and highly trustworthy with the materials. You can bet that I will be taking future framing projects here, along with sending all of my friends and family there, too. Thank you so much for your outstanding craftsmanship, and I look forward to working with you more in the future!

Over the years, I have referred all friends and family to Ed and Cathy for framing portraits, diplomas, degrees, fine art, and sports memorabilia. Ed takes much pride in his work and is always willing to go the extra mile to make you happy - and provides great suggestions if you're not quite sure what you're looking for! I highly recommend Framing Palace as well as Glen Burnie Custom Framing (their original location) to anyone looking for quality work and attention to detail.
