Dave and Sarah are knowledgeable and genuinely committed their work and their customers, going the extra mile to ensure the end result exceeds expectations.

I was able to invest in a bulk order and saved quite a bit with their generous bulk pricing options. Barrett and his team are a joy to work with and were able to digitize my difficult artworks that include gold leaf paint and colour correct accurately for the glare. My original works are 5x7s and the 8x10s look great and the proofs of 11x14s as well. I was given some extra goodies as sample proofs. I also had note card sets made and amazing stickers with a foam core display. Barrett also customized the backs of my cards with a variation on my sticker designs that is super cool and took the time to brand my stickers with my business name. Buffalo Big Print will take the time to get it right and treat your art with respect. I'd recommend them to any artist looking for high quality ink jet prints of their artworks. They offer many tiers of paper and prints.

I am beyond disappointed with my recent experience at Frame by Design. I entrusted them with two…read moreone-of-a-kind blueprints created by my late father--pieces that were decades old and held immense sentimental value. Both were completely destroyed due to their incompetence. I had been a loyal customer for years under previous ownership, which is why I kept coming back. Unfortunately, this experience has made it clear that things have changed--and I will not be returning. The service was extremely slow. I brought the blueprints in just before Christmas 2024, and by early February, I had to call to check on the status. Only then was I told they were prepping for a move and would contact me shortly. When they did call me to tell me they were ready for pick up, I checked one and it seemed pretty good (a few bubbles in the mounting but tolerable). The other I didn't open until I got home and it was full of bubbles. These pieces should have never been allowed to leave the store in that condition. Bottom line: it's apparent that they are not well versed in using the heat application equipment process (used to secure the blueprint paper to the backing). This left air bubbles in the pieces and they then tried running them through the machine at a higher heat, which only made things worse. They blamed the paper, stating that it is not always guaranteed to eliminate wrinkles, however, having tried one 'sacrificial' blue print afterward as a test and using a higher heat, it produced a completely flat mount. In the end, I had to provide two different blueprints and change the mounting format entirely. The whole process dragged on for months. While they offered to refund the mounting service (approx. $100), the framing for both cost $1,000--plus, the original blueprints were completely destroyed, and I had to settle for different pieces to replace these. What makes this even worse is the complete lack of accountability. The salesperson I dealt with, Stormy, never once apologised or acknowledged the extent of the damage. For a business that handles irreplaceable items, this disregard for customers and their property is unacceptable. If you value your artwork or sentimental pieces, do not trust them with your items.

Since our last dealing with Frame by Design (FBD) it has undergone new ownership. I wanted to have…read more3 pictures reframed and was told there could be a supplier discount, there was also a setup fee which I was told to be $18. FBD was supposed to call the next morning to confirm this discount. This did not occur, and I followed up by phone call. "Stormy" the proprietor indicated that suppliers were not available until later in the week. She followed up with the discount information and stated that her employee did not offer $18 for the setup fee. Stormy was confrontational, aggressive and argumentative in her response. Better to take your business where the customer is respected and not stressed out! I wouldn't recommend this business to anyone.

Note: Review is based on quote which the business owner, Sharon, provided me with…read more As a newb to framing, I got 1 quote and was sorta shocked at the cost, so I wanted to shop around to get an idea of what other people were charging. I was referred to Sharon's shop by a friend. Sharon was great, loves what she does, and spent quite a bit of time with me choosing a particular frame for my painting. Admittedly, I left still shocked about the cost of framing, but with an appreciation that it does either emphasize the artwork OR does absolutely nothing for it. Sharon totally understood and even provided me with a couple of names of other framing businesses in the area to seek more quotes! Who does that? So I may be back! In any event, I don't have any concerns about leaving my artwork with her. :)

I took photos of my bouquet before I took it apart to dry each of the flowers. I was concerned they wouldn't be able to put it back to together exactly the way it was, but they did! they did such a great job putting my brooches back in the bouquet as well. The frame itself is custom made of course with the wood and colors I wanted to match. fast forward to about a year later (marriage didn't work out) and the owner was very gracious as I reluctantly wanted them to take their awesome work back. The owner gave me the opportunity to at least keep the frame (even willing to change up the look) to repurpose it as they couldn't refund the money. He hung on to it for me for months (and gave me back my brooches) before I made the decision of giving it up entirely. I thought at least they could keep it at their store as a wonderful example of their work on their first framed wedding bouquet.
