I got something special For my wife and needed a frame done. I googled places and found two places…read more Silent pictures and Village framing. Village was a little bit less expensive but when I went to Silent and dealt with Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a little bit more price wise but she did work with me on cost. Her vibe and energy were wonderful. She was helpful and took her time giving me different options for this special gift. Her turn around time was faster than expected and I really appreciated it. I have 2 more things I need framed and will be coming back to Elizabeth at Silent Pictures. I really don't think anyone else could of done a better job.

We were on the hunt for small glass jars for my daughter's beach-sand collection. Front of mind were those small glass jars that Klipp and seal. I can't remember the name of them. She had gotten them in the past for $1.50 to 2 dollars each. I'm guessing the tariffs have hit Michael's because they were up to nearly 4 dollars each. I can't blame Michael's. My discussed is aimed elsewhere. I would like retailers both online and brick and mortar to make a note of how much we are paying for tariffs. I think this would help prevent backlash against local shops. But I digress She found what she was looking for, and we started the self checkout process. Unsurprising, there were glitches at self check out. More proof that we need people The associate was so pleasant and informative and made the check out frustration plus not a minus.

We went in on a whim and to window shop…read more I finally found 12"X18"X3/8" closed cell foam, and not a huge roll that I'll never completely use. I've looked in several places and couldn't find it. I asked a young guy what I was looking for and gave him trade names as options. Instead of a blank stare he walked me over to the aisle. There it was. I should have gotten his name. It's for orthotics. It's an arts and crafts store and much more. Their picture framing department staff can recommend matting and frames that will compliment your photo or whatever you need mounted. I read some reviews. True, it's a large store and some items aren't marked with a price. But, they do have a large inventory and not everything is based on an industrial usage. There are what used to be called rainy day projects for children. Maybe they'll learn motor skills and knowledge that could be considered transfer of training later in life. Icing a cake and applying plaster use similar tools and skills.

I thought I properly protected a minimalist, blonde wood frame before we moved from White Plains to…read moreThe Catskills- but when I started unpacking my picture frame boxes, one of them had a nasty break during the move with the company we hired. I've had luck in the past taking pictures frames to my local Michael's in Westchester, but now that I'm up here, I wanted to support a small business. Valentina Custom Frame & G. on Main St in New Paltz has its own parking lot- which makes it super easy if you can't find any parking on the strip. Between modern, rustic, wood, ornate and other frame styles, this small shop, showcases at least 100, 200+ (if not more) samples to choose from. Valentina aims to please because the moment I came here with a desperate look on my face and showed her the frame, she eased my worries and explained what how she'll fix it. At $25 to fix my frame- not only did I get a banging deal and she brought my frame back to life- but she's professional and passionate about all things frames.

Valentina took the time to understand what I was looking for and walked me through the various…read moreoptions. One item I wanted framed was the embroidered section of a pillow my mom had made. She was able to extract that section and insert it into a beautiful frame that highlights the embroidery. The quality of the frames and the framing itself is fantastic and clearly above what you would find if you tried to do it yourself or went to a Michael's. Plus I now have the peace of mind that my mom's artwork is preserved forever.

We hired Arnold to replace our interior doors, door and window trim and baseboard. We asked him if…read morehe would be able to be complete for the painters who were scheduled to begin 3 weeks later and he agreed. We are now 8 weeks past that deadline and still not complete. He is also no longer answering calls or text messages. He damaged some of the freshly painted walls adjacent to the trim he installed and the paint was not applied appropriately to cover his patch. The trim in 3 door openings is not level or plumb and the doors are sticking- brand new doors are sticking!!! One door cannot be installed as the door frame he installed is 1-1/2" out of level. We asked for 1x4 finger jointed pre-primed pine trim for all door and window trim and 1x6 finger jointed pre-primed pine trim for he baseboard. To save money he used common pine boards with major knots and holes in them. We needed him to finish the install so that we wouldn't lose our spot in the painters schedule, so we agreed that he could install it if he caulked all the holes and painted it so the knots didn't show through. He didn't do that. He used different trim that doesn't match what we asked for on the first floor of our home because he said it would allow him to go faster and it was similar width to what we wanted. We agreed, again, to get him to finish before the painters. He didn't finish before the painters and now our walls were damaged when he was installing, caulking and painting the trim. DO NOT USE THIS GUY.

Eleven days ago, after seeing their yard sign…read morein front of my neighbor's house (and seeing how nice their house looked after remodeling), I left a message on the voicemail for North East Remodeling Group. Anthony called me back the next day, and came to look at my house that afternoon. He got back to me within another day or so with options and estimates. We quickly agreed on a price that felt reasonable and fair; it included not only a replacement, but also disposal of all the old roofing materials, and a full lifetime warranty. Today, less than two weeks after my initial call, I got my new roof. Anthony's crew showed up on time, were friendly and polite, and worked hard. They were careful about spreading tarp all around the house to catch everything that came off, and then did a very thorough job of clean up. My roof looks fantastic, and I am HUGELY relieved to know that my house is finally fully protected from the elements. I'm extremely happy with the work North East Remodeling Group did. I'll use them again the next time I need work on my house, and would highly recommend them to anyone.
