The man's work seems to be solid. He is no "faster" than 'Michaels' in that he normally requests two weeks for standard work. Unlike Michael's, however, he does all the work right there on his premises. The prices may be described as "competitive," but do not expect bargains.The fact that he is closed on Saturdays might strike some as odd and he does not seem to be real good about answering the telephone. But if you are looking for a legitimate alternative to a big corporation to help you with your framing needs, there is no reason not to check out this individual. Make sure you are as picky and choosy as you need to be in order to get exactly what you want regarding mats, borders, glass, and frames. Do not let the salesman's silence or body language intimidate you into making a hasty decision.
