Frame Savvy

Next to my daughter’s birth and giving my life to Christ, my wedding was one of the most extraordinary days of my life. I searched hard and long for a frame shop to compliment my amazing wedding photo of me and my spouse. My sister said, «No worries! I know exactly where to go.» She took me to see Cheryl at Frame Savvy. From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted with a warm welcome, a smile and they were just as excited about my photo as I was. This was a photo that exemplified all of the love and happiness we felt on our wedding day so it had to be «just right!» Thankyou Cheryl for the exceptional breathtaking work. I teared up when I saw it because it was absolutely amazing.
Thankyou Cheryl and Frame Savvy for being a part of my dream come true wedding. You Rock!

I brought in a 30×40 reprint of a 1924 map of Manhattan, and I had no prior experience with custom framing. Turns out the guy who printed the map for me left too much white margin to be covered by even the most overlapping frame, so the owner of the shop Cheryl (or Sheryl?) advised me to let her trim it down some to make the finished product look more polished and avoid being an oversized job. Great advice.
The finished product was beautiful, and from what I can see, great quality. I have to take off a star because the shop is so busy that they are currently behind, which pushed my completion date back a week and a half from the estimate. That posed a problem for me because it was a gift. No one communicated to me that the project would be late, I had to call to check on progress to find that out that the job hadn’t been cut yet, which was annoying.
I’m only taking off one star because of the great finished work, and C/​Sheryl explained to me the extenuating circumstances behind her being temporarily understaffed. I can be sympathetic to those types of problems in small businesses. If it happens again I will update my review and lessen the rating.

Really great folks. I’ve taken two different prints to them and they did a great job on both. Very personable, knowledgeable about options, and reasonable prices.
The only downside, and this isn’t their fault, is that it can be tough to park in the complex where their shop is located. Likely easier during the day than at dinner time.

I noticed this frame shop a few months ago and. .. as needed art framed, I figured I’d give them a shot. As a color-​blind person, I often rely on others to help me find the right color and fit for most things that I purchase. Well, I was truly wowed by what I saw when she unveiled my five pieces. And, my friends who saw the work were impressed. But it’s not the color matching and attention to detail that’s most impress about this shop — the owner is invested in her practice, the community, and has a warm sprit. I feel really good about being a patron to a place that reinvests in the area.

I’ve used FRAME SAVVY on several occasions for both personal and business photos, and each time I’ve walked away happy and satisfied with the job! Just recently I had a super rush job that required coordination with another vendor for an engraved brass plate. All the stars aligned and I had my beautiful piece in time to send via fedex! Cheryl is excellent and I gladly give her services my highest recommendation!

I recently had a set of 4 square photos (the Peter Lik Elements series) plus 1 large ketubah framed here and was extremely pleased with the entire process. The Elements 4 pack is strangely mounted and thus hard to frame, but Frame Savvy did a wonderful job. The ketubah mat and frame is beautiful, and I’m glad the lady recommended a dual mat because it makes a huge difference. The customer service was great; I felt like the lady there was truly interested in providing the best possible framing options. The work was outstanding. And best of all, the price was several hundred under what I had anticipated.

I chose this shop because it is a convenient location and the price I was quoted over the phone seemed very reasonable compared to some of the other price-​shopping I did. My visit in person was equally pleasant, with the woman there taking the time to explain and show different frame and mat choices, price points, etc. The finished product was very nicely done (and it was a rather large custom framing job). Despite dropping it off just a couple of weeks before Christmas, and stating that I didn’t really need it back until January, they still had it done and ready to go before Christmas. I will happily use this business again the next time I need framing.

Closed and reopened in Hyattsville as Frame Savvy.
