Choosing our hands-on framer in Leslieville means no middleman, and many advantages.
When setting out to create the perfect custom frame for your cherished artwork, photographs or memorabilia, choosing the right framer and art preservation expert is a critical first step.
However, not all picture framers are created equal, with some completing their work in-house (or in-shop), and most relying on an outside source to construct the frame. At Allen Gallery Framing, we proudly do the former, which helps us to provide a higher quality custom framing experience for many different reasons.
In this article we’ll explore six strong reasons why opting for an in-house custom framer can be a much wiser choice for you and your valued pieces:
1. Higher quality assurance
There’s a lot that goes into the crafting of your unique custom frame. With its construction carried out in-house by our seasoned Toronto framers and artists, a higher level of quality control is made possible as every step is closely overseen.
With this hands-on approach, any measurement or material issues can be caught and dealt with immediately, and each stage of the framing process can receive the direct, meticulous care your artwork deserves.
2. Quicker turnaround time
Seeing as there’s no need to wait for an additional outside service to receive and complete your project, in-house framers like our experts at Allen Gallery can provide a faster turnaround, completing your custom frame in a timely manner (and happily accommodating rush jobs in many instances).
Simply let us know during your consultation if you need your frame by a certain date/time, which can be as soon as the next day.
3. Improved communication
Since our in-house framers are directly involved with every step and aspect of the framing process, this makes it a lot easier to discuss your exact needs, and implement the intricate custom details of your frame. This allows us to provide a truly personalized framing experience, with a final result that perfectly reflects your individual style and requirements.
4. Greater customization options
As Toronto framers who appreciate the significance of art and beauty, we understand that framing is a personal process, and we want to ensure that we honour your vision. This is another reason we complete all of our framing in-shop.
With that being said, we also know that preferences may evolve as your frame comes to life. If you have any specific requests or require any last-minute changes to your frame, we’ll be able to adapt and adjust seamlessly, with more flexibility than if an external service was also involved. Always feel free to let us know your thoughts and ideas during any stage of your frame’s creation!
5. Transparent and competitive pricing
Picture framers who work with middlemen generally face additional costs that are then passed on to the customer. Without relying on additional personnel and handling all of the work themselves, in-house framers are able to offer more competitive, transparent and consistent pricing than those who outsource.
6. Enhanced Security and Safer Handling for Your Art
Lastly, choosing an in-house framer reduces the number of people who will be handling your precious artwork, ultimately minimizing the risk of accidents or damage that could occur during transit, or that could result from misunderstandings about specific handling requirements. This is especially important when dealing with irreplaceable, high-value or sentimental pieces that need extra attention.
Through keeping the entire custom framing process securely under one roof and with our skilled framers and art preservation experts, you can rest assured that your art piece(s) will be treated with the utmost care from start to finish.
