Studio 71 Custom Picture Framing — Attraction in Hillsborough

Studio71 does very high-quality framing. I've had multiple original artworks that I care a lot about framed here, and I trust them to do a good job.

The frames I've received are sturdy hardwood. There's no wobble at all. The matting is cleanly done, including for a complicated multi-panel job. The mounting hardware is very solid.

The staff is competent and helpful. They clearly like art and treat each job with respect. I've gone in with a vague idea of what I want for a piece, and they've walked me through a range of options to suit the aesthetics I'm looking for.

By doing so my framed pieces stand out. The quality work is at reasonable prices. This is a true professional in every since...

The staff here is AWESOME! I was helping a teacher and dear friend get her house in order after she became wheelchair bound recently. While hanging some photos on the wall, the glass to a high-end frame shattered. I called several places around town and even drove to some in the rain to get an estimate. The prices were ridiculously high. This place was only $14 and custom cut the glass to the size of the frame. They allowed me to change the glass in the store but the clutz that I am, I cut my hand and started bleeding. They were not only kind enough to offer me a bandaid and alcohol, but also changed the...
