I recently visited Beard’s Framing (Tualatin) to have a photo framed, as well as framing a piece of art. The staffer who greeted me, upon my entry, was prompt and pleasant. Said staffer took me through the frame, matting and glazing process, and we selected just the right framing materials for each piece. The order was placed, with an estimated completion of 2 weeks +/-. The staffer collected the cost of services, and I departed after receiving a pleasant “send-off.”

She was amazing. The other places said it will take 2 weeks for the job I needed. She was able to get my project done in a couple of hours!! She did the best job. She also wrapped it for me and put a beautiful string around the gift. My brother in law was so impressed with his gift. Thank you for saving me Jo. You are so amazing, friendly and such a caring person. I hope many more people see how great you are. Beard's Framing, you have the best employee. Don't let her go.
