The Chesapeake Framing Company — Local services in Kensington

I recently moved into a condo and was searching for an installer to help me with installation of a couple heavy mirrors as well as a gallery wall of sports memorabilia and some historic lithographs. I got on the waiting list and within a week Dylan was at my door to help. This personable young man knows about art! Not only did he make great suggestions about hanging height, arrangement and spacing, he worked quickly. In a mere 2 hours, he was done and it was perfection! Best money I ever spent and one of the best experiences I ever had selecting someone for a major project without a referral. I may not need more installation help anytime soon, but I will be passing his name along to anyone I know as the best person for the job. ...

This company is the best! i would give them 10 star rating. First, they are pros at listening to your needs and selecting the best frames! The selection and quality of the frames are outstanding and the workmanship was perfect! They even did a really professional job of repairing a tear in one painting. Also, very timely and good follow. And the best if that the owner, Mary Jo, can come to your house and help to hang paintings. She has a real eye for what goes where, and hung everything to show them to their best advantage. The arrangements are really cohesive and perfectly installed! it was a delight working with this business from start to finish! I could not be happier! I would recommend them to you! you will...

I can't believe I agreed to that, but when I saw the way it was framed, I was shocked. The photo was set way too high in the frame, nothing like what an experienced framer would place. When I explained that this was not what I asked for, they offered to fix it FOR $150.00 MORE. Nope, not again. Seriously, go somewhere else or you'll...
