Custom framing costs vary depending on the size of the artwork, frame style, matting selections, glass type, and any specialty mounting or preservation materials required.

At Art Gallery & Frame Shop, every custom framing project is designed around your artwork and budget, with personalized recommendations to help you achieve the look and protection you're after.
The cost to professionally frame a sports jersey depends on the size of the jersey, the type of display desired, frame and mat selections, glass options, and whether additional items such as photos, medals, or autographs are included. Each jersey display is custom designed to protect and showcase your memorabilia while creating a presentation you'll be proud to display for years to come.
Shadow box framing costs depend on the size and depth of the item, frame selection, mounting requirements, background materials, and glass choice.

Ready-made frames are manufactured in standard sizes and may not provide the ideal fit or protection for your artwork. Custom framing is built specifically for your piece, allowing you to choose the frame, matting, glass, and mounting methods that best complement and preserve it. The result is a more professional appearance and better long-term protection.
The best glass depends on where the artwork will be displayed and the level of protection desired. UV-protective glass helps reduce fading caused by sunlight, while non-glare and conservation glass improve visibility and preservation. We help customers select the glass option that best balances clarity, protection, and budget.
Museum glass is a premium framing glass that offers exceptional clarity while blocking a high percentage of harmful UV rays. It significantly reduces reflections, allowing artwork to be viewed more clearly while providing maximum protection against fading. Museum glass is an excellent choice for valuable artwork, family heirlooms, limited edition prints, and treasured photographs.
Protecting artwork begins with proper framing materials. UV-protective glass, acid-free mats, conservation mounting, and quality backing materials all help preserve artwork over time. It's also recommended to keep framed pieces out of direct sunlight and away from excessive heat or humidity whenever possible.
Yes. Family photographs can be professionally framed using conservation-quality materials designed to help preserve them for future generations.
