I loved the The Great Frame Up in Niles! I needed to price out custom framing of a sports poster that was approximately 32 x 44. They did have the special type of reflective control glass I like to use, so that was good. I went in to meet the owner, Sandy, with a quote in hand from another local frame shop franchise. We picked out a wood frame that complemented the image on the poster and would go with the exposed brick wall of a new bar/restaurant, where it was going to serve as a centerpiece. Sandy beat the competition by nearly $400. My two cents worth is, no matter where you go for your custom framing, and unless you've got money to burn, I recommend you always get quotes from Sandy at The Great Frame Up in Niles to compare before you buy.
I went in to get a small painting custom framed. I had gotten a couple quotes on custom sized prints in the past at other stores like Michael's and Hobby Lobby and was expecting to pay at least $75 for the cheapest frames based on those quotes. I was surprised that for the size painting, the cheapest quote was $55 and even less with a 30% off coupon! Sandy helped me look for a few different frames. I found a great brown frame that looked weathered to fit the country-like painting of a cow I brought in. It was ready after about a week. When I picked it up, I brought in two more prints to be custom framed because the prices seem pretty good.
There are multiple framed displays with objects instead of prints that caught my eye. Really cute displays that make great gifts. So, open your imagination because Sandy can create awesome works if you have little trinkets or any small objects that you want to display in glass instead of on a shelf. One held each object between panes of glass that had depth; really cool!
They also have thousands of prints on their website & quite a few in store for sale.
I will definitely return for all my framing needs.

Amazing experience! Sandy and her team @ The Great Frame Up went above and beyond creating a framed moment of my sons’ sporting event that looks professional and astounding! I can’t thank them enough for how wonderfully it turned out. Thank you!
