Hear from some of our happy customers

Catonsville Custom Framing has always gone the extra mile to help us select custom frames and mats for our pictures. We appreciate both the quality of their work and their resolve to meet our needs.

I had a 100-year-old frame restored; it came out looking like it was 2 days old! Beautifully done; perfect work. I look forward to coming back to Catonsville Custom Framing real soon.

Dear Ms. Begleiter,

We are writing to let you know how pleased we were recently with how you restored one of our old, damaged paintings. You did such an excellent job that we wanted to let you know. Our old, damaged painting looks like new, thanks to fine work!

Description of Work:

I initially found Catonsville Custom Framing while Googling for a gallery in Baltimore that could stretch a painting my spouse and I have commissioned with an artist in Oregon. We have commissioned a large painting or a rural scene in Northeast Oregon to hang in our living room. Given its intended size and distance it will travel, we wanted to have a reliable and talented firm in Baltimore that could expertly stretch the canvas upon arrival without damage.

We spoke with the folks at Catonsville Custom Framing who were reassuringly knowledgeable. This is not the kind of service that you can easily track down by checking with friends. I then decided that it would be a good idea to do a test run with smaller, yet equally important projects. So, I brought in for framing my late mother's wedding portrait from 1953 and the high school graduation photo of my spouse's next-oldest brother, who was killed by a drunk driver soon after the photo was taken in 1977. In other words, emotionally critical photos.

Mary, the owner, thoughtfully guided me through frame and matte choices and expertly helped me decide on updated choices that would both showcase the photos in a modern way, but which would not result in the loss of any of the historical presentation.

Member Comments:

The results were flawless. Both photos look modern and stylish, yet simultaneously are faithful to the time in which each as taken. A perfect, balanced treatment. I am extremely pleased and grateful to have a framing gallery on which I can rely.

I also think it's worth noting that the location - a small space on a busy stretch of Frederick Road in Catonsville - is not meant to impress. That just confirms to me that the focus is on the quality of the work they perform. I have used Angies List to find such equally important service as dog sitters, movers and home IT people. Catonsville Custom Gramind exceeded my expectations and met my high demands. You can entrust your most important piece of art and/or piece of family history to them. Well cared for will they be.

Thank you for framing my canvases so beautifully. I appreciate the time you spent helping me select a frame. Your selection is extensive and diverse. Thank you especially for your expertise. You guided me toward a frame that compliments the canvases and will make my paintings look wonderful in my home. I thoroughly enjoyed doing business with you. The quality of the framing is top-notch and the price was very fair. I am very pleased and recommend your business to anyone looking to frame a canvas, print, or poster.

Creative framers. Very good customer service. They are able to think outside the box for creative framing solutions and designs. Search for coupons in mailers and papers before heading over to the store, it will help with prices. Very convenient location on Frederick Road in the heart of Catonsville. Very pleased with service and framing work.

Low Prices. My mom is an artist, so whenever she makes a new picture, I want to display it well. Custom framing can be very expensive, so I was looking for a quality low cost place. This shop is just that. They helped us choose a frame that fit the painting and their prices were low, which helps when there are so many pictures to frame. Now this shop is where I take all my mom's pictures to be framed!
