I just recently took my second piece of art to frantic framers to be framed and they were able to give me expert advice as well as provide with me with a beautiful finished product in record time. My living room finally feels complete now that I have a framed piece from one of my favorite artists. Highly recommend!

I have been a customer of Frantic Framers for 20 years. I have a wonderful history with the store, its past owners, and the art teacher, Julie. At first, I must admit I was timid, but Steve and Dennis, have been outstanding. I have had several prints framed and pictures restored, recently.
The staff is always courteous, knowledgeable, and patient.
I can not imagine ever going anywhere else. Thank you.

Fantastic experience. Brought in a concert poster I wanted framed. The employee took his time to show me different options and different price points. Didn't try to up-sell or rush my decision. Ordered a great costume frame, and was done in under 2 weeks. I am very happy with the quality and service. Will go here again!

Somehow this is where I always end up getting my pictures framed. The price range usually has something I can afford, sometimes on sale, and they don't take forever. The results are neatly done as well. Their staff is friendly and professional and they have NEVER messed anything up for me, which is important when you are having one-of-a-kind pieces framed. Well worth the extra price over a generic frame shop like Michael's or Hobby Lobby because they will not ruin your art/diploma/etc.

My mother introduced me to this shop 20 years ago. We typically go to together and have a mother daughter day. It’s fun to to go over ideas with the designers. Sure it’ s expensive as it is a customized project. I liken it to picking out tiles or rugs. If you want the best you have to pay for it. I’ve always been happy with the work here.

I've had numerous pieces framed at Frantic, these guys are great! Always willing to take the time to listen to the customer, give advice, and find what works best. Framing is expensive, so I really look for quality, and Frantic Framers provides just that. I get the added satisfaction of supporting a local small business.

One of my best friends lives down the road from Frantic. I kept passing by the window display featuring Tom Petty. I miss the heck out of Petty. I ended up buying a Tom Petty poster which has gone in my music room. I have gone back a few times to frame my autograph collection. Super nice intelligent guys!

Great experience! I have gotten many pictures/diplomas framed here over the years and I have always been happy with the results. Paul the owner is a great guy and he stands behind his work. He created a beautiful glass enclosed baseball memorabilia display for our family. He even delivered it to my house! Highly recommended!

While visiting from out of town, my husband and I needed a photo collage framed same day for a family event. Frantic Framers was extremely helpful in all respects, including picking out a frame that suited the collage and having the framing done even more quickly than expected. I might add that several years ago, Frantic Framers went above and beyond all expectations while framing a print for my elderly mother.

Came here to have an oil painting stretched. It's a low cost job-- fairly simple. I was impressed with how kind and attentive they were even on such a low dollar sale. While I already had a frame in mind, I did look at their premade selections and thought the prices were completely reasonable. I will be back. Thanks Frantic Framers!

Just about everyone's talked about the framing, but I'd come here for the art supplies when I lived in Quincy. Quincy has a real dearth of art supply outlets -- this was the only one I knew about -- and when my wife decided to take up oil painting, here's where I picked up the needful things for her, and stopped back periodically for refills. I admit I only visited a couple times after the shop was forced out of the downtown by that idiotic McGrath extension boondoggle (it was no longer in my LOS, and the Utrecht store in Boston was), but I always found a wide selection.

I got a map framed for my dad for his birthday. It was the first time I went to Frantic Framers, but it definitely won't be the last. They were awesome.
The woman who helped me pick out the frame was so patient and had a waaay better eye for color and detail than I did -- she spent about 15 minutes with me talking about different tones and what might complement the colors in the map, and the frame she helped me pick out was exactly perfect.
When I picked up the finished product I was thrilled -- it was even better than I thought it would be. Beautiful and professional.

I've worked with Frantic Framers in the past and have NEVER been disappointed. Don't know about Bill E's experience but it's always helpful to get the name of the person you spoke with before heading into any shop.
Rick is one of the best in the business. He offers great suggestions but will do whatever you'd like. I had a special project I was working on for my nephew and Rick came up with solutions and creativity that I would never have thought of. I brought piece in late Thursday night and asked for the impossible timeline of Friday and he delivered. The project

I called these guys in the morning to see if they had a frame and mat that could work with a 3ft by 11.5" picture. The guy on the phone told me that they probably do, and to come on in and we'll find something. When I showed up, I told the guy at the dest about my call in the morning, and he said that they didn't have anything that would work for me.
Good stuff. When I let him know how pissed I was, he asked what the big deal was, since I was from around here (as mentioned within the extended conversation that I omitted to keep you, the reader, from getting too bored.), and that
