Here are a few of the factors you should consider when you decide to get something framed: What the artwork is worth? This can go beyond monetary value. A painting by a now dead relative may have a sentimental value which makes it priceless even though it is no masterpiece. Similarly wedding photos and University degrees deserve the best care and top quality materials to prolong their lives. Does the framer care about you and your work? This is subjective but it is important. Does the framer stop working and greet you promptly when you enter? Is he neatly dressed and groomed? Does he take the time to find out what you want and explain the options fully or does he show you one idea and try to wrap it up as quickly as possible? Is the price fair and can he justify it if asked? This is a complex issue and a hard one for a non-framer to evaluate but a good framer won't mind explaining his price structure. The range of materials available is mind-boggling and if you try to compare prices from shop to shop it is unlikely any two framers will show you the same thing. Generally, however, you will get what you pay for. Some framers, when confronted by a customer "just wanting a price..." or who is obviously shopping around will be bluffed into showing the cheapest options they have. This may result in a cheap job you will never really be happy with. Likewise some may encourage you to spend more than you want to. Ask about the quality of the various frames and what you are getting for the extra money. Any good framer can show you several options at different prices and give you a top and bottom figure for a job. Then it is up to you how far you want to go. Remember, you will have to live with your choice for a long time. A good job will give you far more long- term satisfaction than a good price. Why is framing so expensive? Please don't try and draw comparisons between the work of a custom framer and those ready-made frames you see in K Mart and most photo shops. Ready-mades are usually cobbled together from shoddy materials in Asian sweatshops and imported by the container load. The better quality ones are usually only slightly cheaper than a custom-made frame. By contrast every item a custom framer sells is a one-off, tailor made in materials chosen by the customer and designed to display the artwork at its best while protecting it as far as possible from deterioration. In any purchase, you would expect that a custom made item would cost more than an off -the-shelf product. Tailored clothes and once-off furnishings all cost more than ready - mades so why shouldn't custom made picture frames cost a bit more? Generally the price is directly related to the quality of the materials and the size and difficulty of the job.
