What is involved in a "semi-custom framing job"

Semi-custom work involves adding a custom-cut mat to a ready-made frame. Most ready-made frames come with inexpensive glass that offers no protection from harmful UV light and acidic cardboard backing boards.  Upgrading to UV-filtering glass and acid-free backing will help protect your investment for many years. We may also be able to help you re-use a frame that you already own. This may or may not be cost effective for you. If your frame is in bad repair or requires extensive clean-up before it can be used, the additional labor involved may offset any savings. We can only determine this on a case-by-case basis by examining the frame. Estimates are free. If your art or photo is not a standard size, cutting a custom mat to fit your choice of ready-made frame can be a cost saving measure. Do you have a frame you would like to reuse? I can make an evaluation to see if the frame is in good repair and appropriately sized.
