Super straightforward, helpful, and nice! They helped me frame some work for a show and did it pretty quickly. Looks awesome!!
I had a great experience here. I brought in a project involving framing and matting several photos together. I received excellent advice on spacing, color, and frames, which was a huge help. I also needed a fairly quick turnaround as it was a gift, and they were able to accommodate me with having it ready on my timeline (less than two weeks). It is a beautiful project and will be treasured for years to come. I would definitely come back here!
I came here to frame a signed Soccer Jersey from a previous club I played in, this was the first time ever doing something like this, so I wasn't sure how any of it worked, she was super helpful and guided me with picking options which wasn't exactly easy with an Orange colored jersey. I am very glad with my experience, how quickly it was done, and the final result!
(PS: I had been to a few places and this was by far the most reasonably priced.)
Wendy was wonderfully helpful. We negotiated to a price point and level of complexity that worked for my budget. I really appreciated her willingness to find a compromise, so we could work together.
We have used A to Z Art and Framing for years! Spencer is the best! They have the best selection of frames and mats! Most importantly, they have the best eye for the perfect way to frame your artwork! We cannot recommend them highly enough!
Highly recommend A to Z Art and Framing. They framed 4 postcards in a single frame that I gave to a family member as a Christmas present. It was beautifully done. And they were able to get it done quickly for me.
What a beautiful place for framing for arts from small to big sizes. Had a great experience with Thania, who was so knowledgeable and helped me to pick the best options. Highly recommend.
I should've left a review long ago. Very happy with the work I had done here. My partners mother made me a wonderful painting and really wanted to have it framed and was super happy with the work and price offered here! I will soon return for more framing!
The best in the business.
Best service ever
I needed to reframe a poster quickly in time and they were able to accommodate a quick turnaround. Friendly and the price was not crazy high, but acceptable give the current situation with everything taking forever and expensive due to supply chain issue and high demand in service in general. Will be coming back and hopefully won't close any time soon!
Low-key, nice selection. They are happy to help and try to save me money.
I've had several wonderful experiences working with Spencer and his staff. Pricing is excellent compared to other framing stores. This place is a gem!
I 100% recommend A to Z Art and Framing! I have now had 4 beautiful pieces framed by them (2 paintings and 2 chinoiserie custom painted wallpaper panels). They are extremely helpful, prompt and reasonably priced. They are now my go-to source for all custom framing!
Highly recommend this small gem of a place! Spencer took the time to help me on Christmas Eve and produced a beautifully framed picture! He was kind enough to work with me on the price and I will be back for additional pieces! Thank you again Spencer for a very high quality frame! Looks stunning.
A to Z Framing deserves nothing less than 5 stars! I recently had my husband’s old Navy uniform/medals/coins framed and it came out absolutely beautiful. Spencer was in great communication with me throughout the process and made sure I would have a piece that I loved. It was definitely expensive, but well worth every penny for this work of art. They helped me carry the frame to my car when I picked it up. I would absolutely recommend A to Z to anyone who needs something unique framed!
A to Z Framing provides great quality and pricing. The owner, Spencer, is extremely helpful and accommodating. We couldn’t be happier with the work!
Tanya was awesome! She was very helpful and patient as we worked through finding the perfect frame for my art piece. If you need beautiful, unique frames, or need a little more customization than some companies out there allow, this is the place to go!
I recently ordered two vintage airline prints online. I could not find any frames at the major retailers that would fit the prints as they happen to be an odd dimension (my mistake). I took the prints to A to Z and found them to be very helpful and fairly priced. I really like how the customs frames turned out too. I highly recommend!
Bountiful options to choose from. Staff is great and friendly. Will be returning to have more pieces framed and stretched. Thank you for doing an excellent job on the first three pieces.
I highly recommend using A to Z. Great options and quality at excellent prices. Spencer is always around to answer to any questions you may have and/or accommodate your requests.
Highly recommend A to Z Art and Framing to anyone in need of custom framing or art restoration. The customer service is phenomenal. Spencer is very kind and always looking forward to working with you. Tonya is amazing, collaborative, so knowledgeable, has a great eye and She does an incredible job. The whole team is trustworthy and take good care of your pieces from start to finish. Excellent pricing, the work is impeccable, and I could not be more pleased or satisfied with the results. Thank you so much! I will be back after this experience with the next items I need framed. David & Jose!!!
AtoZ did such a fantastic job on my frame. They helped me pick the right frame and matting. I’m no expert, so I truly appreciated their expert opinions. The materials they use are very nice. If you want great quality framing, I highly recommend them. It’s great to support businesses, now more than ever, and this is a place you can trust. I couldn’t be happier with how mine turned out. Thanks AtoZ!
Spencer is the greatest. Extremely knowledgeable and creative, he adds a flair to the work he does. He excels in offering complimentary ideas. Reasonable prices, great selections.
Really nice owners, with great service.
Spencer was professional and attentive and communicated very well. I am very happy with the result for our precious items. Thank you for handling and framing them with care! I will be back.
After fruitlessly searching for someone with skills to repair our irreplaceable thirty-year-old portrait of our youngest son, we found A to Z, and Spencer and Tanya. Other framers and art restorers in the DMV turned us away saying they would not be able to repair our moisture damaged and buckled Olan Mills portrait on canvas. Then we found Spencer. After a brief inspection, a very personable Spencer accepted our picture for repair and framing. He returned our oval family treasure to us "as good as new;" no, actually better than new. Our thanks to the A to Z team. If you have a framing or painting challenge, let Spencer take a look. He and Tanya put smiles on our faces.
I had a canvas painting 4'x5' and it had warped. Spencer re stretched it and framed it. He even picked it up and delivered it. Great job! Recommend highly.
A to Z is great for framing. Will spend over an hour with you to find just the right frame for your piece. Have done several custom items with them now and always amazed at the outcome.
I have brought at least 5 or 6 pictures for framing and gorgeous every time! They have always gone beyond to make the framing perfect to every detail!
5 stars! This place is absolutely amazing! Spencer and Tonya are both so kind, inviting and willing to work with you to do anything to make you happy. They completed my framing job with two certificates in one frame in only an hour and even gave me all of the highest quality products. I highly recommend them, not only for their timely service and great quality framing, but also for having the best prices in the area! Thank you A to Z framing!!
Spencer and his entire team at A-to-Z are top notch. They provide expert artistic guidance and labor, and their finished product is exceptional. They have framed several original works of art for us, and I recommend them without hesitation.
We found a Treasure - Spencer and Tanya at A to Z Framing. A jewel that we would like to share with all. We collected and saved our daughter's art work since childhood. I had no idea how to start to frame each piece. We happened to find this jewel of A to Z framing. Spencer's kindness, his willingness to do his best to bring out the particular art piece, his artistic knowledge and background and his sensitivity to understand what the customer is looking for and at what price range helped us go forward with the framing. Tanya always with a smile and her artistic instinct and a good artist's eye is a pleasure to work with. We truly appreciate this family at A to Z Framing and are indebted to them for all the beautiful art pieces they have made possible for us to have. Spencer andTanya work with the customer to make it happen. Thank you Spencer and Tanya
Spencer’s craftsmanship is amazing! Seven years ago, he mounted my African masks on boards, wrapped it with a micro suede material and framed it. I renovated my house so I will be bringing the masks back to be reworked.
I cannot say enough good things about Spencer (the owner) and the work he and his team did. After seeing my tile laundatoey reviews online, I called his shop on a Wednesday evening and by that Friday evening, my framing job was done and ready for pick up. Spencer is a true professional with an unbelievable eye for selecting the perfect combination of frame style and accompanying matting. I especially appreciated how quickly he was able to discern what I wanted and make suggestions without being overbearing or pushy. The finished product (a framed newspaper article) was even better than I imagined. Unparalleled customer service, I look forward to using A to Z for all my future framing needs.
I called several framers in the area before ultimately deciding to use A to Z. The owner, Spencer, is just amazing. The level of care and customer service that he displaced is paramount to none.
I called him a week before Christmas with my request, he said no problem, come on by. I then told him I'd have to take extra time off of work to make it during his business hours and he brushed that idea away and stayed late to meet with me, working around MY schedule. I was floored.
I got and find that I mistakenly had the print incorrectly printed (from a third party). He threw around ideas of what he could do to cover up the mistake (the print was laminated).
We decided on a game plan and a frame, at an EXTREMELY reasonable price and I picked it up several days later and am estactic with the outcome.
I don't care where I live in Maryland, from now on I'll make the trek to A to Z framing.
What a great shop. Looks a little disorganized when you get in but huge selection. I have been here in the past but completely forgot about it until my husband found them on Yelp and took us there. We needed two simple backing for our wedding photos to give our parents for Christmas. Spencer was great at making suggestions as to what colors looked best. While the backing was being made we chatted and he found out it was my birthday that my husband and I are newly married as well so he decided to give them to us as a gift! I doubt it would have cost more than $10 tops for both of them since they were small but still very generous. Great service, great craftsmanship. Would recommend regardless of the freebie.
6 stars. Spencer was incredibly helpful, humorous, and easy to work with. He helped with 2 simple matte frames and did it right on the spot, when we were expecting a few day turnaround. Highly recommended!
Great quality framing. Spencer was very helpful.
We searched all over the DMV to find a professional who could both restore a sentimental family painting and to also frame it. Spencer (the owner) remained open past the closing time of the business and went above and beyond to help us find the right matting, frame and to also talk through the restoration process. He also promised to deliver the picture, fully restored and framed, by the time we will be hosting a big family event in our home. I will update the review when we pick up the picture but so far this business has been outstanding and Spencer is a really personable and accommodating professional. I'd highly recommend turning your most sentimental treasures over to his capable hands.
Spencer is great. One of the only framers with an actual eye for art. Worth the premium.
What a straight up honest business man. He is very trustworthy and his staff is as kind as can be. The finished product is amazing thank you guys.
Highly recommend due to great pricing, quality, frame options, and customer service. Was looking for a basic black frame with UV/sun-blocking glass for a very delicate painting on cloth material.
Customer Service: The lady at the register understood our needs and budget and kept her suggestions aligned with them. She gave us mounting recommendations to ensure the cloth lays neatly within the frame without creasing. Although Owner Spencer isn't at the store, phone calls go directly to him, so he assured me 4 days prior to pick-up date that the piece will be ready when I called to check its progress. On pick-up date I wasn't able to pick up by closing time, so he tried to see if an employee could go to the store just for me. The next day the lady at the store stayed 5 minutes late for me since I let her know it's an hour drive from my work and I'm running late. They seem to go out their way to ensure customer satisfaction.
Pricing: We were given a great discount. Furthermore, the price was half of Michael Arts' price.
Quality: Piece looks amazing!
Suggestion: Store closes at 6pm. A later time, even 7pm, would help for customers that have work that ends late or is long distance.
Amazing customer service and excellent pricing as well. Awesome quality.
Great customer service. The owner is awesome and the staff is friendly. I'm lucky I used their art framing services.
My wife and I had great experiences with Spencer and his team. He framed multiple college diplomas for us and our families, and all were quality. Spencer even did a nice job of suggesting mattes and frames that accentuated the diplomas and the university colors.
I also had a friend who used A to Z framing to gift us our wedding invitation, and they did an outstanding job - the gold frame and pink matte were perfect and matched our wedding theme nicely.
Pricing is fair and I'm all about supporting local businesses compared to an AC Moore or Michael's. We'll definitely be returning customers!
I'm very happy with this shop. I had purchased a pricey, but personally autographed, reproduction canvas over the weekend and, after hanging it on my wall, decided it really needed a frame. After doing some initial pricing at AC Moore's and Michael's, I went to A To Z. Although I had something in mind, it was not too busy so Spencer was able to spend time with me looking at the various options. We ended up going with what I had originally envisioned. Spencer gave me a discounted price and it came to approximately $10 more than AC Moore's, BUT he did it immediately. Both AC Moore's and Michael's estimated a 2 to 3 week wait time. A To Z turned it around in 2 hours and it's just what I had asked for!
I am very happy with my final result. I had a very cool limited edition serigraph by Agam called "Magic Rainbow". The piece was really big measuring 48X40 unframed.
I arrived to the store after work towards the closing time. We spent a long time choosing the right frame and the matting. After everything was selected I paid and left. When I came to pick up my piece I noticed that the glass had a lot of glare and since it was going into a really sunny room it was not the right choice for me. I called the owner and he upgraded my glass to a non glare conservation glass at no extra cost. Moreover since the piece was over-sized it would not fit inside my sedan, the owner offered to deliver the piece at no extra cost and even helped my husband put it up on the wall. My favorite piece looks great! I am very happy. No-one is perfect but it's how the problem was handled won me over.
This place is amazing! I had a hole-in-one golf shadow box made and was astonished by how great it looked upon picking it up. The owner was incredibly friendly and gave me an amazing discount. I could not have had this done for a better price anywhere- especially with this attention to detail (even Michael's craftstore was considerably more expensive) I also needed it for a birthday gift and they went above and beyond and had it done for me in less than 24 hours. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat and will certainly be going back myself. You will not be disappointed!!
Framing: not cheap, but very high quality. The art gift I had framed now looks quite stunning with a dark chestnut frame. Spencer spent an entire hour helping me when I initally went in - we looked at many different frame options. If you have original art that's important to you, and wish to have it expertly framed, A TO Z "Spencer " is a great choice!
I found out about this business through a val-pak coupon mailer. The staff seemed very competent and helped me choose nice, yet affordable frames. I was really pleased with the paintings I had framed. The hours of operation are not listed on the window, so it was hard to know when I could come back to pick it up. I don't have a car so a friend gave me a ride to pick up for 4 pieces from 2 orders. Two pieces from my original order were not ready (it was a few days past the 2 week date that was promised). I explained to the gentleman I didn't have to a car to get back until the weekend, he offered to drop off the unfinished pieces when they were done. That evening he dropped off the items, which was a big help!! There work looks great and they have a huge selection. The gentleman gave me ideas for framing things from my wedding. I just caution you to call before picking up the items.
This place is amazing! I had a hole-in-one shadow box made and was literally astonished by how great it looked- especially for the price I paid. The owner was incredibly friendly and gave me an amazing discount. I could not have had this done for a better price anywhere else- especially with this attention to detail. I also needed it right away for a birthday gift and they went above and beyond and had it done for me in less than 24 hours. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat and would completely ignore the negative reviews- you will not be disappointed here!
Just finished custom framing our ketubah here. Price was more than fair, though all the discounts come out to about the same place, and the owner is straightforward in offering his discount even without a coupon. The guidance picking the frame and glass and matt were professional and talented. The work was skillful, and they rushed the sealing process while we waited for our convenience. Besides, the owner is a delightful and funny character.
The owner Spencer is extremely creative and talented. He has chosen many beautiful frames for me over the years. I have also sent many friends and they have been pleased with the results. He's got a great eye, hugh selection, all customized. Always seems to guide you to the right choice, with fair pricing. On a side note he has helped with some charitable events as well, and generously donated his services. I continue to go back.
Just got another painting (of beautiful New Orleans) framed. I won't reveal my discount amount because it was truly beyond fair on Spencer's part. The triple mat and rustic frame fits so well I don't want to even recall what the painting looked like without the gorgeous framework. Once again, Spencer patiently went through a slew of colors, arrangements, and styles to my liking as well as politely offering me suggestions of what works well.
Now I just want to pour a glass of wine and stare. This made my day! Note: I am not an art connoisseur or aspire to be one but I do know what I like. And A to Z will guide you along every step of the way.
A to Z is amazing! It's inexpensive, but you're getting handcrafted frames and really personalized attention and detail to the job. I had three photos framed for family for gifts and Spencer Zarin the owner asked me about each individual, their style and taste, and he worked out the best layout, mat and frame for each. I have never received such incredible, wonderful attention anywhere, and was blown away by the craftsmanship! Worth every penny! When you first walk in it's a little overwhelming, but just breathe, they want you there and they will blow your mind! I would absolutely go back!
They are great !!! 🙂
We had 6 hockey and football jerseys to frame for our office. They did an excellent job; it took a couple of weeks, but the workmanship was great!!
We’ve been going to A to Z for now about 2.5 years !!! in this time, they had done over 38 framing from certificate to ribbon cutting giant scissors!!!
Thank you Spencer!!
I came in with 2 pieces that I've been holding on to for a while because I know how expensive framing can be. Between the living social and extra discounts, Spencer really gave me a great deal.
He really thought about which frames went best with my pieces and listened to my feedback when something he suggested didn't fit my style. They did a really beautiful job on both, I definitely recommend.
I have been really happy using A to Z in the past. When they had a Living Social and then a Groupon, I jumped to buy one so I could get even more of a discount. The pricing is fair, the owner is experienced and friendly.
