Therieau Art and Frame

Fantastic experience. We’ve had several large vintage posters framed here. We keep going back for incredible service, quality framing and a great staff. We love Paul and his team! Highly recommend they get your business!

We brought in our giclee style Canvas to be stretched that we had bought on vacation in Hawaii. The first time the canvas was stretched we noticed that it was a bit wavy but gave it a few weeks to flatten out. Unfortunately it stayed a bit wavy so we called and were told to bring it in to be re-​stretched. It turned out that we had gotten a low-​quality canvas, and the owner Paul recommended that we contact the gallery and have them replace the canvas. He told us exactly what we should say to the canvas to make sure that the gallery would replace it. After some back and forth with the gallery they agreed to send us a new print. Paul sent multiple emails back and forth with the gallery, shipped the original canvas back to Hawaii, and fronted the shipping cost. When the new canvas came in it turned out that the artist had signed the print number right where the canvas was going to be stretched so it got cut off. Again Paul advised us to ask for a replacement from the gallery even though I’m sure he just wanted to be finished with the process. Again, Paul fronted the money to pack and ship the item back to Hawaii, and did a beautiful job stretching the canvas when a suitable one finally arrived. We chose Therieau Art and Frame because they were the most reasonably priced frame shop in our neighborhood. They not only did a great job stretching our canvas, but truly went above and beyond to correct mistakes that they had nothing to do with. We will definitely go back with any framing needs in the future.

I brought in a canvas print to get framed. I was quite happy when the woman working there knew my painting was from Ghostbusters 2, I knew it was in good hands. They were very helpful in finding the best frame while also considering I didn’t want to spend too much on the frame but get something that looked fitting for the painting. They stretched and mounted the canvas then framed in about two weeks. It’s pretty light for its size and looks perfect. I’m definitely going to use them again. It also helps that parking is pretty easy to find around them.

i came in with an easy repair (broken glass), and they did a nice job repairing it. it was done sooner than they said, and the cost was under what i was hoping. friendly, as well.
i wish i had more business to give them.

I called up Therieau with a few odd requests I tried to get taken care of at a few other frame shops. The owner (Paul) talked to me and said he liked a good challenge and to bring it by. He fixed a shadow box, re-​framed a jersey, re-​matted a water stained painting, fix a frame, and made a special stand off for a triptych. Some of these pieces no one else would touch or they didn’t know how to do. They even included hangers with every piece.
In all we’ve had at least 16 pieces framed or fixed. They understood our budget and found frames that worked. The experience was totally laid back, there was never an up-​sell, and everyone who works there is just a generally laid back nice person. I plan on referring and doing business with them for years to come.
If you are looking for someone to frame anything, I recommend you stop in.

I stopped by here after I had put together a print, mat and frame but forgot to purchase wire to be able to hang it. When I walked in, I was greeted right away by two very friendly staff members who said if I brought in the picture, they would put the wire on for free! I was more than surprised but thrilled that would do this for me without any purchase. I’ll definitely be bringing my business here and recommended their shop to friends.

These people were a pleasure to deal with. I went in with a piece of original art and a print and had no idea what I wanted and they were great about guiding me and giving me ideas of different mats and frames. I also thought for the level of service the pricing was very fair. Sometimes big box stores like Michael’s and JoAnn’s can seem cheaper because of their 50% off coupons but I’m starting to think they just hike the prices up there first because this seemed comparable to what I’ve spent there AFTER the coupon and with much more competent service. Highly recommended!

I have been going to see Paul (the owner) for over ten years. I like to have wedding invitations framed as a gift. I won’t get my framing done anywhere else! He and his staff have always given me the best advice and they can cater their artistic eyes to any style. I get the BEST service and I trust that my framing will be in great hands. Paul has even fixed (for free) a framed invitation when my friend had a pipe burst and got water damage on the matting. My husband has also taken things to Paul to frame for me as a gift. I highly recommend this studio for any framing needs!

What a delightful oasis of care and intelligence and attention to beauty – I will definitely return for all future framing needs. Paul does such a great job! He listens to your requests and provides the perfect advice when solicited and is so experienced, knowledgeable, and talented that it would be silly not to get his advice. His prices are reasonable, as is his turnaround time. The location is central and convenient, with plenty of parking options, and the store itself is lovely and just fun to stop by. Highly recommend. A really wonderful place.

Paul Therieau does excellent work. My father was a framer and taught me a lot about the craft, and I am very particular with respect to materials, finishes, mats, bevels, and so forth. Until I found Therieau Art and Frame, I’d had difficulty finding a framing service I was satisfied with. I have been very happy to discover that Paul is very sensitive to all of the finer points of framing I’m concerned with. He is skilled and has a sophisticated aesthetic. He also has a range of lovely materials available. I’m extremely pleased with the work he has done for me and will be returning to his shop soon to have further framing work done. The new location on N Lincoln Avenue is in a gorgeous space, very simply and beautifully appointed; previously his shop was on Southport. Highly recommended.
