Custom Framing Services
West Roxbury Framing has been serving Boston and the surrounding communities for over 40 years. From custom picture frames and shadow boxes to photo restoration and conservation framing — everything is built by hand in our West Roxbury shop.
What We Offer
Custom Picture Framing
Choose from hundreds of moulding profiles in wood, metal, and specialty finishes. Every frame is cut, joined, and assembled by hand in our West Roxbury shop to perfectly complement your artwork, photograph, or memorabilia. We handle everything from small 4×6 photos to oversized gallery pieces.
Custom Matting & Mat Cutting
Precision-cut mats in single, double, or triple layers to give your piece depth and visual impact. We carry acid-free and conservation-grade mat boards in hundreds of colors and textures to protect your art from deterioration and create a clean, finished presentation.
Mounting & Floating
Professional dry mounting, wet mounting, floating, and hinge mounting for prints, posters, photographs, and fine art on paper. We also build custom shadow boxes for three-dimensional objects like jerseys, medals, flags, and keepsakes — displayed exactly the way you envision.
Glass & Glazing Options
We offer a full range of glazing to suit every need and budget: premium clear glass, non-glare glass, UV-filtering conservation glass, anti-reflective museum glass, acrylic/Plexiglas, and Optium Museum Acrylic. UV protection helps preserve colors and prevent fading for decades.
Photo & Frame Restoration
Bring old, damaged, or faded photographs and frames back to life. We provide digital photo repair, antique photo restoration, frame refinishing, and structural repairs. Whether it's water damage, tears, foxing, or a broken frame — we can restore it to display-ready condition.
Canvas Stretching
Rolled or unstretched canvas paintings and prints stretched taut over custom-built wooden stretcher bars. We also re-stretch sagging or warped canvases and build gallery-wrap frames so your canvas can hang without a traditional frame.
Shadow Boxes & Acrylic Cases
Custom-built shadow boxes and acrylic display cases for sports jerseys, military memorabilia, wedding keepsakes, baby items, and collectibles. Sturdy construction with UV-protective glazing keeps your valuables safe while showing them off beautifully.
Insurance Repair & Replacement
Damaged art or frames from a move, flood, or accident? We work directly with insurance claims to repair or replace damaged framing. Bring in your piece for a free assessment — we'll provide an itemized estimate for your insurance provider.
Conservation & Museum Framing
Archival-quality framing for valuable artwork, antiques, diplomas, ketubahs, and documents. We use only acid-free materials, UV-filtering glazing, and reversible mounting techniques that meet museum conservation standards to protect your investment for generations.
Specialty Services
Mirror framing and tabletop glass, oval and circle-shaped frames and mats, custom engraved plaques and name tags, scanning and digital reproduction services, and rush same-day framing when you need it fast.
Budget-Friendly Framing
Quality custom framing doesn't have to break the bank. Our experts will work with you to find the best frame, mat, and glass combination that looks great and fits your budget. We also offer volume discounts for businesses and organizations.
