I am very pleased by Freds beautiful framing of my poster from Monets Garden in France. I gasped in delight when I saw the finished job! It is so gorgeous and perfect!Fred did a very professional framing job at a price within my budget. I am immensely pleased and I will definitely visit him for more framing work in the future! I am delighted I shopped locally in Punta Gorda for a frame shop!Fred has a wonderful caring attitude and listened carefully to what my needs were. Then he showed me many possibilities of frames which might work for me. We discussed in-depth the positives and negatives of each. I couldnt be happier with Freds framing and I urge you to meet Fred and see for yourself!

We had a fabulous experience with this business. Fred has a real eye for color and design and made great recommendations on types and colors of frames. The order was done in less time than estimated and we are so very pleased with the outcome. We had two pictures framed and will definitely return with more business. Highly recommend. Fred is great to work with.

We had a large painting on plywood that we wanted to frame. Fred was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of both glass and framing we needed to use for the best results. The end product turned out fantastic! Could not be happier! Highly recommend Framing by Fred for any framing work.

Fred framed up some sailboat blueprints for me. His knowledge and detail was awesome and solved a lot of my indecisiveness. He helped me pick out an appropriate frame, delivered on the project rapidly, and was a GREAT value. The quality of workmanship was tip-top and the project came out far better than anticipated. He even took the time to save the blueprint labels and mounted them on the reverse side of the piece. I highly suggest his business to those seeking a skilled and quality craftsman with a good personality.

Found Fred by Google reviews and boy they weren’t lying. He did an amazing job for us on a large piece that needed work. He was incredibly helpful in our choice for the new framing. I can’t believe how good it turned out. I highly recommend him to anyone with framing needs. He knows his stuff. Fred, I’ll be back with more work for you. Thanks for a wonderful job.

After shooting several hundred sunset photos, I picked my 4 favorites to be framed. Next, I needed to find a good framing shop and stopped by “Framing by Fred”.Fred took time to help us choose the color of the mats, reviewed several frame options, and explained the differences in printing paper as well as glass options. My wife and I never imagined that the framing choices would have such a dramatic impact on the final artwork.I learned that Fred has over 30 years of experience teaching woodworking and it was clearly reflected in his craftsmanship. Most important, he takes a great amount of pride in his work. Fred has earned our very highest recommendation.

I am very pleased with the picture that I just had reframed. Fred improved the quality of the picture by just changing the glass and adding a new frame. Fred is very personable and a delight to work with. I really like his dog Moose!

New to the area with 3 antique prints needing mats and frames, a Google search led me to Fred. Before meeting Fred, his assistant spent a good 2 hours with me discussing my options and selecting mats and frames; she was very patient. At my second visit to finalize the order, I met Fred and he helped me to understand the importance of preserving my antique prints. He worked off the choices made on my first visit and made the end result spectacular. Thank you Fred!

I was very impressed with the excellent customer service I received. I had dropped and broke the glass and plastic frame on one of two matching pictures. Fred patiently worked on putting it all back together while I waited. Looks great!

I have had several things framed over the years, but my experience with Framing by Fred exceeds any other frame projects I have had in the past. Fred does exceptional work, and knows what type of frames, matting, etc. that will make your artwork pop. I wont go anywhere else for framing again. Fred is a heck of a good guy too. Thank you Fred!

We stopped in yesterday to see about replacing the glass that had broken on one of our framed art pieces. It was our first time in the store. Fred was so nice and accommodating. He replaced the glass for us on the spot and even fixed some the framing where it wasnt done quite right by the person who framed it for us up north. Fred does excellent work, hes fast and friendly. If you need any framing you cant go wrong with Fred. Strongly recommended!

I bought a beautiful large piece of Art I needed framed.I took it to Fred with the question could you get this framed before I head North in one week?He said yes The mats and frame were special order and he was at the mercy of getting them in time.He received them later than expected but still finished the job.I noticed after getting it home the inside mat was off a bit and and the glass appeared scratched.I called Fred and he said Do not worry when you come back in 3 months I will make it right.Fred is a man of his word. It was corrected and it is stunning!Do not hesitate to use Fred and trust him with any special Art you need framed.I am happy to have met him and will continue to be a customer.

I created an heirloom-quality needlework wedding picture that was to be a wedding gift for my son and his new bride. Fred at Framing by Fred did a phenomenal job blocking and framing this round needlework project, and with loving care, Fred made the final results more beautiful than my wildest dreams. Fred is a real framing master with the expert eye of a true artist. I am blown away at the results and will definitely use Framing by Fred in the future!

Sandy and I brought Fred a large (4ft. x 8ft.) plexiglass picture that was cracked and partially broken. He not only meticulously repaired it, but was able frame the picture to perfection. Fred obviously can frame not only the regular sized pictures but the oversized ones as well. Excellent work.

What do you do with a special print that you want to showcase in your home?On a friends recommendation, we went to Framing By Fred in Punta Gorda, Florida.Since we were new to this process, our hope was to make the right decisions on framing and mattings to highlight an outstanding print by Marcus C. Thomas, “Shellbirds.” What we didn’t expect was to have fun in the process. Fred is very patient and enthusiastic about art. Unlike us, who had trouble visualizing the finished product, he could see it all coming together offering a variety of options to create the right ‘feeling’ to fit into our home. He was very patient during our indecisions while introducing color combinations and textures that we never would have selected on our own. When he called us a day later to say that it was done, we were shocked! Now, with guarded emotions, we went to the shop where he positioned the print just inside the door. We were amazed. Although we agreed to his recommendations, we couldn’t picture the end product. We were thrilled. It was exceptional! Needless to say, we are very happy customers and would recommend him for any type of framing job you may have.Thank you Fred.
