17th Avenue Framing

If you are trying to find a frame that lasts I highly recommend shopping here. They have a great selection of readymade frames! I got a floater frame for a discounted price and the owner was kind enough to help me out with installing a canvas even though I was on a time crunch! The staff is very friendly.

Young, upbeat and helpful staff with solid knowledge and excellent suggestions. Generous selection and excellent craftsmanship. Our project was in a tight deadline and another framing shop could not guarantee that they could complete it on time but 17th Avenue Framing did... with time to spare! Very happy with the outcome and would use them again!

I have been getting my artwork matted and framed here for 6 years now, and for a very good reason. The work is very professionally done and I can count on the staff for excellent advice. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get their artwork matted and framed.

I brought in two pieces of papyrus art and they were so help in finding the right back and frame, they did a wonderful job and I would recommend them.

They saved my life, had a rush job I needed done on a Wednesday morning. Went in and they were kind, thoughtful, made great suggestions and were able to fill my request quickly and very professional. And the result was beautiful. Thank you, forever grateful.

Can't say enough about all the great help we received from a young lady named Allison, she was so helpful, knowledgeable and energetic. If only we could get that kind of customer service everywhere. If you have any special memory you need framed this is the place

Very informative and attentive staff. I had no idea what considerations went into framing a canvas print, but the staff at 17th Avenue Framing explained the entire process and then helped me pick out the perfect frame for the print and made sure it would compliment the design of our home. I chose a frame that they told me would have a slightly longer turn around time as it had to be brought into the shop, but they we’re able to get the finished product to me ahead of schedule. Amazing attention to detail and customer service. They’ll be our go to framing shop from now on.

On time, the selection of matt recommended made it stand out! Wrapped to protect it from the rain and included hooks. Wow!

I am a 15 year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces. I brought in my medals and patches to get framed. I called around Calgary and was recommended to go to 17th Ave Framing. When I dropped off my items to be mounted, I discussed with x 2 employees. We came up with a basic setup, picked the type of frame, glass and took photos. I made it very clear twice that if they can clean up my patches, which have small threads sticking up from natural wear and tear. They both said no worries, they will do it before they mount it. I also asked them to allow me to open the back after so I can remove my medals for Remembrance day ceremonies down the road. They also said no worries, they do this alot. It was 2 weeks before they called and I went to pick it up. I was quite excited to see it. The total cost was 430$ for a very basic 2 x 3 ft mounting and framing. I figured do this once and do it right, happy to pay the professionals what they are worth.When I showed up, everything looked great, except it was obvious the framer didn't clean up the small threads on the patches. I kept things professional and pointed it out to the employee (the two ladies who took my order weren't working that day). Then another senior employee/manager showed up too. He suggested that I take it home and open it myself to clean up the thread". He also suggested that if they cut it the whole thing might unravel. That's absolutely not true. I was quite disappointed
