Gesso & Bole Picture Framing

I recently gave Michael a number of pieces to frame including an over sized Obey print (pictured) and he did a fantastic job. His craftsmanship was excellent, his knowledge of/and access to materials was top notch. Framing turn around was quick, professional and prices were more than reasonable. I'll certainly bring more work back to get framed.

Michael does an amazing job fabricating custom floater frames for me based on every little spec... material, finish, depth of artwork, desired profile & reveal. I love that I can simply drop my piece in and not have to worry about raising the artwork up, or having a frame that is too deep. Customer service is important to him, and he has gone out of his way to get my frames to me quickly. Highly recommend him.

I made a piece of art that I was gifting to a good friend and I needed to frame it. I had always felt that framing was expensive and convoluted until I came across this site. Not only is their site user friendly, the quality of their work is beyond outstanding. The customer care is literally bend over backwards" to cater for your needs. I ordered my custom frame sometime at the end of November last year

Premium quality solid cherry frame for a very large canvas. Michael was great to work with, answering all my questions and providing great suggestions. Assembly was seamless. I would not hesitate for a second to order from this company again. And, a local Canadian company an absolute bonus!

We were so happy to work with Michael to conserve and frame our family heirloom. Michael treated the delicate textile with delicacy and the frame he built, complemented it beautifully. It was not an easy item to work with but Michael’s craftsmanship showcased it at its best. A real masterpiece.

The experience of working with Michael was a very rewarding one. He was so authentic and kind when I originally reached out to him about needing an art piece framed, and even more so in person. I had reached out to many places in Ottawa but was getting quoted for 400 plus dollars for framing, and being a student and on a budget that was not something I could afford. Michael not only helped me in getting my art piece framed within a price point I could afford, but he also made sure it was exactly what I wanted, simple and clean. I will definitely be going back to him in the future as he is 100% skilled and gifted in his craft, and he is also a warm and wonderful person who cares about his clients and his work.-Thank you Michael for doing such a beautiful job framing a piece of family art.-

Michael went above and beyond for us. Really appreciate his neighbourly kindness!

Michael's work is absolutely superb. I was thrilled not only with his craftsmanship, but also his customer engagement to ensure the final product was exactly what I was looking for. He applies his technical skill, but also his experienced creative eye to each design, so I know this frame is entirely custom, and made to elevate my specific piece of art. I will definitely return!

I needed a canvas print stretched. I was calling around for quotes. Michael had a competitive price I was very happy with the quality of his work and it was done much faster than the other companies were quoting. He was very quick on his communication. 100% covid safe. I’m very pleased with the service and would highly recommend!

I was glad to find Michael to do frame my antique map. His previous experience in British museum and handling of historical pieces made me confident that the would be done to the highest standard. It was a pleasure working with Michael: he was attentive to my needs and offered sensible options. I am extremely satisfied with the end result and will return to Gesso & Bole for my future framing needs.
