So happy I decided to get my poster framed here. John is a true professional, and knows his craft!

BIG PROPS to John at Stoutboy in Claremont. This piece was in trouble. Canvas exposed to the elements and was warping from a bad mounting job.John gave it a new backing, glassed it to flatten it out and affixed it with a beaded black frame that really made the image pop. Super happy, and I highly recommend.

Came in two years ago to get a poster framed. The frame has continued to look as it did the day I picked it up, through 2 different moves now. I just purchased another poster and was thinking, "Gotta get to Stoutboy to frame this". Can't believe I never left a review. Looking forward to visiting soon.

I only have stuff framed and matted at Stout Boy. Why you Ask? John is absolutely great at what he does. He does everything himself and it's always perfect.

We have a business in downtown Claremont and John has framed several of our movie posters and done an excellent job. We appreciate his conversation and customer service.

John really knows what he's doing. Always a great eye, good taste, and, a good complement to your item. I wish only that he himself still made custom frames. Over the years, he's framed or mounted so many items for me, weird and beautiful and funny, and made each one look right. I wanted to post some photos, but Yelp is making it too hard. If I had been able to upload them you would have seen an inkbrush painting, framed in rosewood (which John helped me choose), that brings out the red details. I found the piece at Pilgrim Place, $20. The other photo is of cherries on postcards that we found in France, maybe 25 cents each. John matted them so that they look great and sit well-proportioned to each other.

John is a gifted craftsman, you will not be disappointed in choosing to come to Stoutboy. He has a keen eye for what you may be looking for in framing your art or posters etc. He is fair timely and is literally the best in town, I have had 6 framing jobs for him and will continue to bring more.

This is the place to take your framing jobs. DO NOT bring your art or etc to the big chain outfit... It took me a while to figure that out. The quality of work and materials at Stoutboy is absolutely top notch, the prices will blow you away (if you're used to big box prices) and John is very cool dude.

Framing is John’s trade. He is a true craftsman and it shows from start to finish. Wish more humans put so much soul into what they do. Great prices for quality product, can’t ask for much more, but somehow you do get more. Fantastic:)

I am so glad that I turned to Yelp to find a good framing shop. Stoutboy is AMAZING! John is super cool and seriously skilled. And the price? Fugetaboutit. I had used a certain big crafts store for years not really aware of their huge price mark-up (but unfortunately used to their uneven quality and unreliable scheduling). Stoutboy is a small shop where the customer definitely gets their money's worth and more. If you're within driving distance, bring your framing work here. You'll be pleased.

John is simply the best, very cool shop, and great work at very fair prices. We have been customers here over 30 years, now live out of town, but travel now to still take all our framing work here. It's great to hang out in the Claremont village too

It's hard to find local framing store these days, and I'm so happy I found Stoutboy! I had a few items I needed to get framed, and John was a pleasure to work with. John was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he showed me some different options and gave me some suggestions on how to best frame each item. His prices were great, and the finished products turned out beautifully. It's amazing how much a good frame can really bring out the best in a photo, artwork or document. I will definitely be back to frame more stuff!

This place is so great, John will help you pick the perfect frame and he doesn't overcharge. He's also a really nice guy to talk to, a few times I've ended spending an hour in the place chatting about travels and music. I'm just sad that I've run out of stuff that needs framing!
