Hands down the best frames you can get in the DMV: skill, options, and price. I worked in fine art production in NYC for a decade and the frames I picked up last week rival the frames we had custom built for museums and gallery shows in NYC. I wish I could get all the work I had framed at OTHER DMV frame shops re-framed by FBR because the quality is so much better.

Around 2005 I bought an artwork on Mylar by Linn Meyers that required special mounting and framing. On Linn's recommendation I took the work to Frames by Rebecca and was satisfied with the result until months later when the Mylar came loose from its mounting material. Rebecca (in person in those days) immediately apologized and redid the framing job, explaining the solution they'd figured out. No charge, of course. More than 15 years later the framed work is still beautiful and the framing job remains rock-solid.

Without a doubt the best framers in the D.C. area. Their friendly staff do museum quality work at a very fair price. I live in NYC, (which has no shortage of fine framers), but I get my framing done here at less than half the cost of New York shops with absolutely no compromise in quality.

This place was fantastic when the original Rebecca of "Frames by Rebecca" owned and managed it. She sold the business a few years back, and while the new owners are pleasant and seem willing to try to make their customers happy, each job I've given them ended up with some error in them. In one case the framer promised to make a photocopy of the back of the artwork (it had some information written on it) and attach the copy to the back of the framed piece. He wrote the instruction on the order form, but whoever made the frame neglected to follow it, and now that information is lost, unless I have the frame disassembled. In another case, I brought in two pieces, and the assistant attached the supplementary info from Piece A to the back of Piece B. These things never happened when Rebecca ran the shop.

I usually go through 40-50 frames a year, and while I try as much as possible to use my own guerrilla tactics to minimize framing costs, which as visual artists know can be pretty expensive, every once in a while we all need a custom made frame. This is a great, professional, efficient and friendly framer. That counts! I have been immensely impressed not only by the high quality of their work, but also by how they respond quickly and efficiently - recently a 1980 work of mine from the Cuba Series entered the process of being donated to a museum, and the donor (a) wanted it professionally cleaned and (b) reframed, as the original 1980 frame had received multiple injuries during the last 40 plus years. Time was an issue, but I emailed Frames by Rebecca, gave them a description of what kind of moulding I wanted, and the size, and the fact that there was an urgent need to have the frame done in a couple of days. As we say in the Navy, they "turned and burned", created the frame, and now the painting will be on its way to Miami on Friday. Please support your local framer and go see them - I give them my highest possible endorsement!

Been going for decades. Rebeccas is no longer there but one of her former crew, Ken took over. They are just as professional and fabulouse as ever. Would never go anyplace else. Would give 10 ?

You can't get better museum-quality framing in this area. Ken and staff are knowledgeable, and their expertise is unmatched. They have framed about 70 art works for me, and I'm thrilled with the results.
