Frequently Asked Questions

We start by looking at your art and establishing your taste. What you like, what you don't like, and whether or not your art will need a special glass type, mounting type, etc. Once we gather a general idea of your wants and needs, the fun can begin!

We will show you many different options that we think will make your art look its best. We make sure to show a variety of differently priced options to give you a range of style and affordability. We listen to your opinions and concerns and answer your questions as honestly as we can. Once we have settled on a design that you like, we price that up and let you know the cost.  

Don't worry if the cost comes out to more than you expected. We will go back and look at other options that may be more affordable for you. 

After the design and cost is established, we will then take your info for the order as well as a payment of at least 50% of the final total.

There are a lot of factors that go into pricing for framing. One thing to keep in mind is how important the art is to you. Full preservation framing is more costly but will be the best choice for a valuable or very sentimental piece of art, whereas a poster you bought for $10 does not necessarily need the Cadillac of picture frames. Another factor is size. If your art is very large, that may be reflected in cost. Also, any project that requires more work like a jersey or framed object, will have a higher price tag than a basic photograph. A good place to start would be the frugal framing options. These are our least expensive options but are a good indicator of a true base cost for any job.

Tentatively... yes. We have framed a variety of unusual objects here at Miter Biter.  Baseball bats, footballs, shirts, toy guns, pieces of the Berlin wall, pocket watches... the list is long. Your best bet is to bring the object in for us to look at so we can brainstorm ideas. That way we can go over all the options for design and stability. We really love strange and unusual projects so don't be shy!

About one to two weeks under normal circumstances.

We accept all forms of U.S. currency and personal checks as well as all major credit or debit cards.

Unfortunately no. Due to limited space we have a cap on the largest things we can frame. We are always willing to recommend another local framer if we cannot help you. It is very rare though that we see art that is too big for us to handle, so if you are concerned then you can bring the piece in for us to measure.

Our framing corners and mat samples may seem large when compared to the size of your hand BUT when choosing a frame, we always keep the proportions of the art in mind. Frames look much narrower when built out to their actual size. Another thing to keep in mind is the strength of the frame, especially if your artwork is on the larger side. A frame that is too small for your art could not only look bad, but could also be unsafe to hang in your home.

We guarantee all the work we do and will work with you to find a frame that suits your art perfectly, but we also will offer our own opinion on the frame to help you get the perfect piece for your home. If you bring in a piece art in and want colors for the mat and frame that clash, we will suggest other options to make your art shine. But if you still want the mat and frame that clash, then the guarantee on our work no longer applies. We only want to put out work that we are proud of and you'd be proud to own. All of us at Miter Biter have many years of design and skill in our industry and we want that to show in all the work we do. But that doesn't mean we don't want you to be happy either! If you are ever dissatisfied then let us know and we can try and come up with a solution to your problem.

An archival board used as both a decorative accent as well as a way to protect your art from being right against the glass.

Another tentative yes. We can fix some frames but it all depends on the type of damage and the material of the broken frame. When in doubt, bring it in for us to look at.

The same answer from above applies. Bring it in and we can determine whether we can replace your old glass.

It is not a service we offer but there have been a few instances where we have needed to.

We have needed to a few times, but again it is not a service we offer. We like to recommend using an actual shipping company, that way you can get insurance if your frame is damaged in the post.
