Applegate Gallery & Custom Framing Reviews

What a fabulous experience! It was so wonderfully easy to bring in my family portrait and offered so many different frames and mattes and in less than 2 weeks have a beautiful frame picture hanging in my family room. It is so wonderful to rely on a professional to help me and always get a wonderful end result! Highly recommend!

Amazing framing! I have been using Applegate Gallery and Custom Framing for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. All the pictures/artwork I have had framed here have turned out brilliantly. I cannot recommend this place enough. Sara takes the time to make recommendations and truly cares how each job turns out. She also has the best frames.

I had Sara at Applegate perform a framing job of 3 matching large posters in 3 custom frames with custom mats. She was very responsive in setting up an appointment to meet with her, and the work she performed was outstanding! I am extraordinarily happy to have the pieces up in my kitchen where I see them every day. I always get compliments by new guests, and I look forward to displaying the pieces for years!

Sara is fabulous!!! She is so creative with her suggestions for framing. She has even framed two 125 year-old stained glass windows from the church from my childhood that was 6 ft by 3 ft. Sara brings ideas into the framing that I had never thought of! Sara is my Framer of Choice!!

I've been working with framer Sara Applegate on my various framing projects for over a decade now. I highly recommend Applegate for custom framing. They have an incredible selection of quality frames that enable you to really find the perfect frame for each piece of art. In addition, Sara's design expertise is invaluable in helping to pick appropriate matting to enhance features inherent in the artwork.

They were upfront about the timing and cost and they did a good job in a short amount of time.

I don't go anywhere else to get my framing done. Phenomenal job, every single time. Sara was able to turn around a frame with a major rush time line and everything was just pristine!

As the wife of a highly talented and prolific artist i have used many framing venues. None come close to the combination of skill, talent and services offered at Applegate Framing.

Sara is wonderful to work with and cares deeply about the details. And she has your order done in a timely manner! A huge boon for me is her ability to scan art for future giclee prints. She simply makes it easy to meet all my needs in one place.

When you need that special piece framed, Applegate is the place to go. You will be very glad you did!

I have had the pleasure of working with Sara for many years. All of my various art work has been framed by Sara. Her framing always adds to the piece of art. Her suggestions of what would enhance the piece are always spot on. Sara is my go to for framing

I've purchased pieces that Sarah hung in her first framing shop in Oakton, Va, possibly a decade ago. She frames pieces from other local artists that I also own and she's done 10 framing and matting jobs for me of art I've purchased along the way in life. I trust her and she does beautiful work.

I used Applegate several times over the past few years for custom frames and I've been pleased every time. The ability to quickly discern the best style and color of frame is just amazing. We've ended up getting things I wouldn't have initially picked myself but look better than I could have imagined. That's why you work with a professional.
