“Let me build a home for your valued items”
“Cheap frames are not quality; Quality frames are not cheap”
“There is nothing made, sold, or done that can't be made, sold, or done cheaper. If price is your only concern, please do business with my competitor."
When dealing with MedalFraming.ca / Framed By Design, Ltd. you get:
1) Me – through the entire process (I’m a one man operation – you will not get lost in the shuffle of a large factory framer)
2) Quality – attention to detail and client care and not a Customer Service department. This is my business and has been my life for 20 years. As such my clients matter to me as this is my business and my name
3) Fair pricing – but this is not a factory framing corporation. I’m not out to build the cheapest quickest frame –I want to build quality, custom frames for clients that appreciate them.

Yes, but its just a small showroom to keep costs low. I have a beautiful custom workshop located just outside Woodstock where all production takes place. Click here to visit our Contact Us Page.
This depends on quantity of items being framed and the time required by an order.

On top of this we strive to keep costs down in order to pass the savings on to our clients.

As I’m concentrating on custom hand built work and keeping my overhead and client’s costs down I’m not available like a factory framing operation. I appreciate it is a different setup but your items deserve to be built properly and not used as a way to pay exorbitant overhead.
