Home /  Custom Framing

Step 1: Come In!

Visit our store in East Greenwich, RI with your artwork, object, or design idea in-hand! A framer will come assist you at the front desk (pictured here).

A framer will typically ask you to fill out a contact form for us if you are a new customer. This is so we can let you know when your frame is done or ask any additional questions if necessary.

Step 2: Plan

Head over to the design table! This is where you discuss your vision for your project. We have multiple doors worth of frames to work with-- and no, you don't have to go through them all!

Discussing your plans with a framer allows them to narrow down the selection to be more manageable. We never rush our customers at this stage, because setting a good foundation allows for a successful outcome!

Step 3: Narrow down Options

Once you've been introduced to the styles that fit your project best it's time to decide! Our framers will be transparent and patient through this step, focusing on what will work for you.

YOU Choose:

  • The Frame
  • The Mat
  • The Glass
  • The Budget

WE Choose:

  • The Best fit for your Budget
  • Options that Wow-You (along with safety picks).
  • The Timeframe (with your deadline considerations in mind).

Step 4: We Work Our Magic

Typically, a project will take 2-3 weeks for our framers to complete. Your framer will let you know when your project is ready to be picked up via phone call. Please plan accordingly if your frame, print, or other design project needs to be made before a deadline!

Ready Made Frames

Serving Rhode Island & The Greater New England Area


Crestar proudly provides custom framing services throughout Rhode Island; including East Greenwich, Providence, Cranston, and surrounding communities. We also partner with clients across New England for large-scale framing, art consulting, and installation projects.

Our custom-made frames are crafted from the highest quality materials tailored to meet the specific aesthetic requirements of your piece. At our frame shop we use u.v. protective glazing materials to prevent the piece from yellowing and tarnishing. Art preservation is at the heart of what we do when it comes to museum-quality custom picture framing.

Our team of experts will work closely with you to select the right texture, color, and style, ensuring that your frame is as unique and personal as the item it surrounds.  

And...our corners are tight!

  •  Collaborative Design Process: Our goal is not to sell you a design, but to collaborate with you to design the perfect frame package to suit your goals and needs.
  • Largest Frame Selection in RI: We believe we have the largest selection of frame samples in the region. This means we can offer a variety of designs to suit your style and budget. 
  • Never Outsourced: What makes us special is that we do everything in-house, we don't "send out" the work. We cut and join our frames and prepare each component here. This gives us total control of the quality and timeliness of your frames.
  • Artist-lead Team: Everyone at Crestar is passionate about art, most of our employees are active artists in their own right, so we can give you educated, experience-based advice and guidance.
  • Commercial Framing: We also complete wholesale projects for businesses in need of larger orders. Interior Designers, local Museums & Galleries, Restaurant chains, and more come to us for their printing & framing needs.

Tailored Dimensions

Each shadow box is custom-crafted to accommodate the specific size and shape of your items, ensuring a perfect display.

Preservation of Integrity:

Encase your keepsakes in an environment that protects them from dust, UV light, and environmental damage-- prolonging their lifespan.

No Appointment Necessary!

Just come in with your item and we'll help design a frame for you. This includes choosing your moulding, matboard, and the depth of your box.

Fixing Frames or Artworks

In most cases, a project in need of some TLC really just needs a new frame. However, we do fix frames if our framers think it's salvageable (this is dependant on the damage level).

While we are not conservationists, our framers can offer valuable advice on any damaged artwork you may have. With a staff of artists, there's a wealth of knowledge available. Plus, if our framers deem it possible, we can try to repair the work or find ways to upgrade the presentation of the piece. Labor charges are applied.

No Waste: A Better Alternative!

Our Readymade frames are special in that they showcase our diligence towards making the most out of our materials without waste. We use the leftover mouldings from our custom orders to make these lovely frame
