Just went in for a matte. It was cut perfectly to my size within a couple minutes and presented to me with a smile and no charge! That was such a nice thing to do! Many thanks! Highly recommend Ferrante framing for all framing needs.

I have dealt with Ferrante for many years. Whenever I needed a frame or framing. A plaqing item etc. He was always very professional, gave great and advice and had the product ready when it was due to be picked up.
Most recently we went in to get advice on a particular type of wire to hold up a very heavy mirror in our bathroom. He gave us great advice and then brought out the clips and heavy duty wire. We came home and put them on and they were perfect. Better yet - he gave this to us for free.
Great place to take all your framing needs and very professional service.

Joe was super friendly and a true professional and framing expert. It was my first time using his services and he went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my product!

We recently opened a business in Niagara-on-the-Lake and my husband received a signed Alek Manoah jersey as a gift for the opening.
I brought the jersey to Joe, and he presented me with multiple options as to how we could hang the jersey, and patiently worked with me as I was balancing a 3-month-old and 2-year-old.
The final product is astounding, and my husband is thrilled this will be going up in his clinic. I would highly recommend Joe and his craftsmanship, and we'll be back with more projects for him in the near future!

We had the most incredible experience at Ferrante Framing today. Who thought that getting a frame for a diploma could be so much fun? Joe is very knowledgeable and a delight to work with. We had a picture framed there many years ago and it has stood the test of time. I would recommend this business over and over again! Thank you for the wonderful service!!

Over the years we have done all our framing at Ferrante. He does superb work. His quality is superb his prices are even better.
There was something I wanted to be changed in a framing he did 8 years ago. So he opened the frame up, made the change, and put it back together. When I came in to pick it up and pay for it he told me there was no charge. Where else are you going to get that kind of service? So I will keep spreading the word that Ferrante is the king of framing.

My expectations were exceeded by Joe's attention to framing two posters of mine. He certainly deserves his "5.0 Google rating" from 90 (+1) Google users. Highly recommended!

Great experience having two prints reframed and matted. Plus two original 40 yr. old pencil sketch drawings were replaced with museum glass making these drawings pop with such clarity.
Joe was very informative showing us all options regarding types of frames, matting, glass, and pricing. All four projects came out fabulously !!
Ferrante Framing is the Best in St. Catharines and in the Niagara Region.
Thank you, Joe.

I've had a number of pieces of art framed over the years, and most recently I submitted an A4-sized print on delicate washi paper. The print itself is crooked and I thought it'd be a bit of a nuisance to work with, in terms of framing. I've now since put up "Boris the Giraffe," and am ver pleased and impressed with how Ferrante chose to frame him. Joe, the owner, talked me through it, and his confidence is what sold me. It's absolutely perfect, especially for being such a wonky printed piece of art. Additionally, removing and re-sticking the artist's information from the protective plastic onto the back of the frame was a genius touch. So pleased!

Great place. Great service. He helped correct a print many months later at no cost. Joe is really there for you.

We came here when of my Mom's prints fell off the wall, breaking the frame it came in. The owner was so helpful with choosing a beautiful replacement frame and now the artwork looks better than ever! He even gave us the proper hardware for hanging it back up so it wouldn't fall down again.

Just stopped by to see Joe for help fixing my fine art photo prints, which were cut to the wrong size by the printer. I found that he is a kind man with loads of experience and a willingness to help in the matters of framing! As an emerging artist, I found his assistance and expertise valuable! Highly recommend.

My husband Bryan had this put together of my baby English Bulldog, Jaxxon Crinkles. His death hit me hard and I was having trouble looking at any of his special belongings. Ferrante Framing went above and beyond to put it all together. I look at it every day and I have very happy lots of my boy. I don't think they knew when they were designing this how much comfort it would bring to me. You are truly master designers. Thank you for taking the time to make my baby's treasures have a forever home where I can look and smile and talk to him. If I could only explain the joy your craftmanship has brought to my journey. Thank you is not a strong enough word. But that is all I can say "Thank you"! Alison Hillier

Joe came highly recommended on Google search so I called to see if it was possible to add hooks to a beautiful vintage mirror that I needed hung vertically in my hallway. Joe was extremely accommodating, meeting me at his shop on a day they were usually closed: the mirror required him to take it completely apart to accommodate the new hooks, a task I didn’t think would be possible! He had my mirror ready to hang by early the next day. Very professional and great customer service. Will definitely be back!

“If you are looking for taste and excellence in workmanship, look no further than Ferrante
Framing. I’ve had numerous pictures framed there so I can personally attest to the unwavering
quality and service. Joe has an unfailing eye for selecting frames and mattes to complement
your picture. He steps back and lets you decide as he says, “You are the one who has to live with
it and like it.” Other picture framers tried to push me, not even letting me experiment for myself.
There is no “I know best, attitude” from Joe, though most likely he will guide you to the
perfect choices. Another facet of Joe’s work is how fast the pictures are ready. In comparison,
I have waited elsewhere for weeks or even months.
Joe has very elegant manners but is never snobbish or condescending as I dealt with another framer who
constantly reminded me “he was putting his name on it and he was to be known for his work.” I love
to work with Joe as we move through choices. Most people are more likely to not go through the process
I do, but that being said, if you enjoy colour and searching for that “Eureka” moment where you find
the perfect treatment for a picture, Joe is your man.
No other framer comes close. I cannot recommend Ferrante Picture Framing highly enough! Lastly, Joe
almost always has some sort of sale on frames so if you are on a budget, again, this is the place for you. No matter
your picture, Joe will make it look fantastic!

Incredible customer service! Great experience all around and top-notch work done. I was impressed with Joe's patience as he walked me through options and pricing. I can't speak highly enough of this place, I highly recommend it.
Amazing service and quality that cannot be beaten. I can’t recommend Ferrante Framing enough!
Hello Joe Ferrante: Thank you once again for providing us your top-quality, exquisitely-crafted picture framing...and your excellent service too, to boot! In fact, I'm so impressed by the craftsmanship of your work that I call you: "Michaelangelo of Framing!" By the way, I have visited Italy and have viewed the masterpieces of Michaelangelo, Da Vinci, Raphael, Botticelli, Titian and other masters. Thus, I do not hesitate to call you: "Michaelangelo of Framing!" Thank you very much. Grazie mille. Sincerely, Robert Jason, M.A (Hist.) Retired History Teacher.
Joe was really helpful when I brought in a bunch of old concert tickets to be framed. He helped with some layout ideas and then the frame & mat choices resulting in two nicely done frames. They hang in my work office and have already garnered many compliments.

Joe just framed my undergraduate degree for me. I've always wanted to have it done and even though it was a little yellowed with age, he managed to make it look beautiful! This is the second item I've had done there and I've been totally satisfied. Joe makes terrific suggestions and never rushes you to make a decision. If you need something framed, go see Joe at Ferrante's

Joe Framed 2 Tragically Hip Posters for me, and they look absolutely perfect. He got them done quickly, and for a very reasonable price. The quality of frame and glass exceeded my expectations, and Joes knowledge and professionalism is second to none. I will be back for more in the near future.
JlJoe has always provided my family with expert framing advice and service. Our framed pieces look magnificent. Thank you, Joe.

Really fantastic framing shop. The prices are great and the turn around time is amazing. I had pictures framed and mirrors made by them. Great at offering suggestions and design help but they don't try to upsell you on things you don't want. I would highly recommend Ferrante Framing!
Joe took a unique item and applied his expertise in arranging and framing to create a spetacular show piece. Thank you
Great pricing, great service and great turn around time. These guys have done a few pieces for me and they always turn out more beautiful than I expect. I feel like I'm getting a deal every time I walk out of there.
Joe did an amazing job framing two rather large paintings, delivered them with great care and provided a very fair price. I would most definitely use Ferrante Framing again.... ...More
Brought in a jersey to be framed after it was sitting at another persons business for 3 months.
He finished it in less than a week and I couldn't be any happier.
Thanks very much
I had 5 pieces of needlework framed and it was my first time experience with Ferrante Framing. I would recommend them to anyone and as soon as I have another piece finished, I will take it to them. I was extremely pleased with the work done.
Wonderful, professional service!!! He did a beautiful job on a large piece of artwork that I needed a new piece of glass in. Very fast service too. Would definetly recommend!!!!
I've been to Ferrante Framing a number of times in the past few years and highly recommend them. They have an extensive collection of frames to choose from, the prices are reasonable, and they are very good at helping to choose an appropriate frame.
After a big let down from Michael's two days before Christmas, Joe, at Ferrante Framing saved Christmas for my family and I. Save your time and energy, avoid Michael's for your framing and take it straight to Ferrante and you won't be disappointed.
Very helpful and patient in explaining the many options available!
