Testimonials

Underground Art Framing is absolutely the best frame shop in the DC Metro area. Quality craftsmanship and exemplary service define their work product. They take the time to solve the most difficult of framing problems and have never let me down. This is a family owned business with a cast of characters who are the most warm and wonderful people you could ever want to meet.
— sheryl fiegel, president at ART+Specialists LC
The Underground Art Framing team never fails to go above and beyond the “framers’ call to duty”. I’ve never been let down, no matter how big a project or how tight a time frame I present. Did I mention craftsmanship? The quality of their framing puts other frame shops’ work to shame: no dust specks on the matting, no knicks in the moulding - always beautifully executed work!
— KATIE GIGANTI, COO at ARTISTS CIRCLE FINE ART
I have worked with Rob Plati at Underground Art Framing and his team of talented framers and installers for the past ten years. His knowledge of framing and incredible customer service makes it a pleasurable experience on every new project. Rob’s attention to detail and ability to get the job done on time and in budget always makes us look amazing to our clients. His shop is ONE OF A KIND in this day and age.
— Stacy Sklaver, President at ArtMatters
For over twenty-five years Underground has been my exclusive framer, building handsome custom frames for my not-so-easy-to-handle pastel paintings, They are not only meticulous craftspeople, they are beautiful human beings, always ready with big hugs whenever I walk in the door. They are the best!
— Barbara Rachko, Visual Artist, Blogger, Author
I have been a customer of Underground Art Framing for at least ten years. My experience with the shop is that I couldn’t be happier or more impressed with the exceptional customer service and the quality of the final product. It is a family owned business and every single time I am there I feel like a part of the family. That’s why I keep coming back.
— Dagmara Weinberg, Visual Artist

About UAF

Underground Art Framing was established as a family owned and operated business in 1984. What is now a fully equipped, large frame shop started out in the basement of the Plati family home - hence the name "Underground". After one year of being in business, we had already evolved and moved into an industrial warehouse.

We have always excelled and specialized in large and oversized pieces, working for corporate art consultants, designers, and artists alike. The same level of attention is given to the smaller scale projects as well.
