I used Modern Painting & Framing for several projects this year. Each time they have provided excellent aesthetic advice and great service at a fair price.Andrew Ross
The owners pride themselves by being extremely detail orientated. Their prices are very reasonable. Philippe helped me hung the new order and the ideas that he came with to add a flare to the house was absolutely amazing.Suki Abeysekera
