The cost of framing varies based on material quality, design intricacy, and size. Custom frames and specialty finishes tend to increase expenses, especially when larger dimensions or detailed craftsmanship are involved. Customers should consider these factors when planning for framing projects to ensure alignment with their budget and aesthetic preferences.
Details such as matting, mounting hardware, and glass contribute to the total cost and can be customized for aesthetic or protective purposes.
