An acquaintance had told me what a good job they had done for him, some time ago. After reading their reviews I decided to take my pictures there and I was very pleased with the personalized and very knowledgeable attention we received from Patty. She exactly understood what we very looking for and went through several options with us, until we found the right ones. We are very pleased with the job they did!!
I called First Impressions after they were referred to me by a family member. I was looking for a company that could display my fathers WWII medals appropriately and professionally. When I picked up the finished display I was absolutely stunned by how beautiful it looked. I was thrilled with the color selection and layout, and the respect that they showed for my fathers memory. Truly remarkable experience! I highly recommend First Impressions to anyone looking for this type of display or quality artwork for home or office.
Patty and Theresa are true professionals in their field of fine are. They helped me find 2 pieces to freshen up our home away from home in Tarpon Springs. Highly recommend First Impressions.
For my recent birthday, my son gifted me with a gorgeous original signed print by an artist friend. I knew I wanted a nice frame for it, but having recently moved to the area, wasnt sure where to take it, so went to Dr. Google and asked for frame shops near me and found First Impressions to be the closest. After reading a few positive reviews, I took my print in and Theresa was very helpful with choosing the right frame, mats and glass for the job. Picked it up today and am very happy with the job they did. I highly recommend their services!
Having moved to Florida relatively recently, I did not know where to take our highly coveted, framable items to be treated with the respect I expect from a framing company. I took to the Internet to discover First Impressions and its string of 5 star reviews. I turned over a most valuable, original, 2-sided movie poster that came directly to us from the Skywalker Ranch, anxiously awaiting First Impressions to work their framing magic.They knocked it out of the park! They framed the item in such a way that both sides are open should we want to see the back. They color matched the back of the frame, too, in the event we might turn it around for hanging. Everyone working in this business is an expert in their craft and it shows in the finished product. To top off all of that, when I picked up the final product, I was graciously provided a tour of facility, including where production takes place, and got to know the employees a little bit better on a personal level.If you have a highly coveted piece that requires framing, whether it be of high monetary value or one of sentimental merit, First Impressions is the trustworthy place to go.
Better frame (selection and final result), workmanship, service, and overall experience than the big box store for the same money. I love the way my piece turned out thanks to the knowledgeable and experienced guidance I received here. I also love that they were willing / able to work with me so that I got a great frame in my budget. Highly recommend!
A fabulous art and framing studio! Quality work at amazing prices. Patti and her staff are beyond helpful and friendly - locally owned and showcasing local artists.
Outstanding framing and matting ! From initial framing ideas to final product really above expectations. Patti and her coworker Theresa were so friendly and patient with us. When we hung the pictures in our home we immediately thought of 2 more pictures to leave in Pattis professional hands without reservation.
The staff was very helpful and did a great job. Love my picture frame!
I have been very pleased with the service and quality they provide. Their staff is courteous, professional and knowledgeable. A great experience. Oh, and be prepared to be greeted with a happy smile!
The people at this studio were kind and professional and i would recomend anyone to visit to have great care and human attenction payed to them john
This place is absolutely amazing! They have done great work for me on multiple occasions. Very professional, quick, and reasonably priced. I will have all my works framed here. Thank you!!
I am so pleased with the attention of the staff and the work that they do. Framing has become a relatively expensive endeavor, so I was extremely surprised at how reasonable the cost of framing my three mezzotints was. However, if the work had not been satisfactory, then the moderate price would have been meaningless. I am very glad to say that the work met my expectations, and then some. The framing and matting beautifully matched the piece I brought in as an example of what I wanted. I urge anyone needing framing to fist check with Patti and First Impressions; I doubt you will find a better deal or better craftsmanship.
We needed a custom frame for a very large piece and a glass replaced on a photograph that had been damaged in our recent move. Patti was extremely patient and helpful with us, making sound suggestions but never pushy...as we sought the perfect frame for the painting to coordinate with our family room decor. We were able to search through the extensive on-site inventory as well as custom ordered framing materials to find exactly what we needed. The job was done perfectly within our budget and quick turnaround as we had company visiting in a few weeks. Very satisfied and highly recommend First Impressions Fine Art Gallery.
Look no further. This is the best place to go to for frames. Whether a large sale or a small one, you will be treated like a first-class customer. By way of example, last week, I brought in a framed wall hanging that was damaged during a move. I asked if it could be repaired. I was offered the option of a repair for $15 with no guarantee (because of the way the frame was damaged) or purchasing a new frame for $45 or more. I chose to have it repaired and it came out perfect AND I wasnt even charged. Who does that these days? First Impressions does. My first impression of this place and its ownership is A+++. If they handle the small stuff with great professionalism and care, Im confident they can be trusted for the big stuff or anything in between. I will look no further when it comes to picture frames. Highly recommend!
Excellent quality and very helpful staff. Prices are better than the competition.
First Impressions framing team has done an excellent job on the photos and painting I brought in. Couldnt be happier with their selections and the completed product was even better than I had hoped.
I live on the west coast and needed to find something of quality for my Goddaughters wedding that was taking place in Florida. I wanted it to be unique and special so I decided on a piece of art. Patti and her assistant Theresa were amazing. The level of attention, efficiency, and service that I needed was not the norm. I had to pick a piece of art and frame long distance but they never missed a beat, shopped for me in the store for the exact kind of print I was looking for, and made me feel like I truly was a top priority. I have been a business owner myself and this was a top notch experience on all fronts. It is the true meaning of going above and beyond and not lettin em see ya sweat.
First Impressions is the best custom framing art gallery I have been to. My wife is an interior designer and works beautifully with the team at First Impressions! God bless!
Excellent experience here.Staff was professional as well as were the condition of the premises. A high level of care was given to my art framing and the price for the service was appropriate. Highly recommended. I will return again.
Have done a lot of business, bought art and had art reframed or rematted, received very good expertise & service here over the past few years. Recommend highly.
Before you purchase anywhere else in the Tampa Bay area you must come here and look, great selection, fair prices and the owners will roll out the red carpet for you
They did an excellent job framing several pieces of art work for us. Weve become repeat customers. We highly recommend First Impressions Fine Art & Framing.
My wife had an excellent experience with them. They do beautiful work and were very quick.
I loved that Patty and Teresa were exceptionally helpful and so above and beyond accommodating helping me choose the perfect frame for the perfect price. Such a beautiful place with beautiful people. I will definitely be back here for all my framing!
Did a wonderful job! Very professional
My oh my are we thankful to have been referred to them. BEST IN THE BIZ...they are, without a doubt, the leading frame company in the area. Nothing compares to the client service, talent, cost, and quality that we were provided.
Best framing company there is. Everyone comments on how amazing my art looks when they see it in my home and I have First Impressions Fine Art to thank for that! Thank you thank you! I will refer you to everyone
We had a bunch of projects and these guys were awesome! The place is beautiful, staff is so kind, and their selection is massive. I cant believe I didnt know of them before now. Id refer anyone to them any day!
Great place to get local artists art work..So many unique pieces of art and great selection of frames to choice from.
Best Custom Framing shop in the state. I had many difficult pieces and they worked with me through every single one their prices were reasonable and their manager Theresa was one of the most Pleasant people.
Patty is absolutely wonderful and has fantastic pieces of art that is hard not to fall in love with.
First Impressions exceeded my expectations! Not only is the gallery beautiful, the staff was incredibly hands on and couldnt do enough for me! I came in unsure of what I wanted and left with a vision, a plan and a trusted company to do the job! I would do 10 stars if I could!
Beautiful and affordable artwork for the home. The only thing I can say negative is that theres actually too much art in the gallery that its bin piles.
Great service. amazing staff. beautiful facility.
Great frame selection & outstanding staff!
