Finicky Framer
732-747-2922
After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in art, Dana Parisi was set to attend graduate school when she and a friend were presented with an offer to buy The Finicky Framer; about 20 years later, she still owns the store and frames all flat and three-dimensional objects on the premises. Art, posters and photography can be encased in any one of the thousands of frames available, samples of which are affixed to the store's entire interior; sports jerseys, mirrors, maps, certificates and needlework are welcome. Christening gowns are often brought in for professional framing, and the store uses acid-free conservation materials. Parisi and staff have more than 50 years combined experience, and they consider customer service to be of paramount importance. The Finicky Framer also sells a selection of wood and metalworked easels in varying sizes.

I went to the Finicky Framer to get my grandparents' wedding photo framed. It had some damage on the corner so the girl (owner?) suggested I restore the photo before I have it framed. Well I have to say, she was right...the restored photo looked better than the original!! Between the quality restoration work and the beautiful silvery gold framed she suggested, I couldn't be happier. I was really pleased with the Finicky Framer and will going back for future framing needs.
