Framing Shops

Winilyme · 09-30-2025, 12:12 PM

Any recommendations for framing shops in the Meredith/Laconia/Moultonborough area? We have several ceramic tiles we want to frame. Thanks.

Thanks. I checked on-line. It appears they are permanently closed. However, it seems there's a framing shop in that space now called Picture Perfect. Perhaps the business was sold and renamed. It also has very few open hours. Just M, T & W, 10:00 - 2:00 according to their website.

The business was indeed sold and renamed - I had my daughter's diploma framed at that shop, and went in on a Saturday. As stated on the website, you can also make an appointment, no need to wait for published 'open hours'.

Michael's Crafts in Gilford, (plaza where Walmart is), also does custom framing. I've never had anything done there, but have noticed the custom framing area when I've wandered around in there with the boss.

We have used Michael’s for custom framing. Good work. Just know what you want

Picture Perfect is terrific! Stephanie Casale did great work for us. She is easy to work with and reasonable. You will not be disappointed!

I used the one on Canal Street in downtown Laconia and was happy. I forget the name.

Based on several comments here recommending Picture Perfect in Moultonborough, we decided to give them a try with the two framing projects we had. The verdict is in: Working with Stephanie Casale, sole proprietor, is wonderful. She is all of pleasant, patient, thoughtful and talented. In conversation, she indicated that she loves her work because the projects she's entrusted with are often very personal to her customers; and playing a part in that is rewarding. We like that she connects with her work.

We picked up our projects today and they are immaculate so, Sue, you were right, we were not to be disappointed.

My wife and I strongly recommend that you turn over your framing needs to Picture Perfect. They're located at 954 Whittier Highway, Moultonborough, 603-476-8892, pictureperfectnh.com.

That is such good news, but not surprising. She is a gem, and obviously enjoys what she does. We have some more projects for her…she is a pro!
