Dale Custom Framing

Dale Custom Framing operates a small storefront at 123 West Washington Street in Minneola, a Lake County city that sits along the U.S. Highway 27 corridor between Clermont and the Florida Turnpike interchange. The business is classified in local business directories under art goods and art galleries, dealers and consultants, reflecting a focus on custom picture framing rather than retail art sales alone. For residents of Minneola and the surrounding South Lake County communities, a dedicated framing shop fills a specific niche in a market otherwise dominated by big box retailers and chain frame counters. It offers a local point of contact for framing work that calls for individual attention, whether that is a diploma, a family photograph, a piece of original artwork, or a keepsake meant to hang on a wall for decades.

Minneola has grown substantially since the citrus farming era that shaped its early economy, and small service businesses like this one occupy storefronts along its older commercial streets even as new development spreads along the highway frontage. Washington Street sits within the older, established part of the city, not far from Lake Minneola and within a short distance of City Hall, placing the framing shop inside the walkable historic core of town rather than one of the newer shopping plazas built during the last two decades of residential growth in South Lake County.

According to available business listings, Dale Custom Framing keeps weekday hours, open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with no weekend hours listed. That schedule is typical of a small, owner operated framing business, where appointments and pickups are often handled directly by the person doing the framing work rather than by a larger retail staff. The listing indicates the business accepts standard forms of payment, including major credit cards, cash, and checks.

Custom framing as a trade generally covers services such as cutting mats, selecting moulding, mounting artwork or textiles, and building shadow boxes for three dimensional keepsakes. The specific range of services offered at this particular location has not been independently confirmed beyond its general art goods and framing classification, so visitors with specialty needs, such as conservation framing for valuable documents or oversized canvas stretching, should call ahead and ask directly rather than assume every service is available.

For this Florida business directory, Dale Custom Framing is the Arts and Culture listing verified to exist within Minneola’s incorporated city limits at the time of this research. Its address was checked against the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder, which places the location inside the city of Minneola rather than an unincorporated part of Lake County or a neighboring municipality. That distinction matters here, because several art galleries, dance studios, and theaters that surface in directory searches for Minneola are actually located in nearby Clermont, Winter Garden, or Orlando once their addresses are checked. Anyone researching arts and culture options centered specifically inside Minneola proper, rather than the broader South Lake County area, will find this framing shop as the option confirmed in that category as of this research pass. Prospective customers are encouraged to call ahead to confirm current hours, since small single location shops can change schedules without updating every directory listing.
