Eco-Art Custom Framing

Eco-Art Custom Framing has been putting together frames in the Dr. Phillips area of Orlando since 1989, which puts it well past the three-decade mark in a business where a lot of shops don’t make it past a few years. It’s tucked into Grand Oaks Village at Conroy and Dr. Phillips, right next to the Ace Hardware, in a spot that’s easy to miss if you’re not looking for it but worth finding if you’ve got something that actually needs to be framed properly.

What sets a shop like this apart from the framing counter at a big craft store is the range of what they’ll actually take on. Eco-Art works with conservation and fabric mats, liners, fillets, and museum-quality glass, and they handle canvas stretching and gallery wraps for artists who need their work presentation-ready. But it’s the specialty work that tends to send people here specifically: shadow boxes for military medals or keepsakes, sports memorabilia that needs a mount built around an oddly shaped object, animation art, needlework, and diplomas that deserve better than a generic frame from a chain store. If you’ve got a piece that doesn’t fit neatly into a standard frame size or needs UV-protective glass to keep it from fading in Florida sun, this is the kind of shop built to solve that problem.

The shop keeps fairly standard small-business hours, open Monday through Friday from 10 in the morning to 6 in the evening, and Saturdays from 10 to 2, with after-hours appointments available for people who can’t make it in during the week. It’s closed on Sundays and major holidays. That kind of flexibility, paired with three-plus decades in the same general area, suggests a shop that has built a steady base of repeat customers rather than relying on walk-in traffic alone. Framing is one of those services people tend to put off, a piece of art or a set of family photos sits in a closet for years before finally getting hung properly, and having a shop nearby that can walk you through mat colors, frame styles, and glass options in person tends to make that decision a lot easier than ordering online and hoping it works.

For anyone in Dr. Phillips, Conroy, or the surrounding parts of southwest Orlando who has a piece of art, a diploma, or a shadow box project sitting in a closet waiting to be dealt with properly, Eco-Art is a locally owned option that’s been doing this specific job, custom conservation framing, for a long time. Call ahead or stop by during shop hours to talk through options and pricing before committing to a design, especially for larger or more unusual pieces where the framing choices, mat colors, glass type, and mount style can make a real difference in how the finished piece looks on the wall and how well it holds up over time.
