When Should You Repair or Replace a Picture Frame?
Over time, picture frames can become damaged from age, sunlight, humidity, accidents, or normal wear and tear. The good news is that many frames can be professionally repaired instead of replaced.
At Custom Framing by Veterans, we provide expert frame repair services for clients throughout Sandy Springs and the Atlanta area.
Common Signs Your Frame Needs Repair
You may need professional frame repair if you notice:
Cracked or chipped corners
Loose joints
Scratched or broken glass
Warping or bending
Water damage
Faded mats
Backing that no longer secures the artwork
Repairing a damaged frame can often restore the appearance and structural integrity of sentimental or valuable pieces.
Is Frame Repair Worth It?
In many cases, yes. Antique frames, custom-built frames, family heirlooms, and sentimental artwork are often worth repairing rather than replacing.
Professional frame repair can:
Extend the life of your artwork
Improve presentation
Preserve sentimental value
Save money compared to full replacement
Protect valuable pieces from further damage
Updating Older Frames
Sometimes a frame is structurally sound but visually outdated. Updating the matting, glass, or hardware can modernize the look without replacing the entire frame.
This is especially common for:
Family portraits
Wedding photos
Vintage artwork
Certificates and diplomas
Older sports memorabilia displays
Trust a Professional Framer
Improper repairs can cause further damage to artwork and collectibles. A professional framer understands how to safely handle delicate materials and properly preserve your pieces.
At Custom Framing by Veterans, we take pride in helping Atlanta-area clients restore and preserve the items that matter most.
