Need to re-stretch canvases? There are many variables here and trained professionals make a difference. Generally, we gallery wrap canvases with the staples on the back. But sometimes in canvases that are re-stretched there is not enough canvas to do anything but staple on the side and frame it.

Maybe you were traveling and the canvas was removed from the stretcher bars to more easily transport it home. Together we can outline and create the best options and ideas for your situation. Maybe that is how you bought it or discovered it. Tapestries are another item on a case by case basis. Very likely we can help and enhance your decor. We specialize in custom framing.

How Much Does It Cost to Have a Canvas Stretched and Framed?

The biggest factor in the price is the size. Bigger definitely costs more. No frame at all is less expensive than even the least inexpensive of frames. Frames of course vary in price from reasonable to expensive, Float frames look great but are not the cheapest option. Float frames need a stretched canvas that is square...those brought in by customers often are not square.

The Twin Cities Top Choice For Stretching Paintings, Canvas Artwork and Canvas Prints | Stephens Art and Frame

Custom Canvas Framing Options

There are many ways canvas art can be framed depending what form it is in...that is:

  • Is it presently a rolled canvas? How long has it been rolled up? Does it have creases or cracks?

  • Is it canvas on some type of board or wood?

  • Is it already stretched? Is it square? How thick are the stretcher bars?

  • Is it already framed?

  • What kind of condition is it in? How old is it? Is it fragile or brittle?

  • How thick is the paint or high is it in some places when spread on with a palette knife?

  • If it is rolled... does it have wide enough margins to be stretched onto stretcher bars without losing some of the art over the edges?

  • Will your frame choice fit? Will it work? Will it stick out the back and still look okay?

    Pretty difficult to answer all the framing possibilities of how it can be framed without seeing it in person. We offer many solutions and framing choices for most situations to design and enhance your project.

    What is a canvas float or floater frame?

The idea of a float frame is to create the idea or sensation that the canvas is floating or is suspended in in air. You leave a gap between the frame and canvas for this look. Some people like to butt the frame right next to the canvas with the floater frame.
