As a small framing shop in the East Village, Excel opened so that we could deliver our framing services to lower Manhattan. Here at Excel we strive to do exactly what our name suggests: we surpass others and do extremely well in our industry and continue to grow to meet our customers' needs! Every day we do everything we can to be exceptional at providing our customers with the greatest caliber of museum quality custom framing in the industry. We have been in business for more than 20 years, and with that time has come knowledge and experience with artwork and frames that is beyond compare. Khalil F. For the past 23 years I have been mastering the art of picture framing from all aspects.
