My friends have used Prints Unlimited on Fullerton Ave (in the Lincoln Park area) before, and have done good work at reasonable prices, from what I've been told.

Artists Frame Service has great sales on the first sunday of every month on some really impressive wood/framing materials. Ive gotten all of my pieces framed there and have always left happy.

I usually order frames online or piece out frames and cut my own mats. But when I've needed higher value jobs done I used Blackbird Framing on Ravenswood Ave.

If you dig simple frames, Lakeview Art Supply stocks various sizes/colors of pre-made frames and pre-cut mats at their Lincoln location (back, left corner of the store). Mix and match to set it up however you like (double mat, colored frames, etc.). I did most of my framing there and it was so much less expensive than custom.
