With the season in full swing wanted to update everyone. Like last year, shop hours will be Sunday late afternoon thru Thursday night, occasionally I’ll be around other days. Please call ahead (315-854-0363) to schedule your drop off and please be on time, I try to schedule everyone at different times so I can concentrate on every client. Be aware the website prices are not current, and a deposit is required for every mount. Good luck and enjoy the best time of year!!
