I had 2 painting canvases that needed framing, not too many places near me in the bay area, so I found 3rd Millenium on Yelp. Based on the reviews here, i wanted to give them a try. I'm a big fan on giving my money to small businesses, rather than the corporate stores. I have never had a picture professionally framed before, so I went and spoke with Hector. He inspected the paintings, gave me a few options on the frames, and when the work was completed, it totally blew me away. It went from just a paint canvas to, WOW, A PAINT CANVAS LOOKING AWESOME with the correct picture frame. I put my trust in Hector to decide on the frames and he did a great job after it was all completed. Hector is a true professional in his craft. Go to 3rd Millenium, talk to Hector, and you will not be disappointed. Michael C. read more

I took two paintings in, both inherited to me and painted by my late grandfather. One, the glass broke in transit while moving. The other, the frame broke when it fell off the wall. I had the matting changed and choose a new frame on one and the glass replaced on the other. They make suggestions for the type of glass you want (reflective or anti-glare), they also make recommendations for the matting. They also reinforced the backside of the paintings because the paper it was painted on is traditionally thin. So, a sturdier backing would ensure the longevity of the painting. They promised to have it done within a week, but two days later I got a text! So fast. Reasonable prices too. read more

I highly recommend this place and Hector ! He helped me with canvas stretching very large prints. He had the best pricing and delivered high quality product timely. The entire staff are very responsible and pays attention to customer satisfaction. Hector will surely be my go to person for future framing projects. read more

As a returning happy client after many years. I knew they were going to surpass not only exception,top-notch, customer service which is very difficult to find these days. As we were selecting our framework and border the owner of the gallery asked us Where we were going to place it out in our home and we told them it was for our daughters Quinceanera. And certainly noticed a blink in his eye that idea popped into his mind, look at us and told us please allow me to surprise you for such a special event. We trusted him and his quality of work and left my daughters print in his hands without any hesitation and doubt it will be a masterpiece. It is AMAZING MASTERPIECE upon picking it it. Absolutely the most elegant frame with a touch of elegance and only made my daughters picture stand out even more. Thank you for excellent exceptional customer service! I will return for all my frame work. read more

Fantastic Job! I had the most awkward sized print that needed to be framed. I couldn't find a DIY frame anywhere. Remembering the outrageous quotes I've received from Michael's in the past, I decided to venture elsewhere. With a quick Google search, I found 3rd Millennium; only a mile from my place. I dropped off the print and was instructed to come back the very next day. Within 24hrs my print was framed with UV Protected Glass. $130 out the door. By far the easiest framing experience I've had. read more

Sooooooo happy that I found Hector. Terrific service, and devoid of all transactional BS. He's in for the long haul, and will be the frame shop of choice from here on out. If you're a Fremont or Newark resident and using somebody else, you've chosen poorly. Michael's KMA! read more

Great experience working with the team here, not only were they fast, but super customer friendly. I came in after I had tried a self framing solution from amazon. All I have to say is leave it to the pros. I'll definitely be coming here again for my future needs. read more

After painting and cleaning the interior of my house, I decided to frame some of the posters and art prints I've had sitting in storage for a while. I did some research online and found Hector at Third Millennium Gallery. I called to confirm their hours, then stopped by with my art in tow. Hector went over my options in a friendly and easy to understand way, and even made suggestions to use unique material that would go especially well with the colors of one print. The work was complete on time and at a reasonable rate, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Framing art isn't cheap, but Hector's prices are fair and his skill and care are undeniable. I'll definitely be back! read more

I came to know 3rd Millennium through a local photography club. I have a 36x24 print that I wanted to frame. Hector is super friendly and helpful. I already had some ideas how I wanted to frame it.

I would definitely go back for my framing in the future. read more

Shopping for a master bathroom frame to fit an opening with our original glass and old frame. 1st stop was michaels, then 3rd millennium. 3rd millennium WON our business. Hector is a pleasure to work with. Tons of frames to choose from! Cuts glass, Michaels doesn't! Supporting local businesses is important to me, being self-employed ourselves. Great job, well deserved 5 stars! read more

I brought my law school diploma into 3rd Millennium for framing. They knew exactly what do and gave me a range of options to choose from. I ended opting for the works and it was worth it. The work was high quality and my diploma looks gorgeous. Considering the quality of the work, the cost was reasonable. I would highly recommend this place. read more

3rd Millennium Gallery - Perfect framing for our Deth P Sun artwork. - Art Galleries Near Me - Newark, California

I graduated from college a few years ago and got a lovely degree-- four years' of sweat, blood, tears (and yes, more than a little bit of booze) went into this gorgeous piece of parchment, which until now, had been proudly displayed...in a folder in the back of my closet. The cash-grabbing folks at my university had the brilliant plan of making our degrees over-sized (and with odd dimensions) so that the only pre-made frames in existence that would fit them would be...you guessed it...the ones sold directly through the college during Commencement month, to the tune of about $280. Having already forked over many thousands of dollars for my education, I decided I'd just get my degree custom-framed for about half the price. After several super steep quotes from framers all over NY (about $200+), I finally decided to try a Bay Area framer near my brother's house in the East Bay and stumbled across 3rd Millenium. I came in the day after Christmas. The framer, Hector, was out, but his assistant was there and patiently helped me try to pick a frame and a double matte. After about 20 minutes of head scratching on my part, the assistant saw that I was having a hard time envisioning a brilliant way to frame my piece and gently suggested that I let Hector pick out a suitable matte/frame combo. Having already read his great Yelp reviews here, I decided to leave it in his very capable hands. He called me later that day to ask me what I was envisioning, and set to work. About 48 hours later (during the busy holiday season, no less!), he called again to let me know he was finished. I went into the store with my parents (who had graciously offered to get my degree framed--finally-- as my Christmas gift) and was pleasantly surprised to see that Hector picked out a GORGEOUS matte color combo to go with the frame I had chosen, and given me a triple matte and no-glare glass to make the presentation sharper. All of this for literally $60 cheaper than the cheapest quote I had gotten elsewhere. He also put mounting hardware on the back of it for easy hanging and sent me home with the corresponding wall mounting screws. Fantastic! My degree now sits proudly on the wall in my new apartment, and I will definitely be back to see Hector for my next framing need. read more

Great framing shop. I've had multiple pieces of art and special photos framed over the last several years and I have always been impressed. A lover of art but not artistic myself, I never know what I want when I walk in. I always just let Hector make some suggestions on frames and matting, then I choose what I like best. He's very good at it, and I'm always impressed at how quickly he finds the right combination. Very nice guy and great to work with. Final product always looks great. Reasonably priced. Very happy I have a great professional framer so close to home. read more

I brought 3 photos to 3rd Millennium Gallery to have framed as a Christmas Gift. Hector (the owner) helped me through picking the frame and mat and gave me a really fair price. He then told me to bring more photos in so he could do one in a different style. When I came back, my original pictures were beautifully framed - really just gorgeous - and the additional picture was in the coolest framing ever. I'm really impressed and highly recommend them. Hector was outstanding and his work is beyond compare. I'll definitely be back to get more framing done. read more

After reading the 1 review on yelp, I automatically picked up the phone to call this place. I needed a very simple frame for a 20 x 30 collage poster of my son and was surprised to find the pricing at Michaels to be so expensive. Hector quoted me a price and stuck with it. He charges what seems to be the minimal charge for labor and the frame, mat, etc. and delivered a very professional and beautiful frame. It was all done in a little over 30 mins. while I waited and enjoyed lunch at La Pinata (next door). I was so happy to have found a local place that does custom framing for a fraction of what the larger stores charge. He also gives recommendations of what color may be best to go along with the picture so I appreciated that too since I was clueless. His wife was also very kind and generous and was the person who greeted me at the door. There seems to be a couple different addresses for the store but it is located right at the corner of Sycamore and Thornton, on the northwest corner (across street from Starbucks). Overall I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this place! read more

Hector is great!!! Professional! Did a great job framing our Precious Chinese Art. I was skeptical to let anyone touch my Chinese Brush Painting because these are original, one and one only copy art! After reading reviews after reviews, on a Monday we decided to go Millennium Art Gallery. At Hector's Gallery, we told him what we want and we picked out frames and style we want. He said it can be pick up at end of the week and cost me $$$$. Man, that was lots of money!!! When came to decision making, we were not worry how much it cost to frame all three paintings. We were worry how safe our paintings will be!!! I told my husband, I trust him and I can see the sincerity in him. I think he will take good care my paintings and do a goo job. It was a bit of uneasy feelings but we decided to go ahead to have it frame here anyway!!! When I went to pick up, I was surprised how wonderful, nice, good job that he has done. For the $$$$ that I paid, its totally worth it. In fact; I do believed he under charge me!!!! read more

What can I say? Bruno's Gallery (San Bruno) / 3rd Millennium Framing (Newark)...I had nothing but an absolutely AMAZING experience with working with them. I am artist trying to make it in the art world. Every avenue I tried proved to be challenging to say the least - until I met Hector and his staff at 3rd Millennium Framing. Don't let the store front fool you. Hector and his staff frame everything from your basic 4 x 6 shot of your new puppy, to catering to the needs of companies listed in the SMP 500, to one of a kind originals worth tens of thousands of dollars. His craftsmanship is pristine, his customer care is impeccable, his attention to detail and professionalism undeniable. His prices; COMPLETELY reasonable and damn near unbelievable. I was going to a number of framers over the years to help me create an inventory I could start to peddle. The numbers are night and day. They're good people that deserve good business. No matter what your framing needs, I guarantee they will work to make you happy. read more

So I got an early Christmas gift: a lovely canvas watercolor painting of a Hawaiian waterfall. My husband went to 3rd Millenium to get it framed right away and came back with rave reviews: 1.) The price is extremely reasonable. Way more reasonable than "Michael's" will charge (even post-Michael's-coupon). 2.) The turn-around time is FAST. We were expecting the job to be ready in 2 weeks...it was ready in 2 days. 3.) The product is beautiful. I know my husband may have had a say in the color of the frame, but the owner must have an eye for what goes with what because I know my hubby wouldn't have been able to pick out the color combination on his own! :) 4.) They are very customer-service focused. Super friendly and kind. Hubby forgot cash and the credit card machine was being fiesty the day of pick-up...so the owner handed over the framed painting and told him to simply come back another time to pay him back!! Amazing. (We of course paid him back later that day!) This will be our new go-to framing shop. No more clipping of Michael's coupons for us! read more

We had a very thick piece of art we wanted framed. Hector immediately grabbed a few pieces together to create a great looking frame for us that worked with the size. The end result came out beautiful and he even upgraded the glass used for free since it took a bit longer than expected. read more

This is the first time using Yelp and the sole purpose is to state how great this place is. This place did an amazing job matting my school project in a very short amount of time. The owner charged an incredible low price for the outstanding results he gave out. read more

Getting my art and pictures framed at 3rd Millennium was a great experience. When I've had art framed before (at the big art framing stores), it was a kid on a computer who did not know what they were talking about and I felt that their input was pretty useless. Hector is a professional and an artist on his own. He worked with me and gave me meaningful advise and suggestions for how to make my art complete. The pieces that he framed for me look complete, finished, and professional. They look like museum-quality pieces. With the frames that he custom-made, they look fantastic! I'll never go to the big framing stores again! I appreciate his craft and value his professional eye. read more

I can't say enough great things about Hector and his framing shop! PROFESSIONAL jobs and the quality is museum level!!! I had two prints that I came in to get quoted by him, and I had an idea of what it would cost. I thought with just frames, and glass, it would be a certain amount. Hector offered me framing, matting, and glass for about half of what I expected it would be!! I absolutely loved the quality job he did for me! My wife can't stop looking at her print that he framed and she keeps complimenting it every time she walks past it! Seriously, if you want to get an amazing framing job done, with a very reasonable and kind professional, this is the place, don't even bother checking out other places!! read more

Excellent frame shop, Hector spent hours with me picking the right color mats and frames for my 9 pieces of art. He is also a former framer for Disney and Dreamworks so I knew my animation cels were in good hands and they came out beautifully matted and framed with the multiple cel setups separated so the cels wouldn't become stuck together. If you have art you want protected and especially if you collect animation art you need to come to this store. read more

I recently had my kids' college degrees mounted and framed by Hector. He did a wonderful job and charged a fair price for the professional work he did unlike the corporate giants who don't have the same passion for their work or concern for their professional reputation. The added touch was him walking them out to the car for me, which was not necessary, but much appreciated! For all of your framing needs see Hector! read more

I recently purchased 20 pieces of art that I needed framed. I visited several stores in the Fremont and Newark areas in search of a reputable business to help me with my project (including another well rated framing business in the Fremont area). Hector was very honest, professional, treated me with respect, and gave me a great price to boot. Unlike the store in the Fremont area, Hector didn't try to win my business through aggressive sales tactics (threatening to raise prices on a customer after a quote has been given is just not the way to operate a business). 3rd Millenium Gallery is a family run business that operates with integrity and produces high quality work. If you need any framing work done, pay Hector and his team a visit. You will not be disappointed! read more

I am a budding student and artist and millennium has helped me a lot. I was looking to frame one of my pieces at Michael's and even at 60% off it was so expensive for me and the girl who worked there suggested millennium. I am so satisfied and I plan to come back. The owner really helped me out and I was able to get my painting framed for more than half off that already 60% off Michael's pricing! Support this independent business and forget getting it framed at commercial corporate framing companies. read more
