Richard is a rare breed -- he knows his business. At least 3 framing companies told me a hanger could not be put on my mirrors. Richard put a hanger on all three of them! He can do anything with art -- fixed a wall hanging my daughter had put her name on (you'd never know it was there); added black paint to an abstract painting to cover marks left by tape when I spray painted the frame; added detail by painting a thin line of black on the inside of the frame and painting the outside black which set off the black and white picture nicely: finally, reframed and matted a certificated piece of art beautifully. I am thankful to have found him!!! read more

Richard is great. I brought in a frame along with something I wanted to mount in the frame. He helped replace parts of the frame with better parts. Also, he mounted everything perfectly and added pieces to the back to make the frame hang better. A great experience! He is a real craftsman, excellent at his work. Thanks! read more

Richard went above and beyond on restoring a 17th Century gun piece that had been acquired by my family decades earlier. The guns themselves are fragile 300+ year old wood with iron firing interlays. So just taking the old framing apart was a very delicate job. One of the firing mechanisms had come loose over the years. So Richard meticulously reassembled the gun and left no trace that they had ever come apart. After restoring the guns, Richard then chose a beautiful frame and used invisible type glass so it appears there is no glass on the frame leaving the view without any distortion. The final result was a museum level piece that leaves all who view in totally admiration! So THANK YOU Richard for your incredible work!!! read more

Richard did a great job with the custom shadowbox for a retiring coach. Sewed the jersey to the backing, and coordinated with Action Awards to make the plate. Stayed after work to complete the project on-time. First class craftsmanship and customer service. read more

My trip to Artisans almost cost me a lot of money! I saved over $100.00 once I found out my photo fit my stock frame with a stock glass and stock backing. I was quoted $252.xx out the door from Artisans and I ended up getting in done in under 15 minutes at Hobby Lobby. Do your homework before you go there. I'll give Richard credit, he knows his stuff and he almost had me fooled. Luckily, I pulled the job once I found out it could all be done with stock material. If anyone is interested, I'm happy to send a pic of the finished product Hobby Lobby did for me.... read more

This is the only frame shop you should consider. Your search begins and ends here. I have compared prices and selections and quality of workmanship at many custom framing places and ended up making this my choice. For the past 15 years I have taken all my artwork to Richard and never been disappointed. My largest piece is a gorgeous Chinese watercolor that is 8 1/2 feet long by 5 feet high. We looked for over 20 years for a work that could go on an enormous wall in the living room. We found this work in Guilin, China and loved it. It is the largest artwork Richard has ever framed. He has a huge workshop area, countless number of frames to choose from, and beautiful one-of-a-kind mattes. He gives me choices, but I almost always choose the frame and matte that are his first pick. This original Chinese watercolor is framed perfectly, with Thai silk matte and looks like it belongs in a museum. Richard has framed almost every picture and painting in our home. He is amazingly creative, talented and truly professional. His experience is vast, and is evident in the numerous different types of artwork he frames. Another work of ours that he framed is a 5 1/2 foot cloth piece from Thailand which could not be put under glass. It turned out magnificent. Recently he framed an original artwork by an artist in Austin, which has soft, heavenly clouds in it. Richard chose a frame whose shape is rounded and wavy and reminiscent of the subject (clouds) It is awesome. I took pictures of my wallpaper and furnishings in the room where it was to be hung and Richard created a frame which looks truly custom to the room. I trust him completely and have learned to just say: "Here's the picture. Just do your magic." And he does. He is absolutely wonderful! read more
