What excellent customer service and work! I wanted this original fruit crate label from the 1940's professionally framed to help ensure it's preservation over the years. After coming into Carter's 3 times over the course of several months to go over mats, frames and what-not's, I am extremely satisfied with the final product. Chuck did an amazing job, and was very patient with me. He was never pushy, but rather gave helpful and professional opinions, and always said to me, "it's your art, you have to live with it and like it." Carter and Chuck were never rude or irritated with me, and treated my label gently every time I came in. I went to a total of 5 frame shops from Manhattan Beach to Westminster, and these guys were the only ones that truly made me feel valued, and like my art would be in good hands. I even had one frame shop literally throw a glass sample on it, but not Carter's! Every time the guys picked up the label they were consistently gentle. Professional framing is not cheap, and Carter's was not the cheapest of the 5 shops, but far from being the most expensive. For me, it was important to take my art somewhere that I felt comfortable with the work, and the price, and these guys totally delivered on both. I highly recommend Carter's Picture Framing, as these guys will do all they can to ensure great customer service and will treat your art, as their art. read more

Chuck was amazing with helping me decide on a frame for my artwork. I went in with an idea and found what I was looking for, chuck then showed me great recommendations. He also gave me suggestions for other pieces I want to bring in. He's such a gem to the shop. Thank you so much, I'm looking forward to working with them more. read more

I had a hard time finding a good framer in the South Bay area and decided to try out Carter Picture Framing. Chuck was incredibly friendly and helpful, and took the time to lay out different frame and mat options with me. They told me it would take at least 2-2.5 weeks to get the frame but they called me in a week! It wasn't cheap but they did a good job. I'd return and recommend! read more

I totally recommend going here to get your frame work done. Chuck was very helpful in helping me accomplish what I was looking for and with his artistic talent, final frame work was completed with success. Thank you again Chuck! You are amazing. read more

I've had concert posters framed here twice and both times have been a great experience. I appreciated the time Carter took to help me pick out a frame the first time. I loved it so much I got the same frame for 2 new posters. It was so simple to place the new order. I just mentioned I'd been before and my old order was looked up and duplicated. I trust Carter's to provide friendly and knowledgeable customer service and quality craftsmanship. read more

Let me just say, my husband and I had no clue about the framing world and how pricey it can be. But I get it, it's a skill not everyone has. After my upsetting visit with Michaels we took our chance with Carter's Framing. The office space was filled with frames on the wall with relics of the past. The frames that were show cased all had a story... but enough of the office. Mr. Carter the owner totally worked with us and gave us such a great price for the large three piece of pictures. He asked me how much each piece would be worth... and with that we ran with the price we agreed upon and let me say it was very favorable! We will definitely visit Carter Framing for future framing! And he finished the framing in a few days instead of a week or two that most places ask for! Thanks Mr Carter you were awesome!!! read more

Chuck at Carter Picture Framing & Gallery was great! A 46 year old pencil drawing that my husband and I really treasure is now beautifully preserved with acid free backing and museum quality glass. Chuck even fixed a tiny bit of foxing that was on the paper. It was ready for pickup way before the estimated time and the price was right. We'll be taking the companion picture in soon! read more

Carter is very nice, and very passionate about his framing. He's had this business for 30 years, and "can frame anything." He enjoys what he does and always appreciates the art that his customers bring fit him to frame. He is gentle with his recommendations and is never pushy. I enjoyed working with him very much. read more

Carter Picture Framing - Nice frame! - Framing Near Me - Torrance, California

Was getting some money out of the bank and as I looked up across the street I saw picture framing and thought hmmm let's see how much they would charge me to frame a very special picture my oldest grandson drew for me. I could have gone to Michael's or Aaron brothers and did it myself but sometimes you just need to have a pro do things I went in and met Chuck and we both hit it off He gave me some ideas and a quote and I said I would be back. Well I got home and got the card and went right back. Chuck showed me some variations and he listened to my concerns and explained and showed me WHY I should do the colors this way and that. Anyway he said it would be about a week, I told him to take his time as I wasn't in a hurry and Bam, two days later he calls me and says it's ready . Thanks for everything Chuck!! We will do business again sir! read more

This was exactly the framing store I was hoping to find. Louis patiently guided and helped me find what I was looking for and I couldn't be happier with the result. A 10/10 experience. read more

I cannot say enough nice things about Carter's. I was looking for a local framer to do a good job on a print that I wanted to surprise for my husband. I felt listened to in my design ideas but also felt glad for the input given to really make sure my piece came out perfect. All the details were given to me thoroughly so I knew what the finish product would be, the pricing, the options in glass and the timeline. The frame was done quicker than promised which was a nice surprise and my expectations were exceeded in the quality of work. I will be back for all my art work to be taken care of by this lovely company. Thank you to everyone at the company! I am now a customer for life! read more

Carter Picture Framing - Framing Near Me - Torrance, California

I got two pieces of art framed here. Chuck is the man! He has an excellent eye (he's an artist) and really helped me choose colors and framing that bring out the best in the pieces I bought. I also love that this is a mom and pop shop. The level of care, customer service, and intention is always valuable to me. When I find a good place, I stick to it. This is my spot for all my framing needs moving forward. read more

These guys are great, quick and easy. Not inexpensive, but would you trust your art or memories to the average framer?

PLEASE HEAR ME OUT! Carter Framing is hand's down the best framing store around, both in quality of work and pricing! We shopped around two extremely large framing projects, and were met with astronomical quotes and some folks also listed in nearby top Yelp reviews didn't even want to take on the project. Carter not only embraced the challenge immediately, but they came in far less than competitors....AND were meticulous throughout the process; even offering pick-up and delivery of the final pieces. I'm telling you, their customer service is BEYOND, their attention to detail is BEYOND and their affordability is BEYOND. Lou and Chuck are cut from an old-school cloth of providing value and quality, results in success. They have my framing business for life, promise. read more

Great service. I had one of my wedding photos shipped from texas and it was damaged along the way. These guys were able to combine 2 frames to create a perfect masterpiece. Couldn't be happier! Thanks fellas! read more

Man knows his line of work and an excellent framer. He can explain in detail what he is doing and anything you want to achieve. He charges decent prices for his framing work, but if you never done framing before, be aware it is expensive. But if you really want to preserve whatever it is, having a nice framing job is the way to go read more

I found this business on the net, not yelp, so I just went by to check it out and see if they could frame a print of mine. I was so impressed with the owner, Louis Carter, that I returned with 3 more prints for him to frame. He is patient, polite and knowledgeable. Louis is a Navy man and former engineer, so his work is very precise. He completed the job early and I was very pleased with the results. He is top notch. And like the other reviewer stated, he isn't cheap, but if you value your print, picture or item, it would be worth it. Oh, and check out his website, it's moving. read more

Great service and nice people. It is always comfortable to visit the Carter Framing. Thank you guys!

They will get my business from now on. I purchased a very special print that I felt deserved very special framing so I took it to Carter and was not disappointed. They did an exceptional job, in a very short amount of time, for the right price. read more

Carter Picture Framing - Very special print by Greg Mankis - Framing Near Me - Torrance, California

I needed a painting framed which was worth $500 and he was going to charge me $350 to frame it. I had liked this bronze metallic frame and asked for him to check and see if he has any. He asked me to come with him cuz he wouldn't let me stay in the front of the shop and wait for him, thinking as if I'm going to steal something. So I gathered my stuff and went with him to the back. We found the metal for the frame and asked him how much for just the frame and he refused to answer how much just the frame would be. After that I told him I have the rest of the stuff, I just need the frame. To which he replied that," Im in the business of framing not selling frames". That was rude enough and I knew I should take my business elsewhere. I've just ordered the same frame from Amazon for a $100. So just saved myself $250 and the bloody hassle of dealing with a rude business owner. It would be wiser for a business owner to work with the customer cuz I'm not going to pay for a frame which is almost the same as the painting in it. He would've made some money but nop. So the one star is cuz he said he gave me a discount. I needed other pictures framed, but I'd rather take my business elsewhere. Thanks. read more

I got help with 3 pieces items I wanted to get framed to my condo. As I was going back to Sweden the next day. He framed all the 3 pieces so that I could get it the same day I was leaving L.A. I am so happy that I find this place on yelp. I'll be back with some new photos I want to frame when I get back to L.A. Thank you so much for all the help. Greetings from South Lapland, Sweden. read more

Wow, Lou is the most knowledgeable man in this field. He can literally do anything with framing, setting, decorating, reducing, expanding-you name it. His shop has more equipment than typical too which makes him far more versatile. I have given him High School graduation diplomas and seen him perform extremely high quality work. I highly recommend Lou. read more

I found this business as I was driving through old town Torrance near my new office. I had a couple of things that I needed framing and decided to support the local business and give it a try. The owner, Louis Carter, was extremely helpful as I only had a general idea of what I wanted. He used his creativity to guide me and come up with the final product. The final result exceeded my expectations and was turned in only a couple of days at my request. Louis knows his stuff and is very pleasant to deal with. I would highly recommend using him for any of your framing needs. A great product and service at a fair price - you cannot ask for much more. read more

Everything about the store was first class. He listened to what I wanted, made some great suggestions for frames and mats and was reasonably priced. The certificates I had framed looked great and were ready at the promised. I would recommend this place to everyone and I will be back the next time I need something framed. read more

Met with Lou, went over choices and he delivered in very good time with very good product. Highly recommend.

Mr. Carter did a superb job with framing my large painting. I'm delighted with the quality, the timeliness and the value of his work. Rex
