I had my diploma framed here, and James did a fantastic job! He has a HUGE variety of frames to choose from, all of them on a big velcro wall so you can pull off the frame samples and compare them. It's clear that he's super experienced, and worth every penny. He walked me through the typical options for diplomas, the usual frame types, and matting. It gave me a good reference point for what I eventually chose. Prices are great. It's absolutely worth paying a little bit extra to have a well-built frame with good materials, especially since it also supports a local business. The frame also came wired, and with the hardware to hang it up. read more

Recently purchased a Prince canvas print that needed framing. Jumped on Yelp and found this place. James was very helpful and friendly. It took a week to get my picture framed, but I'm happy with it. He even includes the picture hanger that goes into the wall. How cool is that? They have tons of frames and different types of glass to choose from. Highly recommend James if you need something framed. Located next to McDonalds in a small shopping center. read more

I had some time on my hands and did some digging into my mother's parents' history. I found the ship and the manifests for them both. James put them together with amazing results. My mom was beaming with joy to see their names. I also found a photo of her dad when he got to Ellis Island and James put that together with a colorized photo of her mom and dad with amazing results again. I came in with an idea and James brought it to reality. The results did not disappoint. read more

This review is long overdue- James has framed our art work, paintings and documents for the last two years when we found his amazing selection of frames. But the true talent is his design! Taking damaged 1940 advertisements from my grandparents grocery store to create a spectacular framed art piece that will be cherished forever. Thank you! Dawn read more

George and Jim created three beautiful frames of Michael Jackson as Charlie Chaplin. I had the honor of purchasing these photos from Michael's photographer and Jim handled them with special care and created a beautiful triptych of these images. They bring me so much joy and I'm so grateful for his skill and mastery! Thank you Jim! I have a new project for you so you will see me soon! read more

This is my second frame that I've had made at Holmes custom framing. My first was with the prior owner, but I just recently came in and met the new owner James. He was very courteous and helpful, and provided excellent service. I'm very happy with the outcome of my frame and feel that James puts a lot of care and effort into his work like the previous owner and is continuing the good name and legacy of this store. I will continue to go to this store for my framing needs, even though it's 30 minutes from my home, because of the excellent service! read more

Holmes Custom Picture Framing is fantastic, and I highly recommend this business. George is a kind, funny, and thoughtful man that truly cares about his work. My wife and I came in to get two posters framed, and George worked with us directly to pick frames that would suit our taste and, perhaps more importantly, our pocket books. Furthermore, he did an amazing job. He actually managed to flatten out our old, beaten up posters, which we had previously taped to the wall, then placed in cheap frames as a temporary solution. The fact that he was able to get them to lie flat has improved their look significantly, and the frames are gorgeous to boot. Thanks again George, hat's off to you. -Brandon and Brittnee :) read more

The store is organized and very cool! The owner was super friendly and helpful with tips on material options, pricing, and ways to display and frame a large poster I needed done. Would highly recommend. read more

I went to Holmes on a Friday afternoon with a couple of last minute projects. James stopped what he was doing and finished them for me exactly the way I wanted. Very reasonable pricing. I was so glad I went there and will definitely go back for any framing or pictures needs. Thank you James! read more

My friend George Holmes retired and left his business in the capable hands of another true artisan of the craft James Gorman. Can't say enough about his beautiful work. If you need it done and hung in style he's your man. It's a damn sight beyond Aaron Brothers! read more

We received an authentic Persian rug from Iran as a wedding gift. George helped us pick out the frame and matte, and checked with us regarding the value of the rug before attempting to mount it. His original idea for keeping the tassels in place did not look great, so his wife hand sowed each one so that the presentation would be perfect. I will be back the next time I have a piece to frame. read more

Holmes Custom Picture Framing - George helped us pick the frame and matte. His wife hand-sowed the tassels so they stay in place. They were very respectful of the value. - Art Galleries Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I found this frame shop on Yelp to frame my masters degree. George is great! He is very personable & uses high quality materials. He did such a great job I brought two other jobs which were framed pictures of my grandmothers, one needed cleaning & the other needed a new back hanging. George gave me clear instructions so my frames won't break if there's an earthquake or if someone knocks them. Incredible job! Thanks George Holmes! read more

Brought in a very old piece for James to frame and let me tell you, he knocked it out of the park. He made us a museum quality piece. Would recommend this business to anyone. Will definitely be back. Thank you again! read more

We've been having George do basic black framing on movie and TV posters for us for a few years now, but recently had him do a couple of bigger projects on some art for our home. George has a great eye and makes excellent recommendations on color and style that work well with the art, but I think his greatest asset is his ability to listen to the customer and let their personal tastes dictate his recommendations. One of the pieces we were able to settle on quickly, but the other took us a good LOOONG while in his shop going back and forth between many different matte/frame combinations. George was very patient and very helpful through the process. After we left and he began bringing in the materials, the frame that we had taken so long to decide on was not available in the length needed from the original distributer. Instead of informing us it was unavailable and asking us to choose another he spent the time to track down pieces from several different places in the country till he had enough for the frame! The art looks great on our walls and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Go see George for your framing needs! read more

I got two prints framed here and they turned out amazing. He took time with me to talk me through different options and explained everything I will be going back soon read more

I submitted three late 19th, early 20th century family pictures for custom framing and preservation. James the owner, carefully discussed with me what would be the best way to display and preserve them. His service was excellent, and his workmanship in producing these three framed items, was outstanding. He cares deeply for his product and treats those subjects as though they were his own. I wholeheartedly recommend him for this type of work as well as for other items such as art prints, paintings, etc. James has excellent people and communication skills as well. Great work, and thanks!!! read more

I always went to George for picture framing when I lived in Simi. Now that I live in Ventura I drive back to Simi just to see George because I trust him with my artwork. As the framing cost three times as much as the art I'm gonna have to subtract off half a point for not helping me carry it to the car... But everyone loves George read more

I came here some years ago to get a poster framed that I had purchased on our cruise. George was very friendly and very knowledgeable. He took the time to help me pick out a frame that went well with the poster, but also one that I liked. He had such a large selection of frames that we went through several different ones before I found just the right one. Once I picked out the frame we moved on to the backing, and then whether I wanted glass or plastic in front. Overall it was a very pleasurable experience, and years later my poster still looks great! read more
