    I'm in the process of moving so I wanted a refresh on my framed posters and paintings. Athena and the team at LA Art Exchange surprised me because, unlike the typical neighborhood frame shop, this place does museum-quality work. Seriously, I was blown away by how good my pieces look. They did an amazing floating frame on a painting. My posters are in wooden frames and they could now easily hang in any gallery. Fortunately, they'll be hanging in my new home soon and I can't wait. In transparency, craftsmanship like this doesn't come cheap. The results are worth it, though. These pieces will stay with me for the rest of my life. Although I no longer live in LA, I'll drive for hours to bring more pieces here for proper framing.

    I had two pieces I entrusted to LA Art Exchange for a significant amount of money. The first was a poster that they framed in a conventional manner; good work, no complaints. The second was a poster that I've had for nearly 40 years that had been museum-mounted. I was talked into a mounting that has been less than successful, warping twice in hot weather and never returning to a completely flat shape, something I was not warned about. My major complaint is that I twice emailed LA Art Exchange (with photos) about this issue and received no response to either email -- a major fail and the reason that I would not recommend them.

    I'm not sure how we found this place. We've been using them for the last two years and everything has gone pretty smoothly. On the one occasion that a mistake was made they fixed it right away and with no charge to us. Good job! We plan to stick with this company.

    Beautiful Work and Excellent Service -- A Local Business Worth Supporting…read more I recently had one of my oil paintings (about 24 x 16 inches) framed at Alan Jeffries Frame Store on Santa Monica Boulevard and 26th Street, and I couldn't be happier with the result. The staff was very helpful and patient, taking the time to guide me through the process and helping me choose the perfect wood frame to complement my artwork. The framing took a little over three weeks, which was slightly longer than I expected, but it was absolutely worth the wait. When I picked it up yesterday, the finished piece looked beautiful -- clearly crafted with care and attention to detail. The cost was a bit higher than I had hoped (a little over $300), but the quality of the materials and craftsmanship really shows. These days, everything seems to be more expensive, and in this case, you definitely get what you pay for: premium quality framing. I also want to mention how important it is to support small, local businesses like this one. Unlike big corporate framing chains, Alan Jeffries feels personal, thoughtful, and part of the community. I truly hope shops like this continue to thrive in our neighborhood. I highly recommend Alan Jeffries Frame Store to anyone looking for expert framing, personalized service, and a truly beautiful final product.

    STAY AWAY from Charles' Custom Picture Framing!!…read more If I could put zero stars instead of one, I would for the dishonesty!! I sell art, and one of my pieces was advertised as already framed in a two-inch-wide black lacquered frame, but it had scratches and wasn't suitable for my sale. To meet my customer's request to keep the same size and uphold my own standards, I decided to have it reframed. After calling several framers who didn't have the exact size, I finally found Charles' Custom Picture Framing. Charles, the owner, assured me over the phone that he had a two-inch shiny black lacquered frame and could customize it for my piece. When I went to pick it up, the frame looked smaller than two inches, so I asked him to measure it. It turned out to be only 1¾ inches wide, not the two inches I paid for. When I brought this up, he insisted I had seen it beforehand and offered no empathy or solution. I was charged $382 for a two-inch frame, which is a lot of money for a frame that didn't even include glass or plexiglass, and received something smaller than promised. Because of this, I may lose my sale. This experience felt dishonest, unprofessional, and disappointing. I would not recommend Charles' Custom Picture Framing to anyone.

He took his time, was thoughtful and creative, and treated the piece with real care and respect. Even though the initial option we discussed was outside of my current budget, Nino went above and beyond by offering alternative ideas and sound direction that were incredibly helpful and still honored the sentiment of the piece. That level of care and attention meant everything to me. While this project didn't fit the budget this time around, I will absolutely be back for any future framing needs. I am highly impressed by the customer service, the willingness to listen, and the genuine effort to "frame" a client's story in a way that feels personal and thoughtful.
