Kevin does excellent, friendly, economical, and prompt work! My late brother left me a photo sculpture of a German Shepherd. The gift means a lot to me. But, sometime in the past, it had been damaged: the photo - which was mounted on plastic and then cut with a table saw around the silhouette of the dog - had been scratched. After explaining exactly how he would fix the sculpture - by superimposing a new photo print over the existing image, cut to fit the existing plastic silhouette perfectly - Kevin did this challenging precision work in one day flat, for a very reasonable price. It is flawless, like new, and I am extremely happy. My highest review for this exceptional craftsman! read more

Went to Midtown framing over the holidays to get a print framed for my 13 yr old daughter. I had found an art piece in San Francisco that I thought she would love. I really wanted to have it framed in a frame that was hanging in her nursery when we brought her home from the hospital. Only problem, the art piece was in a rectangle shape and the fame was a square. Kevin was friendly and very knowledgeable. He assured me he could cut the art piece so that it could fit in the frame without losing any of its integrity. He was right. The end result was perfect! My daughter loved it and even though it was the holidays and the store was always buzzing when I was in there...Kevin got the project done in just a couple days. We'll be redecorating her room this weekend and finding the perfect place to hang it! Thank you Kevin for adding some ease to my holiday season and for making my vision a reality! read more

Kevin is absolutely wonderful to work with. We came in with an extremely tight deadline for framing 3 pieces, and not only was Kevin able to accommodate our timeline, he offered to resize, fix and reprint our large format wedding photo on the spot, which made such a huge improvement to both the quality and look of our print! We're so grateful to have found Kevin and Midtown Framing. Kevin, you truly went above and beyond on our project - thank you so much! Megan + David read more

Put out a filler using the 'projects' feature on the Yelp review and decided to go with Kevin at Midtown Framing. The project at hand was something very special; a framed collage of signatures, accompanied by corresponding photos of Sacramento King's legends. This was gifted to my girlfriend by her nephew and his wife for her birthday. Unfortunately, my son and I broke the glass while horse playing. Kevin explained the cost and price difference for each option to replace the now nonexistent glass with. Midtown Framing took immediate care of the frame and replaced the glass in less than 24 hours. The turnaround here couldn't have been quicker. Kevin even messaged me to let me know that he would be opening the shop for a little bit on a Saturday and pickup was possible. Overall my experience with Midtown Framing was smooth and stress free. I will be returning for any and all future framing needs. read more

This place is fantastic and I will definitely be coming here for all my framing and printing needs. They were super helpful and honest about the quality of a photo I wanted to have printed when the resolution wasn't high enough and helped me pivot to something else. They printed, framed, and put the glass on incredibly quickly when I was working under a tight deadline. Despite being quick, they still paid attention to detail and made sure everything looked perfect. I would highly recommend this local, family-owned business to anyone. read more

Took 2 very special items to be framed and was pleasantly impressed by Kevin's vast knowledge of frames. I never knew how much goes into frame work, but I absolutely loved the work Kevin did! He recommended the perfect frame colors, glass and backgrounds and the pieces both turned out stunning! So happy! read more

9.3.2020 Kevin, owner of Midtown Framing, created the most stunning custom koa frame with sub frame. My family and I love, love, love this koa frame. This completes our house! . Kevin gave my husband and I excellent frame choices. We wanted a koa frame or something similar because we know the cost of koa. Kevin was patient and extremely helpful. We appreciated that he let us choose which specific frame size. He gave us a projected date of when this project would be done. We were pleasantly surprised that it was completed a week earlier than promised. Tip: An appointment with Kevin is necessary because of this COVID-19 situation. Safety precautions honored. Tip: We highly recommend Kevin! read more

I had ordered a square print, so I needed a frame made. I read great reviews here and I was happy I went to Midtown Framing. They are helpful and can do anything, you have an old metal from your grandfather that he won in the war? You have a key from your first house? You have a square print? They can frame all of those things. I had a weird print size and I had a frame and I needed the mat to be cut just a few inches smaller to fit. After I called and scheduled a time to go in I took the print, the frame and the mat in. They cut me a mat that fit the frame and the print perfectly and they didn't try to sell me a custom frame which I appreciated. They really do it all and go above and beyond to get you what you want. I'll be going here for all my mat/framing needs in the future. Top notch service and high quality work! COVID update: they only let one person in the shop at a time and please wear a mask. I HIGHLY recommend calling before to schedule a time to go in for the safety of staff and customers. read more

Patient, knowledgeable, and very skilled. High quality work and overall a great experience with Midtown Framing!

KEVIN is amazing!!! He framed my photo and had me all finished within 10 minutes!!! Keep in mind I didn't need to purchase an extra frame at all because I had my own but he reinforced my original screws with extra strength ones and my photo looks beautiful! Now I can safely add the extra touches I want! I will DEFINITELY be back again! As an artist this local location is a jewel and needs to be preserved! Great customer service!! Thanks Mid Town Framing! read more

Kevin responded to my email inquiry right away and answered all the questions I had. I originally wanted a custom print framed but since I wanted something simple he recommended that I can find a frame cheaper than what they offered. It was an honesty I appreciated and I was able to find the exact frame I was looking for and saved the $$. They were still able to print on great quality paper and had it ready for me in less than a week. When I walked in I saw everything they had to offer and I'll definitely be returning for future needs!! read more

I had an antique family photo, but there was no glass protecting it. The gentleman here (I'm sorry, but I've forgotten his name) found glass to fit the photo and the original frame. The new glass looks antique. It's as if it's always been a part of the piece. Now, this family heirloom looks as good as the story behind it. I'm beyond happy. read more

I went into Midtown Framing on September 9th at around noon to get a jersey framed. I was quickly greeted and helped. I explained my desires to frame a jersey and Gary walked me through the entire process. He helped me pick out the frame, the matting, the glass, the specific jersey layout and overall size. Gary took the time to lay out my jersey and put my selected frame and matting around the jersey to get a preview of what it would look like. Gary spent at least 45 minutes with me as I chose exactly what I wanted. Gary explained to me how the size of the frame and presentation of the jersey would affect cost. He was upfront with me about total cost and what cost cutting measures I could take if desired. Fastening the jersey to the backing was labor intensive. They actually sew the jersey to the backing for better preservation. This was one of the more expensive portions of the total cost. I chose museum glass which added an additional $120 from the other glass options. I also got lifted matting to compliment the red/gold colors of the niners. With these add ons and a dimension size of 32" x 40" my total cost was $642.00. Gary answered all my questions and explained any process or cost I was unfamiliar with. I sincerely appreciated all the time that was spent helping me create the exact shadowbox I wanted. I picked up the framed jersey in October and it was exactly like I had requested. If you want to get a jersey framed and pay for a good product then I'd recommend Midtown Framing. read more

I would guess just about everyone within 500 miles who ever needs framing done for photos and paintings has discovered the excellent work that Kevin does at Midtown Framing. You might not know that Midtown Framing actually does printing as well as framing, and Kevin is every bit as good at making great prints of all sizes. I take all my photo files, many for very large prints, to Kevin. He listens, he helps consider the possibilities and he delivers perfect prints and mounting. I am so grateful to have Kevin and his dad on the job. read more

Wow. I'm almost suffering from writer's block as to what to say about this place. We had a beautiful painting that was done by an artist friend of ours. It was going to be the center art piece in our living room so we wanted it to be nice, not to mention preserved as it will be a piece that gets passed down. We checked out some of the other framing places in Sac and finally decided upon Midtown Framing. They did an amazing job. They're professional, friendly and absolutely know what they're doing. They'll explain the process to you and offer you frames within a variety of price ranges. It's great to know that small businesses like this exist and I plan to help keep it that way. I will undoubtedly use their business going forward. Oh...if you post a review on Yelp...they'll give you a discount too! Thanks MT Framing! Pics to follow after I hang up the finished product this weekend. read more

I love this place. I have taken a number of items there and it is so worth it to have them frame artwork with care. There are tons of options that they will help with for the frames mats, etc. They even somehow managed to straighted out my unfortunately crinkled delicate paper art from my trip to China. Beautiful and worth the cost for custom framing. read more

Midtown Framing - Amazing job on my crinkled delicate paper art from China and I loved the way they framed the small painting above it. - Framing Near Me - Sacramento, California

Kevin was a dream to work with. I live in San Francisco, and had an art show lined up at B. Sakata Garo in Sacramento. I got my 14 large frames quoted in San Francisco, and the price was three times what Kevin at Midtown Framing quoted me. I'm so glad I called Midtown Framing. Not only did my frames turn out beautifully, but they even delivered the framed artwork so I wouldn't have to make a special trip from San Francisco. I give Kevin and Midtown Framing 5 stars, well deserved! read more

Thanks to the folks at Midtown Framing for this 84" framed mirror, along with 2 non-framed beveled mirrors for our bathroom renovation project. They were competitively priced and easy to work with. We picked the frame after reviewing several samples at home. They recommended and attached the Z-bar hanging system that our contractor was able to install easily. They estimated the framing would be completed in three weeks and it was. We will come back for other framing needs. read more

I recently had a number of items framed here, and the father-son team at Midtown Framing did an outstanding job. The frames and matting were perfect, and the interior of all the pieces was speck-free. They also gave me a good deal because I was getting a lot of stuff framed. Just really professional, really great customer service, and great craftsmanship. I know what I'm talking about because when I was younger I worked in a high-end frame shop for a year and did everything (design, making the frames, matting, etc). I highly recommend this place for anyone interested in quality framing. Plus, you're supporting a small business - always a good thing to do. read more

This place is awesome. I took them a very important NY Yankees jersey that was signed by players. I wanted it framed to surprise my boyfriend, but I needed it done in 2 days... Yikes... Luckily, they were able to do it, no problem. Kevin even came and hung it for me. It looks amazing and every time I see it I'm so glad I found Midtown Framing. If you have artwork you care about and want framed, bring it to this place. read more

Amazing work, super fast! And on top of that they were incredibly helpful. Did I mention they have an insane selection. Want a frame made out of fine china? They've got your back, Ming Dynasty. Want some traditional ass wood? Aw yea, your shit about to look like it belongs in a Tahoe cabin. Or you can just do a basic grey, and channel your basic bitch like I did. They even cold pressed my print in the frame! I don't know what that means but it looks dope. Want something you're going to have forever? Come here. Or order a frame online and have your guests silently judge your crooked picture. I guess you won't know so it doesn't matter. read more

I brought my diploma here to be framed and Kevin was fantastic. He set out some choices that people typically use for diplomas and was very kind and patient while I had him pull just about every other frame off the wall. He walked me through which mat choices would look best with each frame and I ended up getting what I love. My diploma looks amazing. Thank you Kevin! read more

I've been having artwork (mostly screenprints posters) custom framed since 1999, but I've only had Midtown Framing perform my custom framing since last year. In the past, I had exclsively used Michaels and Aaron Bros because of their constant 50% or more sales. Yet, I don't see myself ever going back to the Michaels/Aaron Bros. (same parent company) ever again. I had gone there for a number of years, mainly because certain stores had framers experienced in dealing with large format vintage posters, but as they were ALL eventually pushed out by incompetent store managers, I had stopped having custom framing done by 2007. I did some research on framers last year after my "go to" frame shop in El Dorado Hills disappeared off the face of the earth suddenly. One day the shop in EDH was there, then one the shop was entirely empty. Weird. The last few years I have needed custom framing for photography entered for competition. Depending on my mood (and budget), I've gone simple white mats and black wood frames to more elaborate mats and frames. I don't feel pressured by any upsell. And what I learned is that Midtown Framing is not any more expensive than those big box framers, but I have the advantage of the design and framing expertise of the father-son team at Midtown. I am notorious for taking a very long time to pick my mats and frame styles. An hour for one photograph? Entirely possible. The great thing now is I can verbalize an idea to Kevin (the son) and he'll start pulling out frame styles to match that idea. I enjoying asking him why he prefers a style and getting an actual informed response. It's almost comedic now to see me pulling what I think are great frame styles for my idea only to see Kevin's choices and quickly putting my frame samples back on the wall. Most orders can be completed within two weeks. Discounts for artists and/or multiple custom frame orders. Framing: 5 P/C: 4.5 Service: 4.75 read more

So this is random but I've actually only used midtown framing for their notary services! They are only a block from my house and I needed a lot of documents notarized.

I finally decided to take a few photos that I purchased to be framed. Living in midtown, and a few blocks away from this store, I walked with 3 photos to frame. Gary, who is in business with his son, was at the counter to help me. I couldn't believe how much thought goes into framing a photo! Fortunately, Gary is AN EXPERT! Thankfully so, cause I have never had anything framed before. He spent over 2 hours with me going through ALL of the options of frames,matte, glass and much more. He said I seemed genuinely interested in the process so he wanted to show me all my options, and I'm extremely glad I did. I find myself looking around my house for things to bring to Gary to frame, and can't wait to get my photos. I know they are going to look great, and I will update my post when i get them. I have to add, i felt i left the store with a new friend in Gary. He's that friendly. I can't wait to go back! read more

Can't say enough great stuff about these guys. Kevin is awesome... high quality work, product and service. They go the extra mile to get what you need if something has to be ordered. They will make a quick turnaround happen in the event you need something on short notice. The quality is second to none. Honestly, these guys do museum quality work. You will love your final product. They've done diplomas, awards, family photos, and more for me. I'll never go anywhere else, and I will recommend them every time to anyone looking for framing needs. read more

Midtown Framing did an exquisite job of framing a century old crocheted collar that belonged to my grandmother. Now, rather than it spend another 80 years in a box, it will be displayed and enjoyed. The workmanship is impeccable, the recommendations for matting and framing are spot on. The owners are as nice as can be, and pricing is fair. They have an extensive selection of frames and mats. Parking is available in front of the store. Please support this local, small business owner when you are looking for framing. I will always take my business to Midtown Framing. read more

Wow, what an incredible experience start to finish. I was so grateful for Kevin's expertise around color correction for two different pieces of work I needed printed for Christmas gifts.

I had never had anything framed before, but I could not have had a better experience. I wanted to custom frame my sister's wedding invitation as her wedding gift. The wedding was beach-themed, and I came to Midtown Framing with a vague idea of framing the invitation with shells and other beachy items that I bought at a craft store and brought in. I should add that I had a quick turnaround; I needed the frame completely done within a week. Kevin and his dad immediately brought out sample frames and mats they thought went with my theme, and what they suggested was perfect. I left my materials there and trusted them with arranging the shells, and within a day Kevin emailed me a picture of a potential layout. I made some slight tweaks and gave them the go-ahead to put it all together. Within a few days it was done, and the result was absolutely stunning. They knew I had to take the frame on a cross-country plane ride, so Kevin protectively wrapped it and it survived the trip, no problem. My sister and her husband loved it. As far as pricing goes, I can't really say whether it was a "good deal" because I don't have anything to compare it to (virgin framer here). I paid what I expected to pay, and it was totally worth it (I believe I paid around $270, which included frame, mat, shadowbox, and the labor it took to carefully glue tiny shells all over the place). They were professional, creative, timely, and gave me exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend for all your framing needs! read more

I am staying near Sacramento on a trip in the US and needed to have a fine art print made to ship to a client. I happened to stumble upon Midtown framing and had a quick chat with Kevin about how to go forward. I sent them the file to have a proof made, which was ready the day after they got the file. The proof was right on the mark in the first go and I approved it and instructed Kevin to go on with the print. The print was also ready very fast. I checked the print before shipping it to sign & number it and the quality of the print was absolutely gorgeous! I cannot recommend these guys enough. read more

I've been going to Midtown for a few years now. They are friendly, professional, and helpful. I am writing this review during the coronavirus "lockdown" because I wanted to give them a special shout-out for their personalized customer service.

But Midtown Framing completed the work and then called and offered to personally deliver my framed photo. What service! read more

Absolutely fantastic customer service! I had Midtown Framing complete a custom frame holding a US Flag that I had flown for my parents over Afghanistan on an operational mission while I was a pilot in the Air Force. They helped me design the frame, but said that a job like this was going to take several weeks and probably wont be ready in time for the holidays as they were quite busy....but low and behold, I received a phone call the following week telling me that the frame was ready to be picked up! Thanks very much for the work in getting that done...greatly appreciated and I would recommend these guys to anyone looking for a wonderful framing job! read more

The father son team really took time to walk us through our framing options and cut us what we felt like was a great deal on quite a unique job. They helped us choose a matting, frame, insets, etc...and made it fun in the process. We framed three concert posters from a three day run at the Greek Theater and the frame job is as much a piece of art as the posters they display. Thanks guys, we will definitely be back for more! read more
