I just picked up about a dozen pieces I've had framed at Orion and unwrapping each one was like Christmas morning -- the work is just breathtakingly good, especially when they are floating a piece, the way they do it is so invisible and organic and gorgeous. The team members are so intuitive, creative, gracious and kind; I'm honestly looking forward to buying my next piece of art so I can work with the Orion team again on framing it! read more

I'm very happy with the service supplied by Orion Framing. not only are they near by, but there're also top notch. The owner has an uncanny ability to focus on one's needs at a laser pace. I am an artist, my work is 3 dimensional - without seeing the work in person, Micah zeroed in on the structural needs immediately without me having to over explain. He's a very smart guy and I'm very happy to have him and his staff as my go-to framers. read more

Orion Custom Framing is a True Gem in San Francisco (that we needed/need). Micah and his team at Orion Custom Framing are a reminder that there are still people and businesses in San Francisco who care deeply about their craft and their customers. As someone who's had the pleasure of working with Micah and his team on multiple projects, I say this with such sincerity and confidence: Micah and his team at both--absolutely breathtaking--studios are not just employees or sales associates, not at all. They're committed, talented craftsmen and artists who genuinely care about bringing your most treasured pieces to life. They do this at an exceptional level because they take time time to know--and care--about *you,* the customer. They source materials from small businesses and artisans, ensuring that every frame is not only beautiful but also unique and meaningful. Their attention to detail is impressive, and their enthusiasm is infectious - I've found myself searching for new pieces to frame just so I can experience the magic of their process again. Micah's expertise is unparalleled, and he takes the time to understand your personal style and preferences. He creates an experience and offers an end result that is reflective of you, the customer, and your personal style, while also bringing the uniqueness of the piece to life in ways you might normally shy away from. Whether it's not realizing what's possible, being afraid to deviate from your usual style, or fearing that a bold or unique framing direction might distract from the art itself, Micah helps you overcome these hesitations. I've had three very different pieces framed in three very different ways, and they all feel like me. Yet, they are choices I never would have confidently made without Micah's expertise and genuine love for bringing things to life. I brought in my first "grown up" piece of art - a 1940-50s oil paint on paper modernist abstract painting by Bay Area painter Calvin Anderson - the piece held a lot of meaning to me because it was my first foray into the medium, but I no idea what to do with it--or how to preserve the piece itself. Micah did. What I walked out with was perfection. The frame and woodwork is so stunning, but doesn't overpower the abstract piece itself. Another piece was an AP from a graffiti artist's UFO, which was a departure from my usual style but incredibly intriguing. Micah knew I was hesitant about how to bring that piece to life while also not feel foreign to me or my personal style. He blended my style with a subtle, yet super interesting mounting and frame material. I walk by it every day and don't see a piece I wouldnt normally own, I walk by it and love it because while it is still art that I normally wouldn't own--I can't imagine my home without. Lastly, an archive print of a very sentimental black and white photo of The Beastie Boys from a 90s Spin Magazine cover shoot brought me to tears when revealed in their studio. Good tears - ha. Orion Custom Framing is more than just a small business or framing studio; it's an experience. If you're looking for a place to bring your treasured pieces to life, I simply cannot recommend Orion Custom Framing with more enthusiasm. Micah and his team will treat you like family, and you'll leave with a piece that's not only beautifully framed but also filled with love and meaning. read more

I have used a number of framing folks before, and when I went to go re-visit one of them (who has since closed for business) was pointed to Micah and the folks at Orion. Got the same recommendation from a number of fine art friends, so glad I listened to their recommendation. I brought in some incredibly cool large photographic prints and got excellent collaboration in finding a good frame, selecting a good matting color and width, and communicative during the framing process. I was thankfully not in a rush, so asked them to take their time. The price was above what I had hoped for, but when I received my final product, totally understood the value provided. Easily recommend anyone with quality framing needs give them business. read more

Orion custom framing is a first class framer. And wonderful frames! I'm an interior designer, and my clients were very pleased with the results! read more

I came here to get one piece of artwork fixed - which was a floating glass frame (40x60). The art had fallen off of the floating frame and I was in dire need of a good framer. The guys here are super professional, and really nice. They fixed my painting, and I am confident it will last for many years. Second I got a painting custom framed. This piece was painted by my uncle who we recently lost- they were able to put a slip on the back with his photo and celebration of life info. They made the painting truly shine. Great job, true professionals - glad I invested in my pieces as I plan to have them for many years to come. Highly recommend. read more

They were a pleasure to work with, and the painting I framed looks beautiful I showed up 15 minutes before closing, and nobody rushed me as I hemmed and hawed about the options (which definitely took longer than 15 minutes). I sent a follow-up note about my order in the evening, and got a reply at 6 AM the next day. read more

You gotta love a great frame...and Orion has the best selection I have ever seen. From the simple to the crazy avant-garde, any look can be achieved. Their staff was professional but friendly and you can tell they are passionate about their business. Micah was very conscientious in our emails and it all went smoothly. Highly recommend them and will find something to reframe sooner rather than later. read more

I needed a frame repaired after a large painting fell. Micha was very helpful and also showed me how I should be hanging it to prevent this happening again. He suggested moving the hardware and even gave me some thin picture wire. I will definitely go back here when I have anything to frame. Highly recommend read more

Orion is my new go-to for framing. I am actually eager to find more stuff to frame after my experience working with Micah and his team. Everyone is incredibly responsive to inquiries. They went above and beyond in advising me on the best way to have the print produced so it looked best framed, they coordinated with the print shop, and then made a great experience when picking a frame. And the selection in their shop is incredible. The work was completed faster than anticipated and the quality is of the highest caliber. Framing is never cheap but I feel like I got great value from the work they did as this is far and away the best framing job I've seen! I will be back. Thank you, Micah and team! read more

I'm a San Francisco-based photographer. I got a large piece (40x40 inches) accepted in a show at a gallery in Palo Alto. The photo was printed and mounted, but not yet framed. When I found out I had been accepted for the show, I had only 3 days till the deadline for delivering it to the gallery! I called Micah at Orion, who I had worked with before. He said, "Sure, no problem." He got the wood ordered, made the frame, and finished the piece within 24 hours! It was gorgeous. And he didn't even charge me a rush charge. Micah is a consummate professional. His work is flawless. His framing suggestions and color sense are always spot-on. He gets artists and enjoys helping them present their work in the best possible way. And he always has a smile on his face. I'll be bringing all my framing work to him in the future. read more

Beautiful selection and really great service. Micah went the extra mile to fix an issue with the artwork and the final piece looks fantastic. read more

Don't have the art back just yet, but so far this is an amazing experience. Micah (owner/framer/musician) is as enthusiastic about capturing your desire for something beautiful thru framing and matting as you could possibly hope for. Bring your piece in and just let him do what he does best. And apparently Orion is the shop where you can bring anything and everything you desire to have preserved and ready to display. Ask him. I will update when we have our pieces ready. Now, the skinny: this is no Cheap Pete's but Dad always said that you get what you pay for so be ready for it. read more

Orion is a very special place. When I read that they provide customized framing services, I decided to ask what could be done to help determine the provenance of a painting. To view the back of the canvas meant separating the oil painting from the frame to which it was nailed. Micah said he could do the work right then without harming the painting. He removed the many nails so I could see the back of the canvas, then, after checking with me, went above and beyond by substituting screws for the nails when putting it back together. That way the frame could be more easily removed in the future. Everything looked as it had when I brought the painting in, only cleaner and more safely wrapped. I am in awe of his skill and feel very lucky that I stumbled into such an exceptional framing shop. read more

Just go there, you won't regret it! My husband and I bought some art while traveling and brought the canvases rolled inside a tube. We researched some about framing places around our house. After making a few calls, I decided to go over and have a consultation with Mika (I hope I'm not misspelling your name) and he was a wonderful person, and a great resource regarding as to types of frames and colors that would match my paintings and why. We decided to go on with him! 4 weeks later, we received our 3 art pieces with a wonderfully stretched canvas framed with amazing quality frames. Definitely recommend this place 100% and would come back when the time comes read more

Framing is an art in and of itself, and Micah, the owner of Orion, understands this. He is WONDERFUL. He has such a fantastic understanding of color, contrast, and texture, and he's genuinely enthusiastic about every piece that comes in. His tremendous creativity might lead to suggestions that seem left-of-center to some, but trust the process, he'll more than likely design something that genuinely *celebrates* your art. Orion, as a shop, seems almost designed to encourage creativity in framing--he has thousands of options for you, but the space is so airy, clean, and timeless, you never feel overwhelmed. So many people view framing as an afterthought, but one trip to Orion, and you'll not only understand the importance of high quality, creative framing, but you'll start looking for new things to frame just so you have an excuse to come back. I'm a professional photographer, with an extensive art background, and admittedly picky tastes. I've worked with Micah for years, and there isn't anyone else I'd even consider working with. Once you work with Micah, that's it, you're done. You're hooked. No one else compares. read more

Great framers with lots of great frame options. Friendly and their work was outstanding.

I won these postcards that I had been looking for pretty much all my life through eBay and decided to get them framed by a pro. I chose Orion because the shop was in my neighborhood but quickly realized Micah and his team were the right people for the job. I had an idea for the arrangement of the first three rows, but Micah helped concept the bottom and did a fantastic job mounting them in a shadowbox. It's beautiful and I spend a lot of my day just standing and looking at it in awe. It was an investment for sure, but well worth it because of the craftsmanship and care. I'll definitely come here again. read more

Beautiful framing, service, and studio. Orion framing truly is at the top of their craft.

We could not be happier. read more

I'm a new customer at Orion Custom Framing, and now I can't imagine taking work anywhere else to be framed in the future! Micah is clearly someone who knows his craft and is serious about framing (high marks on his skill and work quality). He is also able to make framing FUN. His selection of frames, trims, and mats is impressive, and he was able to very quickly get me out of my comfort zone of simple black frames and simple mats. I am impressed by his artist's eye; he looks at each piece of art individually and recommends how to really make it and the frame/mat look amazing together. And the shop is simply beautiful -- I want to take my tea there and hang out! read more

We have worked with Micah for several years, he is the best! As a business, we have always appreciated his professionalism and knowledge in the industry. We are so thrilled that he has opened his own shop! Go visit, it is BEAUTIFUL!! read more

Just took a special art piece into this new shop on Mission to get framed, and the wonderful customer service from the owner Micah deserves a 5* review (and I rarely write reviews). I thought I was going in to do a basic white matte/black frame, and what I ended up with was completely different and next level thanks to Micah's professional guidance. I would have never been able to envision this, and I know it's going to look so awesome. It took me a good hour to decide on the final product, and Micah was so patient and fun during the process. This guy is really good at what he does and I will definitely be using Orion for any future framing needs! read more

I had an old concert poster that was in the back of a closet for over a decade, and I recently took it to Orion to get it framed. It looks AMAZING! All of the recommendations for the mat and frame enhanced the character of the poster, and I plan to hang it somewhere where everyone can see it. It's a total conversation piece in its new frame. read more

This place is a gem. The space is beautiful. And the owner, Micah, is super knowledgeable, friendly, and does fabulous work. Highest recommendation! read more

We had a terrific experience with Micah. He is very knowledgeable and takes frames to the next level. Thank you!

Micah created some beautiful custom frames for us. He went out of his way to help us find the right frames as there are so many options. We're super happy with the result AND the relatively short time frame in which the frames were completed. Can't get much better than this and we can highly recommend! read more
