Excellent work and craftsmanship by this little shop. I had an annual work-related event that called for about 20 or so large picture frames. They wanted the same exact look and material as was used by a previous vendor. PPF not only found the same frame material, but they were able to perfectly replicate the mat board used for each frame. And the pricing? They beat our previous vendor by a couple grand. Can't complain at all about that. Only minor gripe is that ordering and billing is old school here. Invoices are hand written on NCR. Probably could use an upgrade in this regard. Would give customers a little peace of mind knowing your order isn't going to be lost. Other than that, would definitely recommend! read more

I've been eyeballing this place for years but apprehensive to bother. Especially knowing quotes from places like Michael's. I just couldn't afford that. One day I decided to just suck it up and bring a couple of posters I've been wanting to get framed and a frame that needed glass. Chris was very helpful in keeping within our budget and providing options of frames to best match the room we were hanging it in. When my husband and I came in to pick it up same day, Brian? checked us out. He even touched up the frame we brought in. But wowww! I can't even describe to you how amazing the work was. I highly recommend this place! read more

Here's the situation. I had a photograph that I recently had enlarged to place on an easel at my wife's upcoming memorial. When I receive the enlargement, it became clear that a frame was going to be necessary. It measured 24" x 30". I began calling around somewhat panicked because I needed to have this done ASAP as the memorial was the following day. Enter Chris at Pasadena picture framing. He literally opened up his shop for me and helped me to choose the perfect frame which he custom-made within an hour. I recommend Pasadena picture framing for all of your framing needs without reservation. See framed photo posted here. I received many compliments at the memorial regarding how well the frame suited the photo. read more

I was absolutely blown away by the craftsmanship that every single individual has who works at this shop. I brought in three paintings from my recent trip to Guatemala, I came in not knowing what to expect, after meeting Chris and getting recommendations I felt incredibly confident leaving my precious paintings behind with him. The variety of frames available, quality and transparency in pricing made it a great experience. I'm forever a fan! read more

Fabulous experience! Such a variety of choices and a very experienced explanation of what would be best, especially because I had no idea what I was doing. I will definitely be doing any other framing here, as well as recommending to my friends. read more

Needed a canvas print framed. We wanted something done right since this picture meant a lot to us. Chris helped us on our first visit. He understood our financial concerns and was very patient and gave us plenty of options. He also recommended what he thought would look best with the print. Very happy with the result! Had to wait about 5 weeks, but you can't rush perfection. Thank you! read more

Chris is one of the best and most genuine people out there hands down. Fixed my frame, cleaned it for me and secured the diploma inside all without charge, can't thank him enough. 10/10 read more

Chris is the owner of this valuable and useful establishment. He was in on a Sunday afternoon and took two of my paintings to be framed. Not only did he share his expertise and knowledge during our initial conversation, but he also completed all the work on time and even stepped above the call of duty. Bonus for free delivery! read more

Absolutely thrilled with my experience with Pasadena Framing. Came in for a semi elaborate and very last minute custom frame, and they not only did a beautiful job, but had it ready two hours earlier than expected. Brittany is great and Chris the owner went out of his way to make it happen while keeping it real and exceeding expectations. Will definitely be going back for anything else I need framed. read more

Let me start by saying Richart and Chris were so patient and very helpful with me calling a bunch of times on the phone before finally coming in. They are extremely professional and the quality of work is amazing! They really worked with me to give me the best custom frames within my budget. They also have good quality glass and plexi to ensure my artwork has the best UV protection. I had them make a really big frame for my Nara (60x70) and it turned out incredible. When I came in with my uhaul, Richart even lent me his straps and held me secured the artwork. They definitely have my business forever because they really worked with me and came up with great solutions especially when I needed a very quick turnaround time. read more

Would highly recommend this place. We were given great consultation, received a big first time discount and the frames were delivered earlier than expected. framing is expensive so just keep that in mind but overall this was a great experience. read more

Custom framing can be expensive and taxing. It's not always a priority. I had a tapestry that I purchased during my travels in Vietnam. It has been sitting in my house rolled up for months. I first tried a place on Lake Ave for custom framing but was annoyed there was no parking and had to wait on some customers with an ugly cyber truck taking up the whole parking lot. I happened upon Pasadena Picture Framing through Yelp. Just as the reviews read they are good! I met Rickart who was honest and professional. He was very knowledgeable and made the best recommendations. I dropped off my tapestry on a Sunday and by Friday got a call to pick it up even though I was told it would take 2 weeks. They are fast! Highly recommend checking them out for any custom framing needs. Don't bother going other places or price shopping. They are right on the mark. read more

Came to Pasadena Picture Framing after looking at Yelp to frame something to put on display at our wedding. They had a great selection of frames and were so helpful in choosing. They assured me it would be done in time for display, and it was! We left the glass off as we had to sign after the ceremony, and when we returned it took them all of 15 minutes to put the glass on and we had our lovely ketubah. It was super easy to get this done and I appreciated all of their help. Excited to display in our home! I will definitely be back if we need other things framed! read more

Chris did a brilliant job. We brought in 9 pieces and I cannot find a single flaw. It was well worth the wait. Chris was great to work with in-store and found frames that really matched the character of the piece. If I have anything else to frame, I will 100% be going to Pasadena Picture Framing. Their home delivery was perfect and convenient and they were communicative about any delays. Thank you Pasadena Picture framing! read more

I love how my picture frames turn out. They did a great job! Support small business owners

Great framing job and customer service. I got 5 works framed ranging from small drawings to a large poster. I have worked with other frame shops in the past, and their prices have simply gone up too much for me to return. After calling a number of new-to-me frame shops for appx. quotes for maple or other natural wood frames (and even bringing the work into one of them, only to leave once I learned that the given quote doubled because it was only for the cheapest metal frames), I found Pasadena Picture Framing. I'm happy with their job done and with the pricing! Chris also went above and beyond for framing the one poster I brought in. Chris saw that it had a small crease in it, and so he took it upon himself to hunt down and purchase another one before framing! -And at no extra charge. The poster was from a small shop up north in the eastern Sierras. Chris found it and called the shop to get a replacement delivered. I didn't even find this out until I picked up the finished pieces. I have already recommended this place to others, and will be returning. read more

If you're looking for a EXCELLENT place to beautifully and professionally frame your artwork, provide top notch service and also educate you on all options, then this is the place for you. I dealt with Chris, at Pasadena Picture Framing, and found him to be truly talented, intelligent, and intuitive in his work. He has an incredibly keen eye and helped me find a gorgeous frame and perfect matting for a Picasso I have. He made it stand out in all the glory it deserves. I also brought in a lithograph that I bought for just $55 and he elevated its beauty with just the right framework. I went to four different frame shops before deciding where I'd go for this work(this undertaking was a huge deal for me (I am sooooo picky!)) and I just cannot believe my luck. I cannot recommend Pasadena Picture Framing more highly. read more

Chris and his team did a great job with our framing project, which required them to handcut a mat for 59 photos and frame them to our particular aesthetic preferences. He was really able to take our initial vision and make it a reality, and he walked us through a lot of the finer points we didn't know about while completing the project (e.g., type of frame, type of glass, plaque choice.) We were really stressed about making a two-week deadline, but Chris said it was no problem at all and accomplished the project with ease before then. We'll definitely go back if we have any similar framing projects in the future, and I'll be recommending him to others! read more

I stopped in Saturday with a idea of framing a comic book for my GF birthday on Monday..... I was asked if it was a gift, to which I replied yes..... I happened to choose a frame that was in stock and was pleasantly surprised when I was told they could possibly have it for me by Monday, but since I was headed to Disney on Monday, I said it would be ok on Tuesday..... So I was very surprised when I got a call Sunday to let me know it was ready for pick up..... Excellent service, nice job of framing it up in its plastic sleeve as I had requested..... Thank you for your help of making it seem like I had it planned ahead of time and not a last minute idea..... lol Thank you Chris! read more

We're so happy with how our frame turned out. Chris and company helped us with a custom floating frame for a print that we had, and they successfully mounted it and framed it to look as if it were a canvas original within the frame. They talked through several options with us (frame type, wood vs veneer, glass vs no glass, etc) and were happy to accommodate our desire to frame the picture with a floating frame. Would absolutely recommend these guys. read more

Went to this local framing shop to have two paintings framed. Chris was so knowledgeable and took his time to explain the different customization options.

Amazing service and very helpful! They are very knowledgable and honest. Great quality frames.

Great job, quick service, and fair price. Offered delivery. We were very happy with the framing and would definitely go back.

An amazing experience at a good price. They truly went above and beyond to make sure my art was framed in a way that made it look the best it possibly could, even though I was advocating for something slightly different. I'm extremely impressed and will definitely come back. Highly recommended. read more

They were helpful in designing multiple different artworks I wanted framed (what mats, frames etc. to use for each) and seemed to quickly understand my style and never pressured me to go outside of my budget. They also stuck to their estimated completion date - about 4 weeks for five framed pieces. It can sometimes be hard to catch them in the shop in the afternoon (it seems like a small operation). But overall I really like the results and I'll be returning the next time I need something framed. read more

Great service: very knowledgeable, super helpful, and willing to spend the time to answer all of our questions. Highly recommended!

I needed a great framing job within a small budget for a last-minute birthday gift, and Chris came through for me in every way. Not only did he give me a big discount being a first-time customer, he upgraded my glass AND mat for no extra charge. I needed it quick, and he got it done in just a few days (much quicker than timelines I received from other framers that week). It looked FANTASTIC when I picked it up. I had never had something framed, so Chris taught me all I needed to know in a short time. He's passionate about his work--we got into a whole conversation about the different rare and luxury frames he offers at the shop. Super down-to-earth and kind-hearted guy too. Go with Chris!!! read more

By far the best custom frame shop in Pasadena! Chris the owner is wonderful to work with and he and his team of artisans always exceed my expectations! These are not cheap junky off the shelf frames. They are works of art in their own right. Thank you Chris and team! read more

Super long over due review. Chris and his team did a great job with a blue frame for my living room piece. At the time when I placed an order, there were a ton of constraints from the frame supplier so it took a while to get. I'd recommend setting your expectations with timing when framing through Chris, however definitely worth the wait. Not a bad thing, just it may take some time. I plan to go back and get more pieces framed with his shop. read more

Chris has lots of options for frames and mattes and was helpful in choosing the right combination. I am very happy with how the framing turned out. It took a bit longer than the time that was originally quoted, which was no problem for me, but I did have to call to check when it would be ready. The price point seemed fair although I was confused about how Chris came up with the final price. I would've preferred a bit more transparency/clarity for the different pricing options. read more

Chris the owner from the minute we called on the phone , encouraged us to drive over with the print we wanted framed. He had to have spent over an hour with us , presenting us with lots of options and his expertise was quite impressive. He is down to earth, honest and really good at what he does. We literally had no idea of what went into bringing a piece of art to life with such care and variety. We highly recommend Chris and his team and just know you will be in the best hands .. read more

Wow, we can't say enough good things about Pasadena Picture Framing! My husband and I inherited a pair of large, framed prints from my parents. They had hung in their house for at least 50 years, and the mats needed adjusting. We took them to Pasadena Picture Framing and Chris assured us he could easily take care of them for a VERY modest price. Well, one thing led to another and a simple fix turned into quite a complicated situation. On closer examination, the existing frames were too soft to hold the hardware and a different hanging methodology needed to be implemented. Chris didn't bat an eye; he arranged to have both frames re-worked, and in two days' time, the previous owner Richard showed up at our house and hung both pictures for us! That's the kind of customer service we seldom see any more. Thank you Chris and thank you Richard. We couldn't be more pleased. read more
