Decided to finally get a bunch of art I enjoy framed and these guys were an absolute pleasure to use. Walked my Ignorant self through every aspect of it. In the end, they finished the work on time and delivered everything directly to my house. Will definitely be bringing them more business as soon as the need arises. read more

Pasadena Picture Framing - Some of the artwork I got framed. - Framing Near Me - Pasadena, California

I highly recommend! I had a small disaster when a large mirror fell off the wall and shattered. I went straight to Google looking for someone to help me frame my new mirror. Luckily, my first hit was Pasadena Picture Framing. From the first point of contact, Chris was a pleasure to work with. He was helpful, informative and honestly just a great guy. His work is impeccable and I couldn't be happier. Now that I have found this gem, I am putting together some special family photos that I plan on having custom framed. read more

Absolutely phenomenal job. Walked me through my options and worked with me to find a framing that both fit my budget and really highlighted the piece. The added instructions with how to hang it really showed a pride in the craft that extended to it looking really dang good. read more

Pasadena Picture Framing - Look at that. Magnificent. - Framing Near Me - Pasadena, California

I was told 2-3 weeks and waited over 6 months. When I called for an update (around month 3) I was rudely told to stop calling and that I would be called when the work was ready for pickup. Was never called. Ended up calling and leaving a voicemail that was not returned. Went in person to inquire and the guy was shocked when I told him I dropped the work off six months ago... He said "that's really bad"... Yup. Also lost one of the pieces I dropped off, waited 10+ min while he searched around for it. After the disorganization was sorted through, the guy told me they would be done the next day and really insisted that he drop them off at my place. I refused this "service" and was glad I did, if you look past the 5 star review for this place, you will find reviews of him no-showing his drop offs. I have been a returning customer for 3 years and will now be taking my framing needs permanently elsewhere. P.s. when I got home after picking up my pieces I discovered a 1" fold on the corner of my framed art. I unfortunately did not take photos of my brand new piece when I dropped it off over six months ago. I strongly recommend you document the condition of the work you drop off here. read more

I drove 30 minutes to get here and they were closed on Tuesday at 10:15am. I waited around until 10:45am, but no luck. I tried calling, but no one answered the phone. read more

I was in need of some last minute framing for a gift and called up Pasadena Picture Framing Co. on a whim. Not only did they deliver my framed art with an incredibly quick turnaround, but the quality of work they delivered was outstanding. Truly remarkable service and craftsmanship here. read more

Wow, super exceeded all expectations, the photos don't do the work justice. Will try and break down my experience. - Brought my piece in and talked to Chris for close to an hour to show all the possibilities. So kind and patient while have the ability to know exactly what I was looking for natural with a hint of gold. - Chris automatically applied a new customer discount, knew the frame I got was high quality with real gold but really appreciate the ranges they had. - Walked through the process and generous with options, I opted for no matting and gallery glass to prevent reflections while protecting the piece. - Quick turn around time for such good quality work. Even with setting expectations in case of any supply chain delays, appreciated how fast it turned around. - When picking up the piece, everyone was so kind and involved in the process. - At home, able to appreciate the quality of the frame and detail. Take away: the piece is half of the artwork and this crew able to complete the second half. Not able to thank them enough without being awkward - loved how it turned out!! Thank you! read more

I wanted to get a couple of art prints framed for my wife's 50th, so I checked Yelp for Framers in the area with good reviews, and was impressed by PPF's reviews. I figured I'd get the ball rolling about a month in advance (of my wife's birthday) to give ample time. I called several times over several days, and no one ever picked up. On the 4th call, I left a message (stating the above framing request). Five days later, I get a message from Brittany to call back (which I did... which was also not answered), or simply come in. Today (a Thursday), I drove up from L.A. to go into the shop... only, it was locked at 11:15am. I knocked on the door; no answer. I called their phone (which I could hear ringing from outside); no answer. No sign on the door stating that they'll be back; no message on the phone. Someone from next door told me that I was the second person in the last hour to knock on the door during business hours. Wasted over an hour for a useless trip. They may be great at what they do, but good luck ever actually speaking with someone, and an extra dose of luck if you ever decide to actually go to the shop. It's a gamble. A shame. I like working with (reputable) small business. read more

I had 2 very old & fragile linen art pieces that needed framing. They spent time helping me figure out the best way to mount & frame. They had a large selection of frames to choose from so it took some time. When I picked them up I was amazed at how beautiful they turned out and so appreciated the respect they treated the art and mounting choices they used to make them even more special! Thank you! I would highly recommend them read more

No idea if this place is good or not. When I went over there today there wasn't anyone home. I tried calling a few times, but no answer. Looking on their website, didn't see any indication as to why they were closed, or that they were closed at all. In general, looks like the website could use an update. 3 stars cause I don't want to kill their business. read more

Courteous and accommodating service from Chris and Brittany. I have never bought a professional framing before, and they were happy to explain the details, varieties of styles, and answer my questions. Their knowledge and expertise helped me frame my 24 x 32 canvas print, I'm happy with the outcome, I want to thank Chris and Brittany! read more

We dropped an oil painting off for reframing today. Brittany was super helpful. Chris came in while we were there as we picked our a new frame. I'm sure we will be happy with our choice with their help. Lead time is about a month. Fortunately they were in the shop the first time we stopped. I will call ahead next time before I come. They are a small shop that makes deliveries so there are times no one is there. read more

Richart and his crew are true conservators of art! If you need anything framed or prepped for display, don't waste your time going anywhere else. Thank you for your professionalism and generosity! With great appreciation, Bryan and Justine read more

Great service, super fast and affordable pricing for great framing job. Will definitely go back and recommend.

Chris was great to work with. Always answered any questions I had regarding the work being done and stayed in contact with me until it was finished. The framing turned out better than expected and looks great. If you are in need of some picture framing in the Pasadena area this is the place read more

Great customer service. Very efficient and Kevin is very genuine to me. Highly recommend it:) read more

This was my first time getting a picture framed and It was a photo I took for my friend's family. Britney helped me through the process with my budget and chose the right frame and a UV70 glass for the picture. I also needed it by a certain date. They delivered and I was really happy with the results. My friends family loved the frames photo. Thank you and I will be coming back for future prints read more

I tried 3 different places in Pasadena and they all wanted a lot of money and two weeks to do a job that I needed today. However, that wasn't going to work. Chris and Richart have the best prices and they did the matting and framing job I needed the same day. Chris you are awesome thank you for all your help picking the right colors. Richart you are the Master Artist. I am soooo jazzed for the awesome job you guys did for me, and I know my Mom will love it too since it's a gift for her. You guys are the best!!!! read more

These are the nicest, most helpful people you could ask for. I was trying to print out and frame a wedding photo for my anniversary. Not only had I been to a bunch of places that couldn't help me print the photo nicely, but no one could frame it in less than 4 weeks. I went to Pasadena Picture Framing and everything was wonderful. They helped me get a beautiful print of my photo that very same day, and then told me they'd get it framed for me that same weekend (which they absolutely did not need to do). Everything was to make me happy. The wonder even texted and called throughout the process. They have certainly earned my loyalty! read more

I am an interior designer and I was in need of a quality framing resource with Elevated product at reasonable prices. I am so happy I leveraged Chris and his expertise. I had to frame a collection of valuable Laker memorabilia and Chris made it happen!. He turned around a Large project flawlessly. I have since relied on Pasadena Picture Framing for a few art pieces and I am looking forward to using his services on my next projects. He has GREAT taste! read more

I had two pieces of art that needed framing. I went in person and discussed my vision. I was given some very creative options for an original piece of art that was done by my Neice. Both pieces exceeded my expectations. I would post pictures but it's very personal. I highly recommend this business. I felt their prices were fair and their expertise was fantastic!!! read more

Found this place on google maps when looking up nearby framing shops and decided to give it a try. It's easy to find and there's easy street parking. Both workers were very friendly, patient, and helpful, and gave me great tips on what mats and frames to pick out. Being Black Friday, the owner also gave me an awesome discount! I dropped off the two things I needed framed today and should get them back in about 1-2 weeks! I'll post pictures when I get them! Overall an awesome experience so far! read more

Chris, the owner, and his colleagues are excellent in creating the perfect framing for valuable keepsakes, art, memorabilia, etc. Chris is exceptional with offering suggestions on materials and styles, quickly building trust that your project will achieve the desired vision and successfully meeting the framing goal with wonderful completion. I hesitated for five years to custom shadow box frame an autographed Star Wars lightsaber and photo connected to a significant personal event. Until working with the Pasadena Picture Framing Company, I did not have confidence in others I spoke with to work on my "project." In addition to outstanding results, my "slightly complicated" framing was ready on Christmas Eve, as they worked through the evening to fulfill all outstanding projects (see photo)..."The Force" is definitely with Pasadena Picture Framing Co. read more

Pasadena Picture Framing - Star Wars memorabilia shadow box framing - Framing Near Me - Pasadena, California

I recommend framing with this team. In the process of planning for and framing a photographic print with them, Pasadena Picture Framing Co was very adaptable when I suddenly had an opportunity to get the work signed by the artist before framing it. Once it was signed, I trusted the work in their hands. Store-owner, Chris, was very attentive about small but important details of our framing process, such as not allowing too much dust to get on the work when we previewed it and discussed design details. We quickly settled on the design specifics and the framing turned out tremendous in my opinion. The artist, Dan Phoenix, digs it too. I personally just appreciate finally having this special work behind glass and in a frame constructed with care. read more

Pasadena Picture Framing - Framing Near Me - Pasadena, California

I came here expecting great service due to all the positive reviews - upon dropping off my stuff chris told me he gives a discount if you leave a five star review, which explains that. I was told 2-3 weeks and ended up waiting two months with zero communication from staff. 3 weeks in I call them - they tell me they're waiting on one last part and that it'll be done a week later. Two more weeks go by, nothing. I call them again. They tell me "oh, it'll be done this weekend, it's on the schedule to be done then". Another week goes by, nothing. Keep in mind, I'm the one calling them this entire time - they didn't have the courtesy to give me a single update. I call over the weekend, no progress. Chris makes up another excuse. The next week I call again, chris tells me "it'll be done tonight - I'll deliver it myself this weekend". Shocker, he never calls me nor does he deliver my stuff. The following week (now 8 weeks later) I call and ask if I can just pick up my prints and explain how ridiculous this situation is - same excuses, I'm told the same thing, that it'll be done in a day. I just grabbed my stuff instead because all these guys do is lie. I received no apology or concern as a customer - you're providing a service. Be honest and communicative with your clients! I waited two months for nothing! I'm a business owner myself and I can't even fathom being this rude, careless and unprofessional with my own clients. read more

I just had a sketch framed here and it was a very pleasant experience. Chris took his time explaining the process and helping me pick out the right materials. The end result was amazing and I was able to get my piece much faster than expected. I will definitely be back! read more

Chris is a master craftsman! He helped us select gorgeous and incredibly unique framing options for some original artwork. Far and away higher quality and shockingly lower prices than anywhere else we looked. If you want something truly special, definitely go here. He's a pleasure to do business with and his work speaks for itself. Thanks for such a great experience and helping make our latest art purchases better than we could've imagined! read more

Did a great job framing a bunch of photos and reframing a few old items for me. It does take a few weeks to get your items back but I think it's worth it - very well priced and they do a fantastic job! read more

I called many framing places in the LA area before deciding and am so happy I went with Chris. This was my first experience professionally framing a canvas painting and Chris gave a great price for the stretching and beautiful floating frame. I gave my budget and he offered recommendations that would work within my price range without compromising on quality and look. He was honest, realistic, and patient. The delivery service as well made it so convenient and I'm very satisfied with the result. Will definitely come here again for any framing needs. Thank you! read more

Great service, nice guys. I brought in a frame to be fixed and the owner gave me advice on what to do without spending a lot. Honest guys. Next time when i have something to frame, i would go there. Always support small business and neighbor business. Thumbs up. read more

Pasadena Picture Framing saves Mother's Day! My brother-in-law waited until the last minute to get his immediate family's Charis Studio family portrait framed for Mother's Day. The Saturday before Mother's Day we were searching all over the Pasadena area for framing services. We visited a number of stores that day only to leave feeling disappointed about the turnaround time, price, product, service, etc. The last framing store we walked into was Pasadena Picture Framing. My BIL stated exactly what he wanted at the price point he expected to pay and Chris made it happen. He also finished the custom frame well in time for Mother's Day brunch the next day. When my BIL presented the framed portrait to his mother, she began to cry and said it was the best gift ever and the frame was the perfect touch to the portrait! The craftsmanship combined with the customer service and value made this an easy 5 star review!!! read more

Amazing service and great taste in framing, and matting! My first time getting original artwork framed here and will bring lots more! Awesome experience! read more

I brought two jobs to Pasadena Picture Framing. One was a picture where the glass was broken on the frame. Chris just said it needed the glass replaced which I felt was very honest of him. The second was a print. Brittany and Chris helped me find a suitable frame which really picked up the colors in the print. The turnaround time was not too long. I am really delighted with their work and would recommend them to prospective customers without hesitation. Thanks, Chris! read more

TL;DR please communicate with your customers, stick to accurate completion estimates or at least be honest about it being incredibly late. Prices are adequate, but for the headache and insane timeline, absolutely not worth it. I dropped off two prints on August 4th to be framed. One in a simple black frame and the other slightly more complicated with a thatched border and bamboo style framework. I was given a price and an estimate of about 2 weeks to get them back which sounded perfectly reasonable at the time. Around two weeks from then (about 8/19), I called and they said the pieces would be begun on Monday and ready by the weekend. The weekend came and went and no call. I called again on the next Monday or Tuesday to see if it had been done yet and was assured they had begun. Thus began a weekly call with either no answer or being told it'd be done "soon" I called last weekend Sept 15th and asked what happened to my two week estimate and was only told "some rush orders pushed back our workload" no apology at all. He said he would call when it was done, possibly by Sunday night. I said "I am not going there until you assure me it's done, please call me and let me know if they are completed." Never received a call back the next day. I called again Friday afternoon 9/21 to see if the pictures were done, no answer and no return call. I did not call every day. I called maybe once a week to check in and got as little information as possible giving me any vague idea that my project would ever be finished I drove to the location today 9/23 and magically my pieces were finished. The owner, to his credit, did recognize me when I walked in but there was no apology or even recognization that they had missed their timeline or never responded to my inquiries. By all accounts the frames are done well but I would say nothing special or star-worthy about this place or their prices. Their customer service is abysmal to say the least and clearly "rush jobs" are taken with no consideration to projects already at hand. If they had least given me an honest answer, communicated, or called me once they were finished with a small acknowledgement that they missed their timeline, I would have been able to give them a moderate review or even not written a review and left the page well enough alone. I would not recommend this place to anyone else. read more

This review comes a bit later than I intended! We went in to get a large colored pencil drawing framed that has a lot of sentimental value. We were treated with respect, as was the drawing itself. We discussed what would work best within our budget, they gave us a clear idea of what would be done, and in the end we really felt like they really delivered. I did not have a great idea of what I wanted for the framing when I walked in, and they had great recommendations that ended up working within the budget we had set out. The drawing is blue and grey, and goes all the way to the edges of the paper, which are a little jagged. They made the suggestion of floating the drawing on a black background to help with highlighting the edges and it really looks fantastic. Things turned out beautifully, and we were really pleased with the end result. I'd very highly recommend going here. read more

Needed to get a canvas framed as a Christmas present a few days before Christmas. Was not disappointed! Chris was super helpful with picking out the right mounding and adding extra touches to frame the picture in the right light. Definitely recommend! Will be coming back for any framing needs. Lots of variety in mounding too! read more

I recently made my first "big" art purchase and decided it needed to be properly framed. After going on yelp, I decided to give Pasadena Picture Framing a try. Charlie and Kevin were extremely helpful and took the time to explain options and what worked for my budget. As someone who doesn't know much about framing, I felt comfortable here. I will definitely be returning! read more

Pasadena Picture Framing - Framing Near Me - Pasadena, California

update... chris had reached out regarding the frame in question and offered to finish the job, ultimately entirely rebuilding it, without charge and even offering delivery. it looks great; exactly as it did when richart first built the frame for me. while there was much confusion with the business moving (twice), they appear settled in a nice, new space (though with the same crazy door chime!) and chris seems to genuinely care about his craft and the satisfaction of his customers. i have a handful of rock posters and art prints yet to frame and will definitely give pasadena picture framing another go; as a long-standing small business in the community they certainly deserve that. read more

Amazing prices, amazing turnaround time, great design sense, AND they deliver. I brought in 6 prints that I had commissioned that I needed framed for Christmas presents, of course I brought them in on the 22nd because I procrastinate like that sometimes. Chris, the owner, gave me a great price, great design advice AND delivered all 6 completed framed prints to my home in time for Christmas--and my family loved them. And I loved them. And as an artist I am NOT easy when it comes to design. At the risk of repeating myself again: great price, great design, great turnaround time, and, amazingly, free delivery! read more

They elevated my 2 mini oil paintings, found at a Flea Market for $10, into pieces worthy of hanging in a museum! It took an extra week, but I was told the extra time to complete the order was due to efforts to replace inferior framing material received to complete my order. The frames they choose are exquisite, and well worth the wait at no additional charge. I'll definitely be back to have other paintings framed! read more
