Old cranky guy behind the counter cussing and trying to be intimidating. He could probably use a good backhand. The merchandise is shady if not broken. read more

I sure wish I would have found Chuck sooner. My husband and I have been very happy with everything we have brought him to be framed. He has a keen eye for how things should go together as well. We share the love for estate sales, yard sales and a good find so talking to him is fun. He is a one man show so it does take some time when his demand is high but completely worth the wait. Grateful for the care he took with some very special pieces. Thanks Chuck!! read more

See all

I brought my broken frame in for a repair, which had museum glass and a valuable piece of Japanese wood art. I called ahead of time and got a quote for $50, which was reasonable. He said he would finish it by August 26, but I got it back on the 21st. Very great job on the repair! read more

Wonderful work and craftsmanship . He surely knows what he is doing and was extremely flexible in getting the frame to me

They did a excellent job with my frames. High quality workmanship. I would definitely come back here again. read more

This place sucks. Owner is rude and disrespectful. I dont know how he stays in business. They have better prices everywhere else.

This is the place to go to if you need a frame or advice. Chuck has a great eye and is the only one that I use to help me frame my art. He's done at least 8 of my pieces. Every time I have something else I go to him. read more

I had been going to The Frame Maker for a couple years, however; more so during the last few months. The owner is incredibly talented at his craftmanship, and his kindness is above and beyond for what he enjoys doing and serving the community. I had gotten done total of 4 prints (large panoramic print to posters), and every time I get something done by the owner, he goes beyond expectations with professionalism. I strongly recommend this business, and you would not be disappointed in his craftmanship. Thank you so much for all you have done for me so far and it is truly appreciated. read more

Went in to have a poster framed but spent a while perusing Chuck's endearingly chaotic collection of ... well ... a little bit of everything!! (Books/military items/walking sticks/glassware/movie posters to name a few) Fast forward a couple weeks & he managed to make our Basquiat poster look like a work of art! If you're a collector or looking for a memorable & unique gift check out his store! read more

I had these 50+ year old butterfly pictures that were in bad shape prior to receiving them from my grandparents ( they're originally from Brazil, my dad got them when he was TDY there in the Air Force). Because of their condition I couldn't ask them to be placed back in original shape. He cleaned the frames, back glass, put new glass on, and cleaned and repaired the frames. I can't express the joy I had when I saw them when picking them up. I highly recommend this shop. They were returned in really good time, good pricing, and the owner has a great attitude! I will be back as I have a few more things to get framed. read more

This place doesn't even deserve one star! I came here with the possibility of letting this guy frame a Mother's day present. So what happen? I asked the guy for a quote. He gave me a quote for around $40 to just frame the picture and it would take a week. So after I decided that was too much and I kindly thanked him for his time. THEN, that is when things went bad. He told me, "Here let me write this quote down, so when you go to the other places you will know the price is better here...the prices are only going to up from here." I smiled gave him 'the look' and walked out. I am not sure how this guy stays in business! Went to Aaron Brothers, got the frame I needed that same day and payed less than half! read more

This is the local shop to go to if you have a need for a frame. Chuck is an easy going guy with a very keen eye for presentation. I took some recognition certificates recently awarded to my wife to this shop. She would have relegated the awards to a file cabinet and this did not sit well with me. The framework and mats Chuck put together gave the awards a very dignified and stately appearance. Chuck is truly a craftsman! read more

My husband and I were looking to frame our bathroom mirror so we started calling around and visiting different frame shops for quotes. Luckily a local glass shop recommended the framemaker. My husband and I both called at separate occasions to ask questions and chuck was very patient and invited us to stop by. He was very helpful and had reasonable prices with a quick turn around. He was able to give is different frame options for our budget which was great. We placed our order a few days later and picked it up today. He did a great job and definitely would come back again for another frame. Thanks again! read more

The Frame Maker - Here's our new frame, Def added a nice touch to spruce up our bathroom. - Framing Near Me - Cypress, California

I came in here last week to get some mat boards cut for my interior design project. Since i was in school, i already knew the ballpark of what my mat boards should cost because our teacher told us the pricing and also upon talking to my classmates. This guy quoted me $200 when its only supposed to be between $70-$120!! I immediately got out of there and then went to Aaron Brothers to get a quote. They ended up doing the same exact cutting for me for $80. This guy really needs to get a reality check on his pricing, especially in today's economy, i def suggest shopping around for a price quote if your actually considering getting work done at this store. read more

First time customer at the Frame Maker. Chuck, the owner, promptly took care of a repair I needed to a large framed mirror. Will definitely be back! read more

Chuck made three custom mirror frames for my home remodel project. Also framed several pictures. Always top notch work made to order. He even suprised me with a beautiful wood box velvet lined that was a perfect match to the mirror burl frames. Very cool! I will be back. read more

Needed an estimate for a damage claim on an already framed painting that had come apart during shipping. Wonderful owner offered to put everything back together for free. He masterfully reassembled the mats, picture, etc. and threw in a new backing board too while I watched. He was friendly and knowledgeable and I'd definitely return for any future framing needs. read more

On eBay, I won a 1990 Batman movie poster that was alleged to have Prince's authentic signature although I couldn't find online anything (Prince's signature) similar to the signature on the poster, but the poster is stunning and arrived in excellent condition, so if you're looking to be a customer of "The Frame Maker" and you don't live within traveling distance (even across the country as I do in Florida), you can buy with confidence that your artwork will be well packaged and arrive undamaged. read more

I ordered a poster online and wanted to get it framed. I didn't really know where to go, so I yelped on my phone and saw some places which were a couple miles away. But when I was driving home, I saw this place out of the corner of my eye so I pulled in to the parking lot and brought the poster inside. The owner greeted me, he was friendly and professional. After taking some measurements and deciding on a metal frame with glass, he recommended that I take advantage of the special they were having, which is normally 59.99 for aluminum with glass. Since my poster measured 22x28, he gave me a ten dollar discount, so the final price was 49.99. He gave me a lead time of around one week, and said I could pay when I come to pick up the product. Exactly one week later, he called me and let me know the poster was ready. It came out perfect, and he wrapped it for protection (that's what she..), received payment, and sent me on my way. A special hanger was included as well to mount the poster, which was a thoughtful touch. I was very pleased with the service and product, and supporting small business is always a plus. read more

I have a very bad experience with this store the owner was very rude and so disrespectful ! I told him his price is kind of high and if he can do better !!? He almost kicked me out of the store, so bad he lost my business and good luck with this kind of poor customer service !! read more

Just picked up 4 pieces of artwork I had framed. They turned out even better than I thought they would. Custom framing is always on the pricey side however I paid hundreds less than another (nearby) place I went to for a quote. His prices are fair and work is precise and high quality. read more

All of my framing has been done at The Frame Maker at 5014 Ball Road in Cypress perfectly, reasonably priced, as requested, professionally, and on schedule as repeat business. My 5-Star experience may be different because I only want the best products and services and I lack the time to find the place/person willing to accept the lowest price. I bought a suit for $200 that required too many free alterations where stitching kept coming apart. I went to Neiman-Marcus and bought an expensive suit that has lasted 20 years with no alterations, embarrassing moments, and time-consuming trips. That experience changed my thinking. read more
