Art or Art - Beautifully custom-framed! - Framing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Not Recommended - Issues with Deposit and Customer Service In January 2024, I placed a $300 cash deposit on artwork at Art by Art. The owner, Hamid, agreed I could pay the remainder at a later date. Despite communicating I was unable to complete the purchase, he refused to return my deposit when I requested it. Today, Hamid contacted my work number (against my request) and proceeded to yell at me. He claimed I should try suing him to get my money back. This experience was unprofessional and stressful. I'm taking legal action, but I strongly advise others to exercise caution if considering putting down a deposit at this establishment. read more

After seeing a print in the window, I called and paid over the phone for the print which cost $150. When I received it, I saw the print had stuck to the glass and was severely damaged. The framing was done so poorly, I could see the foam board as the prints was cut off at the bottom, had no matte to separate it from the glass. I also realized after opening the frame, that this was not a high quality photo printed but looks like a low quality reproduction and had been partially cut. I wouldn't even pay $20 let alone $150, but lesson learned on my part! read more

Hamid is a wonderful proprietor. He has all kinds of neat art, does framing, and has a huge shop. I like some of the mirrors, they are retro, and has many home furnishings too. I haven't tried his custom framing services yet...when I get something I need framed, he's got a lot of options to choose from. read more

Hamid does a great job at the best price of several stores I called, will come here again if I need more framing work

This place is a gem. I brought a N.Y. Giant jersey to be framed as a birthday present for the father of a player. They did the job on time, at a very reasonable price, and it looks spectacular. I highly recommend this shop and especially Hamid as he is a perfect gentleman and a man of his word. read more

Universal Custom Framing is incredible and very reasonably priced. I bought an oversized mirror several years ago and I got a great deal. I recently went back to have my degrees framed. Now they all look uniform, classy and professional. The owner took time to show me samples of mattes and different frames and the turn around time was amazing! Highly recommended! read more

When I was referred by my designer, Ana Del Valle, I knew that I would be in good hands. And I was. The owner of Art or Art, Hamid, is a soft spoken, gentle man with enormous talent and heart for what he does. He is an artist in his craft and talented glass maker and framer. He made the glass mirrors and frames for our bathrooms and hung it for us perfectly adjusted on the wall. He is an excellent communicator and followed up with us, informing us every step of the way what he was doing and when our glass mirrors were to be ready. I would not ever go to anyone else for mirrors, frames, or shower doors. read more

Hamid is the owner of the shop and is an excellent framer who takes great pride in his work. I've now had two different pieces framed by him, and he really puts a lot of thought, energy and effort into making each piece look amazing. He's very friendly, always punctual, and I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who's looking for a friendly professional framer at a great value. Thank you Hamid and I'll see you on my next project. :) read more

I had a very bad experience with Hamid after spending $245. He comes off as being sincere, honest and knowledgable but quite the opposite. I expected to get a perfect mirror for my showroom. Instead it's the cheapest grade 1/8 inch stead of 1/4 inch which should of been used in the first place. Instead of replacing the mirror he tried to assure me it was ok and nothing he could do. Scott @ American Door & Glass explained the options to get the results I needed. Save your time and money. I recommend you go elsewhere. read more

This business owner has produced good work in the past, but now I discover one framed item does not sit straight and now another item has uneven matting widths that were at best one half of the length I requested. read more

Extremely friendly owner and comparative pricing to local frame shops. The work was done quickly and well. I'll definitely go back for any other framing needs. read more

The owner is really helpful and a true businessman. He came to our house to pick up all our pieces that needed to be framed, and he removed our old frames. We met him at his store and he spent enough time to carefully and thoroughly go over different options: sizes, colors, etc. The store has all kinds of framed mirrors too. When we arrived, he was working on a gorgeous 12 foot by 6 foot framed mirror for someone's entryway. Anyway, a week later, he personally delivered and installed our items with his crew. During the installation, I noticed that he was inspecting each frame and looking for flaws. Just a great businessman who really cares about providing excellent service. read more

The owner of this store, Hamid, is a liar and a thief, a complete immoral low life. I work as a handyman and my rate is very low. I ordered a mirror from him on the phone. When I got the mirror he charged me $40 more than he told me on the phone. Later I noticed that the mirror was actually 2nd hand and still had glue on the back. He them asked me to do some work for him on his 4 million dollar Westwood rental house - repairing some stucco and exterior lights and plumbing. I drove there an hour from my home expecting to be there till 5 pm, but he sent me home at 3:00 saying I could finish it tomorrow. Later, he called and said he didn't have money to pay me and never paid me. I told him I accept credit cards, but he still didn't pay me the $175 he owes me, and I had spent $142 on the mirror I bought from him. Plus I had another customer who I was sending to him for shower stall repairs. What a low life lying thief. You would think a man in his sixties would know that what goes around comes around. How you treat others will come back to you, maybe 100 fold, be it bad or good. Imbecile. read more
