Please note that they have moved to No.5 Road in Richmond, so call first to get their address before you head there! I went to Perfect Arts today after reading the excellent review by the other Yelper (Steven M). I was looking for a 40 x 50 cm glass piece for my photo frame, because I accidentally dropped my big photo frame when I was trying to hang it and I broke the old glass! I was googling for Richmond BC photo frame companies and found that this location offered cheaper according to the other Yelper. I called in and the owner was very professional, she said she would check her stock and call me back. Then she gave me a price quote estimate and I went into purchase. They had the glass piece right away because it was a standard size, so I felt very lucky. I was fine if I had to wait a few days, so it was a pleasant surprise to get my photo frame glass replaced right away! Their prices are cheaper than other stores since they are a warehouse. I'll be coming back in the near future to change my University diploma frame and customize it to a prettier look. (My University gives boring dark old frames, so I want to change the frame to match my home colors). The owner speaks English and Cantonese; she was a very nice and professional lady. They have a big selection of frames at their warehouse at lower prices than other stores, and I was happy with my purchase and the customer service today.

For a long time, we struggled to find a framer who matched her level of dedication. We used to visit neighborhood craft stores where we'd pay a premium for subpar work, all while feeling immense stress leaving behind a piece she had labored over for a year. Finding Kent and Karla was a total game-changer. My parents, who split their time in Canada, have now trusted them with our family's entire collection for years. Kent has an extraordinary eye for detail. He doesn't just pick a frame that "matches"; he selects materials that perfectly complement the texture and tone of the tapestry. His stretching technique is flawless--the work is taut, vibrant, and truly comes to life. Her most recent piece, Vermeer's The Milkmaid, was framed so beautifully that it looks eerily like the original I saw at the Rijksmuseum. If you have high-value or sentimental art that requires a master's touch, look no further.

I took my ukiyo-e print to them, and they couldn't have been nicer or more helpful.

The finished product looked terrific (I'd post a pic, but it's under wraps until Christmas) and was, given how busy they are, relatively swiftly done, in about two/three weeks.

Chris at Artistree had done an amazing job in creating one for our father who had passed away a couple of years earlier, and this time, it was an even more complicated operation, with many hours of touching up, restoration and creativity required to transform a casual picture from the 1990s to one that seemed modern and professional. We especially appreciated Chris' meticulous care and reverence in honoring our mother with her detail-oriented expertise, and that care showed in the result, an enhanced picture that highlighted her bright essence, even more so than the original picture. Chris and her husband's attention to detail carried through to the final product, professionally framed pictures that we're very proud to display at the funeral.

Each painting was of different dimensions and on wood of varying thicknesses. The owner helped me pick an appropriate frame and he custom-mounted each piece of art so that they all were flush with the frame. The backing of each piece was professionally finished as well. Yes, it's on the pricey side (about $80 for each of my custom frames) but the end result is that my artwork will last a lifetime in these frames! The actual frames exceeded my expectations and were prepared on time. Will certainly return as I build my art collection.
