Frugal Frames saved Father's Day. I had a last minute idea to get a newspaper my husband had signed by an Oakland A's player custom framed. I knew it wouldn't be ready by Father's Day but to my surprise they had it done an hour later! They are the best! I highly recommend Frugal Frames. They've framed all of my Disneyland art collection and have always done an amazing job. read more

My dad had an old map of French Camp from when it was being initially developed. His family was a big part of that and this map hand been handed down a few times. The edges were very fragile and it map already had several small tears. I went to Frugal Frames expecting to be told it was impossible, but they handled everything with such care and attention, and were able to preserve the map beautifully in a custom frame. I will always return to them for my framing needs. read more

Incredibly nice person, and very knowledgeable with color schemes and combinations. We brought in two original pieces created by my father, and after some color options with mats and frames, the finished product looks great. Promised delivery time was met. Would recommend Frugal Frames to anyone, and will gladly use them again when a need arises. read more

My go-to place for framing! The owner is awesome and obviously takes pride in what he does. I've had probably a dozen different pictures framed here and absolutely love all of them. The framing options are wide and varied. You can have anything framed even on a tight budget, as well. Although this never happens for me, I tried the premium museum glass on some of my earlier pieces he framed and have been unable to use anything else. Regardless, great owner! Great work! You can't go wrong having anything framed here! read more

I had purchased a piece of loft art from Art.com. The size is 84x48. Unbeknownst to me, it came in a roll with wood framing, some instructions on how to stretch the canvas and a few pieces of hardware to put it together. I had no idea what to do with this, then I was referred to George at Frugal Frames. When I arrived he initially looked at me like "what is this?!" And told me he had never seen anything like this and felt he could do a better job building his own frame. He is a very well respected framer in the area, so even though it would cost me more, I trusted his advice. Well, then quarantine for Covid-19 came around and I figured he would call me when it was over. Today, George called to let me know, not only did he finish the piece, he figured out how to use the stretcher frame and all the other items that came with it and saved me $100.00 on the project! Then we came by to take our art home and could not fit it in to our SUV, he then offered to bring it To our office! Of course we paid him but especially right now, who would do that?? He had all the safety guidelines in place, kept a safe distance, offered sanitizer and his business was closed. He even had us sanitize on our way out. I will forever take any and all my art and refer any and all who ask, to George at Frugal Frame in Manteca! Thank you George! read more

Frugal Frames is the place to go for any type of framing. I had five beveled frameless mirrors framed; they turned out beautiful. I looked at many mirrors online. There was nothing even close to the quality framing I received. Plus, I now have the exact type frame I wanted for each mirror. George is extreme patient and very fair. I will now use this shop for any framing work. read more

Great experience working with them. We needed a picture framed for a memorial in a day. They were able to help us out with picking the size and the design.

Owner did an exceptional job framing my photos. Took about three weeks to complete. I called in the third week to check on my order and he told me they'd were held back but he'd have them done the next day and stuck to his word. Love my artwork!! Great customer service! Highly recommend! read more

I brought an A's flag in earlier this year, maybe late last year, to be framed. In all, it has close to 200 autographs on it. Cost was very reasonable. Michael's wanted over $1000, even after a "discount" of about 60 percent. Very pleased with the service and finished product. I live in Hayward and will be back to Frugal Frames with more items for framing. read more

We're getting our fourth photo framed by this guy. Always super helpful & works with what we want. Well stay loyal to his local business!

Went to see George after reading the reviews oh Yelp. When I got there he greeted me and and gave me the best customer service ever. Went there to get 2 diplomas framed and George helped me to make the diplomas stand out in the frame. When he gave me the bill I was amazed on the price that it was very reasonable. He gave me discounts and upgrades to the diplomas that he was framing that made me very happy. When I went to pick up the frames I was very pleased with the work and the extra upgrades he included for the glass he used. I will be going back to have more work done with George. Thank you George for the outstanding job you did. read more

The guy working here I assume is the owner saved me. I had broken a picture frame and he got me a whole new one and cut it custom and had it ready for me in one hour! Thank you read more

I've had Frugal Frames frame 5 different art pieces now. George, the owner, does impeccable work...really top notch. They are very affordable, but the quality of the work they do is something I would expect to pay more for. On top of that George is very accommodating and easy to get along with. If you need any artwork framed, I very much recommend Frugal Frames. read more

This frame shop is everything you could ask for in a frame shop. The owner (& his father) is very nice and really truly seems to want you to be happy with your frame. They offer their opinion, make recommendations but don't force you into it. They have a very large selection which is nice so you don't end up with an everyday frame you could get from the department store. They did a very nice job on my custom frame, I don't think it could be better! read more

Great craftsmanship and great prices! Fast turnaround. My work has sent several jobs here and we're always super impressed with the work.

Forget Michaels for frames! Go to Frugal Frames - you won't be disappointed. And you will also be supporting a local business. I took two old pictures my father wanted framed and had the older one of them done with 'UV' glass to keep it from fading - these guys definitely know their old pics, which I truly appreciate, since you can't always replace the oldies. Very reasonable price and 2 fantastic pictures! Thank you Frugal Frames - I will definitely be back. read more

Great local business. Wonderful prices and wonderful service. He has great ideas and will work with you to create what you are looking for. I think they moved downtown near the post office. and the Yosemite location is closed. read more

I stopped this month to get a quote on a picture and frame . Before I got to that I saw a picture of a piano up front. On the back was a sale price tag of 15.00. The paper was torn so I thought that was fair. When I asked the owner about it he looked surprised and said "oh it shouldn't be sold at that price , I need to double it to make a profit. I pointed out that retail owners usually sell the item at the price they mark it for even if it was in error. He said no. I left. So for $15.00 potential profit ,he lost my business and I had several large pictures to reframe. read more

Nice guy, knowledgeable and has a decent selection. If he doesn't have it, he can get it from his other store in Stockton which carries a bigger selection. We've been happy wtih everything they've ever done, and will continue to use Frugal for our framing needs. read more

Amazing customer service and the work done here is out of this world. Frugal Frames has been making shadow boxes for our Fire Department for awhile and each time the end result is spectacular. This is a gem of a business here in Manteca and deserves your business too! read more

This is a great business! Customer service is clearly a top priority. Very friendly and immensely helpful. I was planning on getting a large puzzle framed and mentioned to the owner that I didn't have a proper surface to glue the puzzle. He went in the back and gave me some cardboard, all before I even committed to using his services, they are just that kind of business. They really took their time with me and gave me the best deal possible, will definitely be coming her for all my future framing needs. read more

This place is amazing!!!! I came in with a guitar to have put into a shadow box and he spent almost an hour helping me with ideas and colors because I had no clue what I wanted. When I got the finished product it was so much better than I had imagined!!!! It had to be completely custom built to fit the size and he did such perfect work!!! Highly highly recommended!!!! read more
