Paul is fantastic! If you need help picking out colors and frames, he narrows your choices down so that you can actually make a choice. His prices are very reasonable and he does great work. So happy to have found him. He has helped us frame several items over the last few years. read more

If you are looking for something to get framed like I was, look no further. I came into John Pauls designs wanting to frame the mirrors I want to put up in my new apartment and lets just say that Paul exceeded my expectations. I had a great experience and would highly recommend coming into Pauls shop whether its mirrors you want framed or custom designs for furniture and cabinetry. All his projects are made in his shop here in the south bay. read more

Paul has been our framer for years now--and thought it was past time that I write a review. You can't do any better! He is a perfectionist, knows style and design. I have framed everything from needlepoint, fabrics, oil paintings, my sons' water polo awards, newspaper articles, photos of course and most recently large African art. He is instrumental in suggesting matting and frames...I trust him completely. He has a big heart and is so very helpful. Parking is super easy as well-especially carrying art pieces to and from the shop. read more

I have been a customer of John Paul Designs for at least 10 years. I started off having him frame my counted-cross stitch pieces, they are perfectly framed. For a while I had quit stitching because I could not find a good framer, but after I found John Paul I started stitching again. A few years ago my mother found pictures of her father and great-grand parents. She was hesitant about letting them out of her house. After the first meeting with John Paul she knew she could trust him with her family treasures, that he treats them as if they were his own family pictures. She had several pictures and he helped her decide which to frame as an individual and which to frame as a group of three. His quality of materials and craftsmanship is absolutely perfect. Have also discovered that he is very willing to repair past pieces (by other framers) that were poorly framed and pieces that were framed 50+ years ago that are now falling apart. read more

Always do good work. This time I had a frame made for a cool poster done for my son and it turned out great!

Got a recommendation to this place from a friend. His suggestions in picking out mats, frames and glass were extremely helpful. Because of the excellent job he did with the first frame, I ended up taking more projects to him. The end result with all of the frames, etc he did for me was excellent. Very pleased and would highly recommend him! read more

I also wanted to make sure I got the stuff before my husbands birthday and they made it happen. Customer services experience was Beyond great!! Thank you all for the great customer service and PAUL YOU AND YOUR TEAM ROCK! read more

I have been a client at John Paul's for over 17 years. I have never had a problem finding exactly the product or look I want. Paul always has access to the latest frames and matboards numbering in the thousands. His knowledge of the craft and quality materials shows in the product he delivers. I would also say his design and mastery of furniture building is beyond my expectations. I highly recommend John Paul's Designs for anyone searching for the best custom picture frames and carpentry at a fair price as Paul is truly a master of his crafts. read more

This is the best framework anyone can ever do!! He is such a cool dude it's easy to see how much love and passion he puts into his work. He made a frame for my poster and he got the best color texture design I think could been added to it. Just a great place to trust your work with. John Paul is a amazing person too! Highly recommend read more

Simply the best workmanship and museum quality framing in Southern CA. Paul is the most knowledgeable and professional in his field. You can tell he loves what he does and he is genuinely a great person. He has done over 50 works of art for me over these many years and I have never been disappointed. On a few occasions, he has even wowed me with his variations of ideas I had for the artwork. Paul has crafted frames for me for rare vintage original works to WWII memorabilia of my Grand Dad and all of the highest caliber. Every guest that sees the works hanging on the wall always comments not only of the art work, but of the presentation as well. I go out of my way to only use him for any framing need and every friend or family member I refer to him have been beyond happy with the results. Simply the best in all respects and don't be fooled by those other framers. You truly get what you pay for. read more
