The owner/operator of this business is all anyone could want in a framer. She offered suggestions for saving money and assisted in the final designs. We highly recommend her services. read more

Mari is an artist, framed our images impeccably well. She communicates well and I highly recommend.

Mari is very good at what she does. She framed two very different pieces for me, one a kid sports memorabilia thing, and one a drawing by a family friend. They both came out incredibly well, I can't imagine them any other way. They both have personality and thoughtful design, which Mari helped to drive. Highly recommended! read more

There's a reason why all of the other reviews are 5 stars - this is the real deal. I'm so very happy having one of my art pieces framed here. Great quality of work, owner is very good at giving good advise when you don't know exactly what direction to go, and the price was competitive in the area. I will absolutely return and suggest others to use Picture This for framing needs! read more

I had an old (1945), large oil painting cleaned and reframed at Picture This. I was astonished at how beautiful it looked when Marisol had completed the process. It is a family heirloom and was very, very dirty with smoke, dust and who knows what else. Marisol was able to bring it back to its original colors and I couldn't be happier. She was very patient with me as I was selecting the new frame. I also had a smaller oil painting reframed at the same time and she made good suggestions that helped me decide which frames to use. Altogether, I couldn't be happier with my experience at Picture This and I consider it money well spent. read more

So professional & articulate! Don't waste your $ at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Absolutely beautiful work read more

Marisol is very kind and knowledgeable. I appreciate that she gives suggestions and adds her knowledge on what frames match. I have taken a few pieces to her and she prefers to make individual time for you so that she can focus on your needs. read more

Picture This Gallery & Custom Framing - Aaron de la Cruz signed art. In a vintage looking black frame - Framing Near Me - Long Beach, California

I walked in with my client that was in need for a frame to use for a mirror for her vanity. We found exactly what she wanted and the transaction was pleasant and Madi delivered the frame to her home a few days later. I deceived that I wanted to have Madi do the frame I've been looking to do for a portrait that was done of my dog that had recently passed. She was very helpful and together we designed a beautiful/perfect frame that consisted of three separate frames put together to create what I will forever have in my life. Thank you! Duke looks even more handsome in his beautiful frame! read more

For a little bit more money than going to a big-box store, Mari created three perfect frames for a collection of posters for our front room. She took time to review the art in detail, suggest framing options, and give detailed pricing upfront. All of the posters had typical poster problems -- curvature, small wrinkles, and dents -- but you would never know. I have a lot more unframed stuff of a wide range of value, but I think Mari will make the cheap stuff look good and the "real" art look perfect. Mari also designed a custom metal frame for a gift. It was gorgeous and I greedily wanted to keep that frame for my own art! Also, the shop has very conscientious Covid distancing and sanitation policies. read more

We are so happy with our framed canvas! I brought in an old, beat up canvas copy of Garden of Early Delights from the Prado museum that needed a custom frame. Mari provided plenty of frame choices and ideas on how much of the border should be trimmed or shown. The canvas looks PERFECT in the frame and is beautifully flat/ preserved. She also previously fixed one of our prints that arrived with broken glass. Again- fantastic job! read more

They did a beautiful, high quality framing job. I will definitely be bringing my other framing projects to this business. She was also very helpful with choosing the frame and the matte for my project. As this is a small business, you get more attentive customer service, and the projects are given TLC by one person. I'm very pleased with the finished product and the service. read more

Thank you so much for going above and beyond. We love our framed tapestry. It's stunning and is already hanging lovingly in our home. Beautiful work and such caring service. We'll certainly be back ! read more

Wonderful experience having an important art piece re-framed. The owner took plenty of time helping me select the best choice for framing. The price was very reasonable and the final product looks great hanging on our wall. Thank you! read more

Mari has done a few projects for us, including framing some art and stretching a large canvas. She did such a wonderful job on them all! She was thorough on going through various frames and mat options for the frames and gave wonderful suggestions on how to make them look their best. The large canvas she stretched was an expensive custom painting and we really couldn't be happier! It wa a big job and it looks perfect. So happy to have found Mari for our framing needs! read more

Chris is so caring and in to what she is creating! I would highly recommend her! I love her little shop as well and the location! read more

Great pricing, quick service and a wide selection to choose from. I came here on somewhat of a time crunch, and the lady there was kind enough to accomodate me. She did an awesome job on my picture even though she was swamped, and had it framed and ready to go in two hours! Since my work location is right down the street I'll be back :) read more

So impressed with the caring and professionalism of the owner is this Gallery and framing shop.

This place was exactly what I needed!!! Got an old movie poster that needed a frame built! The owner Marisol really knows her stuff and will get all the details to ensure you get exactly what your are trying to create! Plus if you're looking sad and need a pick me up she'll sing you a beautiful Aria! Come check it out! I will definitely be doing business with her again. read more

We tried this place because of the good reviews on Yelp. However I can't comment on the quality of work because the place was closed during business hours with no indication of when it would be reopened. Why bother having your hours on Yelp if you don't keep them? I suggest calling ahead to make sure they're actually open. read more

I've been getting posters, pictures, and other troublesome and special projects framed here for over 10 years, and I highly recommend it. The exceptional quality is reasonably priced and I don't think there is any framing problem or challenge that can't be beautifully completed. I simply will not go anywhere else. I would rather wait for Mattie to return from vacation or an errand, than to take my chance somewhere else. Additionally, the owner is a delight to talk to and she frequently contributes to the community in a variety of settings. read more

This woman is a true professional. Marisol does wonders with framing & restoring photos. She also holds amazing exhibits every couple months - WHICH YOU ALL SHOULD GO AND SEE. I've seen her work on frames and her attention to detail is insane. I highly recommend her to everyone for their framing needs. read more

What beautiful matting. Great job on the print. Fair price and excellent service. You need to check this place out for any of your art work needs or for art four purchase. read more

Marisol was great and gives wonderful insight. I brought a family print from my grandma and she helped reframe it. I couldn't be more happy!

I had two textiles that my grandmother had made and wanted to frame and preserve them. The owner was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the process, and helping me to pick out the best frames and matting to enhance each of the textiles. She hand sewed the pieces to the backer board with a lovely silk behind the textile. Everyone who sees them for the first time comments on them. Don't even think about putting them in the Michael's or Aaron brother's category. They are so far above them. Their work is professional, very high quality. I need to qualify my ranking for pricing - I think they're between Moderate and Pricey - but you get what you pay for - paying a bit extra for excellent service, knowledge and quality is worth it to me. I was so glad I picked this place. For quality framing, and great advice to make your project really come together, I'd highly recommend Picture This. read more

The store has a wide assortment of frames with varying pricing and the owner has extensive knowledge of proper framing and matting. I will always bring my treasured piece here instead of Michaels. The work always comes out more superior and I receive tons OF compliments that eventually gives her more sales! All around very professional and recommend the store highly. read more

A friend and I stopped in over the holidays to check out the annual La Virgen art exhibit, featuring local artists. We were glad that we visited the gallery -- what a treat; it was a great show! read more

I absolutely needed to write a review after my experience. Mari was tasked with a very important project that required a short time line. She was so helpful and attentive to what I needed and was able to help me. The store felt very cozy and comfortable. She made my project feel just as important to her as it did to me and did a beautiful job with framing a memorial picture for a funeral. It was a great experience, Mari's was very attentive and I felt very welcome in the shop. Also, while you're there check out her photography skills.....I love the Virgin Mary picture from San Francisco and very well may have to buy it one day....!! read more

This is a gem of a frame shop! The owner is knowledgeable about conservation framing and methods and will help you choose the perfect and appropriate frame and matting for your needs! You will get personal attention, not like those craft store frame shops and you will be much happier with the results! There are photo restoration services available and a rotating gallery of local art is on display. Be sure you don't miss any of the special art openings or galas...The Frida look alike contest is always a hit! read more

The owner Marisol Gomez is amazing.

I don't even know where to start with this review but here goes: I brought in a moldy, dusty, enormous painting my father did when he was a kid on crumbly particle board of some kind that had been stored for more than 60 (yes 60) years in my grandparents garage. I unearthed it and fell madly in love with the idea of restoring and framing it but had no idea where to start. Mari took that painting and lovingly cleaned it, dried it out, revarnished it and somehow made a frame to fit (it wasn't even square) and didn't make me feel like a total idiot for going through all that trouble for a painting many would have just tossed in the trash. I can't thank her enough for her hard work, encouragement and time spent on something that means so much to me. Her price was fair, work was done in a timely manner and she was a pleasure to work with. Wow! Just sooooo impressed! I'm so glad I researched for a local custom framer rather than just going to the big name frame shop, I got top notch customer service and felt great during the whole experience. I highly recommend for all your framing needs, Picture This Gallery and Custom Framing. There is great artwork to check out too! read more

Custom Framing at its best! Top notch service. You get personal attention, and unsurpassed attention to detail.
