We love looking at our framed piece and I can't wait to get my next pieces framed by them.

My fiancé found this custom framing place through Yelp when we needed to find someone to create a…read morecustom frame for our crane display. Since our crane display was 3D, we needed someone who could create a frame around our art piece. My husband went to the shop to talk to the owner and ended up leaving our crane piece with him to frame. We selected a white frame, and the owner suggested that we add in a blue boarded inside the frame (which you can't see unless you're standing and looking at the frame on the side). Our custom frame was completed in such a quick time and when we went to go pick it up, we were blown away. It was just the right touch to finish off our crane artwork and piece everything together. Service here was so great - it's a husband + wife team and they really compliment each other with what they bring to this business. If you're looking for a custom framing business, look no further because JS Shiah Company is the way to go! So many customizable options, quick turnaround, great quality. Bonus - if you like dogs, they have two adorable friendly ones that hang out at the shop with them.

They wanted the same exact look and material as was used by a previous vendor. PPF not only found the same frame material, but they were able to perfectly replicate the mat board used for each frame. And the pricing? They beat our previous vendor by a couple grand. Can't complain at all about that. Only minor gripe is that ordering and billing is old school here. Invoices are hand written on NCR. Probably could use an upgrade in this regard. Would give customers a little peace of mind knowing your order isn't going to be lost. Other than that, would definitely recommend!

To my pleasant surprise, the experience was seamless! The quality of service and care demonstrated by John and Grace was exceptional! John patiently answered all of my questions and took the time to help me select the perfect matting, framing and glass for my artwork. The project was completed in half the time I expected. When I arrived to pick up the order, Grace showed me the pieces and made certain that I was happy with the each one. Grace explained the method she used to identify the correct measurements to ensure proportional balance. So impressive! Clearly John and Grace take seriously what they do and enjoy making artwork reach it's "exhibition potential". Needless to say, the final outcome was beyond my expectation! I highly recommend Mission Framing.

I think some of the lower reviews here are from people who perhaps do not speak Chinese, or are not…read moreused to the slightly more direct, "brusque" way in which we Chinese do business. We don't beat around the bush or use flowery talk to loosen up your wallet. Top marks for Chaing's Frame. I came here at the recommendation of several friends who have had traditional Chinese art and calligraphy mounted and framed here. Make no mistake -- you cannot take traditional art painted on rice paper to, say, Aaron's Brothers. They will mangle it. Chinese rice paper needs to be either steamed or ironed to flatten all the wrinkles out, and then soaked in a special glue for perfectly flat mounting. Chiang's Frame knows exactly how these techniques are done and executed them flawlessly. I could not be happier.
