Great service, quick turnaround, and endless options! They got me a great custom matte for a print, as well as framed some oil paintings I was worried would be hard to preserve! read more

Mario and his team not only found the exact type of glass needed to fix my broken, beloved picture (damaged in a cross-country move), but gave me frequent updates, a good price and then DELIVERED the finished product. And it was delivered on a weekend! I can't say enough good things about this small business. If you need a picture repaired or something framed, this is where to go. read more

I love this place! Mario is the best. He has a great eye and does a great job at a totally reasonable price! I just had four pieces framed and it's like having a whole new room. Yay Mario! read more

No grade inflation here! This place did a masterful job repairing a picture frame that's been in our family for 40 years. It was part of a three-painting display on our hallway wall. When the hanger holding up one of the frames broke and the picture crashed to the floor, we thought we would have to replace all three identical frames since the broken one looked like a lost cause. Not so according to Mario, the owner of Silverlake Custom Frame. He promised the repairs will be made within 2 weeks and he was true to his word. The repaired frame looks like it never fell off the hallway wall. Glad to know there are reputable and talented service people around like Mario! read more

Pretty good place. Mario is nice. but he doesn't do high end framing (museum glass, etc.). But if you want something that doesn't need to be framed to archival standards, this is a great place to go. He also has a much much faster turn around time than most places. read more

Very pleased with the suggestion and finished frame for a painting I brought in Cambodia. Everything was complete in a timely manner! Definitely coming back! THANK YOU!! read more

Silver Lake Custom Frame - Framing on this custom painting came out amazing!!!! - Framing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. I brought in a $500 print in July of last year. Was told I would get a call when it was ready. 2 weeks go by, no call. I stop by 3 times, place is closed each time. I go out of town on business. When I get back, I stop by, and they don't have my print. They don't know where it is. They have no record of me ever dropping it off. I show them my $200 receipt for framing. They say they'll call when they find it. Never call. They straight up lost my print, took my money, and claimed I never came by. Never gave me a refund, either. read more

So disappointing. I really wanted to support a local business, but SCF completely dropped the ball. I left a photograph and a resume to be framed, and worked out the details for when I would pick it up. When I arrived on a Saturday at the scheduled time, not only did I have to wait an hour before the owner showed up, but he also hadn't even framed my work! And he had trouble locating it in his shop, due to poor organization. What a bummer. Buyer Beware read more

For my father's 65th birthday, I managed to find online an old bookmark produced by his grandfather's silk printing factory. It was a rare find, and I wanted to make it very special. The guy at Silverlake Custom Frame helped me pick out a beautiful frame, and he did a wonderful job of matting it so that you could see the full bookmark on the front, with its intricate edges, and then the back was glass too, and he designed a window in the matte so that you could see the printing on the rear of the bookmark. It is the only remnant of that old family business that we have. And when my father opened the gift, he was very moved. He also commented on how beautifully framed it was. He was right. These guys did a terrific job with a complicated frame. They made something special that much more special, and I am grateful to them for doing such wonderful work. I highly recommend this business. read more

It was expensive and owner did not deliver on date promised. It sounded like he only started doing the job the day he promised to have it finish. Called me to delay pick up twice. What's worst, I went to the shop on the day he told me to pick up. Arrived at 1:40pm, saw a sign saying he will be back at 2pm so I waited..2 hours!!! Finally give up! What a unreliable business! read more

Excellent service and craftsmanship. Had 4 prints ranging in various sizes framed in less than two weeks for a great price. Have previously paid much more and waited for almost two months at other places that were recommended. This will be my new go to framer. Highly recommended! read more

Silver Lake Custom Frame - Framing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Quality framing, fair prices and an overall great experience. Certain pieces that just needed mats were $20-50. $150 for a large poster frame and mat. Ended up paying much less than I thought I would and had a nice conversation with the owner while he helped me. read more

Nice guy. Helped me out when we needed to replace the glass on a frame. $35--reasonable.

Love the fact that it's owner operated. Sweet guy who has framed 20+ items for me. Always satisfied. Support your local businesses!

I've been going to Mario for almost 20 years and love collaborating with him on framing art from my collection as well as my own work. He does an exquisite job and cares deeply about his customers. I now consider him a part of my family and have the results of his fine workmanship all around our home. read more

Mario is great. He greets you with a smile and a handshake. Even though his store had technically closed, he allowed me to visit since he was still working. He did a great job on advising on frame, matte, and colors. He is a one man show but he produces excellent results in a short time frame. In order to meet my request of monday afternoon, he worked over the weekend to meet the deadline. The only reason I gave him 4 is because it was a bit pricey. Regardless, I will continue to visit Mario for my framing needs as he is a local business owner, and I want to support the Silverlake community. read more

I have been going to Mario for about 12 years since I moved into the neighborhood. He has framed at least a dozen paintings for me and I am always so happy to see him. He has great suggestions about framing that I otherwise would not have chosen. He is always spot on with his ideas and I couldn't be happier with the work he does. I've framed a lot of art and he is by far cheaper and faster than your average framer. I can't recommend him enough. Support your local businesses. read more

Their innovation genius was a major key. I brought in two frames and two canvases that did not fit together and asked the team to retrofit them. They were able to in a timely fashion, and when there was a delay, the owner communicated that with me, but still kept a reasonable timeline for delivery. When I picked up the frames, it was a super quick pick up and everything was to my liking and exactly how I wanted it, and now in the future I would like to work with them on future projects. read more

pretty solid framing from a local spot and -- yes -- reasonable prices. mario and sons will take the creative approach to your project and design a frame that truly suits the art that lives in it. for a 90s chloe sevigny photo from a ray gun magazine spread, we matched the frame to her red lipstick and for two autographed tickets from a concert, they built a shadow box. and for a double-sided print, they built the back of the frame from plexi -- quite the conversation piece! i'm thinking of taking a 47x63 french cinema poster there soon. most places quoted me a price far higher than the cost of the poster! if you're sick of aaron brothers prices but still want to give your art a classy frame, give them a shout and tell them andrew sent you. read more

Mario made 2 phonecalls to get back to me, and had the shop open for longer hours for a few days so we could stop in. He did this, as well as made some generous offers and sincere apologies to make up for the days that the shop was closed. I appreciate that he is a human, and that these things do happen. I think the framing itself was okay. The glass moves a little, it's not laid in super tight. But he got the job done, it's light weight, and looks good on my wall above my drum set, which is just what I had hoped for. The price was very fair. read more

I first came to Mario to frame about 10 posters for the local library in 1999...he gave me a great deal and I've been coming back ever since. For $20 posters and $2000 paintings he gives the same attention and works with you to come up with the perfect frame and matte; a real treasure for Silver Lake read more

Efficient, professional and excellent customer service! Very very happy with my framed print and will definitely be back when I need anything else framed. read more

you can't get better!!!! I'ver been going to Mario a long time- I have an extensive collection and he's always right!

mario does beautiful work and is a joy to talk to.

They did a great job! It seems a little pricey? I'm not sure to be honest - I only had mats cut, which I'd never done before. But $30 for 3 small basic white mats - didn't even include assembling in frame - was more than I anticipated. And they weren't ready by the date they were promised. But hey, whatever, it's down the street from my house, he's good, he's nice, go small business! read more

Mario did a great job framing an antique map for me. He had good ideas on the frame and matting and it came out beautiful. He completed the work on time and for a fair price. All around good guy who does good work. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Wow! This Latino veteran framer of Echo Park sure learned about gentrification and how to do "white people's prices." Charged almost $90 for the EXACT same cheap framing job you can get on Fairfax and 3rd a Quick Art Frame for $20. I have went to the latter for 20 years. Lazy me...didn't want to make the long journey from Silverlake to Fairfax and 3rd. I paid the price. LITERALLY. So angry. SO ANGRY! We're not living in times where we can afford to lose money! So...the conclusion is this: Do not go here, unless you are wealthy and lazy in the neighborhood. I am not at all wealthy and lost lots of money. I should have went to my usual place. Don't fall for his smile and kindness. He's secretly laughing at you, assuming you are a trust fund hipster or a wealthy yuppie. This is a basic thin metal black frame backed with cheap foam core and a few screws. I was expecting real frame work and beautifully done for that crazy price. Didn't happen. read more

TERRIBLE!!! I took in 3 professional oil paintings in hand-painted frames, just to have the backing replaced. They weren't ready when I went to pick them up -- the owner said he "forgot them." He asked me to wait -- and then NAILED THROUGH one of the hand-painted frames. Two nails, POKING OUT THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE FRAME. Two holes. The frame is ruined. When I showed him, he said it was my fault, because "he used the original nails." Which WERE NOT drilled through the front of the frame when I took it in. No apology, no refund for the permanent damage to the frame. He wouldn't even wrap the paintings when I asked, just shoved them in a bag. An absolutely terrible, COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL shop. read more

Quality work. Mario, framer and owner, is so nice and such a pro! I had some Shag prints and some photographs framed here and they look fantastic. He helped with with select the right size for both the frame and the mats. If you're not too sure what you want, but know you want it to look awesome; come here and let Mario show you the way! Oh, and he gets it done quickly, too! read more

Mario is a nice guy who did a wonderful job framing a 13x19 portrait that i needed done last minute. Very grateful for his service.

this guy is so nice and he did a wonderful job. he also makes great suggestions. a tiny little shop with tons to offer.

Have taken three pictures there..Limited Edition Picasso print and two large maps. Great framing, good rates. Worked with Mario, who also came to my home and hung the pictures for a nominal fee. read more
