I've gone to York Gallery to have my paintings and projects framed for many years and I'm always happy at the outstanding work they do to make my artwork look better. This is the go-to-shop for both ready made and custom made frames. Robin, the owner, and her staff always take their time with me and are amazing at suggesting a variety of choices rather than trying to shuffle me out the door like other stores do. Customer Service is alive and well at York Framing Gallery. I highly recommend them. read more

Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. I came in last minute before Christmas with odd shaped print , they had me in and out in 15-20 min and price was reasonable. This was my first time using them and I'm definitely going back. Thanks read more

If you need something framed, this is the place to go! Robin is an absolute powerhouse - she helped me through a DIY giant frame project with grace & ease. And it was affordable too! I can't recommend this place enough! read more

There are good people in the world, and York Gallery staff are good people. They're going to take care of you and frame your art to perfection. I'm very pleased with the job they did for me. read more

Robin was super kind and helpful. I told her that I needed this piece by a certain date and she said it would be no problem. It's a week after the date they said it would be ready and it's not ready. Tomorrow was my drop dead. I don't buy that the committed date is just an estimate. The day before it was originally supposed to be ready they discovered that they didn't have the product they needed to do the job. Really? Wouldn't you have checked that sooner? I'm super disappointed bc this place does do a nice job. But you can't count on them. And you have to follow up with them. Nothing proactive happening here. Bummed. read more

Today I went in to get some advice on framing something I thought would be difficult. Kelly to the rescue! She helped me figure out the frame I needed, and was able to cut a mat on the spot! Her color sense was excellent, and I am so happy with the finished product! I have used their services for years, and have never been disappointed. read more

We're been using York to frame our art for ten years & have been really pleased with their work. I stopped by today to drop off a few pieces & am even more impressed. They're conscientious; she asked what room the art would be hanging in so she could match the glass & mat to the art that's already there. York will continue to be our framer of choice! read more

They did an amazing job framing a poster! I definitely recommend this place and will likely use them in the future.

I recently had some very special artwork framed at York Framing Gallery. It was a very custom job, in that it would include five individual Native California flowers, framed side-by-side in a long horizontal row. The "special" aspect of this job was the fact that these scientific illustrations were created by my talented daughter. Though I know that I probably could have done the framing myself, I know from experience that I should hire a professional for some things. ...and there's no way I could have done the framing myself with anything near the quality that I got from the pros at York Framing Gallery. I had some ideas about what I wanted, but needed the expertise of York to tell me if my idea was feasable. Robin and her friendly, helpful team helped me pick out frame styles and matte colors. We tried lots of different combinations. That was a lot of fun. Later, my daughter and I saw that there was going to be a special "Art of Nature" exhibit at the Santa Cruz "Museum of Natural History", and they were accepting submissions from artists wanting to participate. The submission required a framed piece, ready for hanging and the scientific illustrations were just the sort of thing they were looking for. ...so she filled out the application and submitted a photo of the framed pieces and then we crossed our fingers for a month, waiting to hear back, When we did hear back from the museum, we were delighted to find that my daughter's framed illustrations were selected to participate in the Art of Nature exhibit. Though it was my daughter's artwork that won her an opportunity to participate in the museum event, I know that the quality of the framing by York Framing Gallery accentuated and presented the illustrations in a very special way through thoughtful consideration of frames, matting, and complimentary colors. When I have a very special framing job, I will definitely go back to York Framing Gallery. Jerry read more

I can't say enough good things about York Framing! Not only is the staff super friendly and helpful, but they do a great job for a reasonable cost. Kelly always remembers me when I come in and has been incredibly helpful in finding a frame, designing the perfect mat and making suggestions to make the art piece look amazing. They never try to upsell you and always spend so much time with you to ensure you are happy with the results. I will never go anywhere else for frames. All of the staff is wonderful and they do a fantastic job. Thank you so much York framing! Tea Taylor read more

York Framing Gallery - Toby and Sasha, framed beautifully by York Framing Gallery - Framing Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

Went in with a priceless work of art and Sophia did a fantastic job preparing the framing exactly how I wanted it! Super cheap too!!

Love their selection. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Very busy store so if you plan on framing for the holiday plan ahead and get it there 6 months ahead. Worth the wait. read more

All their framers are cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable. I have brought several pieces to them. They all look great.

York did a great job framing a poster of mine. When I got it back the wood frame -- through no fault of York -- was not what I expected and I wanted to change it. They showed me a number of alternatives. After I chose a different frame the reworked it in a week and with minimal cost. They're really nice folks, very professional and very accommodating. I highly recommend York Framing Gallery. read more

If you're searching for a place where quality work is done by wonderful people who truly care about their customers, then look no further! For as long as I live in Northern California, this will be my "go to" for anything framing; That much is certain. read more

My walls are full of art pieces framed by the lovely talented people at York Gallery. Sometimes I know just what I want and they make it happen; sometimes I don't and ask them to do what they think is best. I'm always thrilled with the outcome! read more

Far and away the best frame shop I've had the pleasure of working with. Talented, fun to work with and collaborative. Not inexpensive but good framing makes the art. Very highly recommended! read more

I have enlisted their services numerous times over the years. I have asked them to frame antique family documents. They have always exceeded my expectations. They do excellent work. read more

I've never had anything framed in my life because like most millennial, at 24, I still consider myself a child that doesn't need things framed super fancy. BUT, I recently came back from a trip that truly meant a lot to me and I found some art there that I thought deserved better than a discount frame from the back of Ross. I came to York not even knowing what to expect or really how I wanted my piece to look even at all. Kelly scooped me up immediately and helped me express my vision. She was so nice and patient and when I was like, "oh shit, that's the price?" We figured out ways to lower it without compromising the flow of everything visually. I was really afraid that, since I chose a little bit of a tropical theme, that I was accidentally going to make something incredibly tacky, but Kelly made it look like a damn dream!!! I can't wait to own this for many years to come. Thanks for everything York!!!!!! read more

York Framing Gallery - In love!!! Thanks Kelly!!!!! - Framing Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

I made another new friend today! Her name is Robin and she is a framing angel! I am so glad that I stopped in today to have a beautiful painting framed. I wanted something fancy. Robin helped me pick out the matting and a beautiful ornate gold frame to compliment the vibrant colors in the painting. I had NO idea that there are so many frame styles and designs to choose from! With Robin's help and expertise I was able to see that my painting will add flair to my wall and be a conversation piece. Will I be back? YES! Because now I know that there is much more to frames than the end of the aisle red tag section at TJ Maxx and because it is time to have my beloved drawings and paintings displayed elegantly. read more

Wonderful business!!! I went in with a piece that needed some restoration, and they were very kind and professional. They gave me information about who I need to see, and did some preliminary work which has given me peace of mind. read more

I've been coming here for years and the paintings as well as posters all have been attractively framed. Over the last few years, they changed hands and I'm sure they finished project will be artfully done. They gave me the choice of bringing home samples of the different frames . One of the frames I've used in the past, they did not have in stock, they contacted the company to get a samples for me. This is the type of service that sets this frame shop above others. read more

York Framing Gallery is the ONLY place in Santa Cruz to trust your mounting and framing needs to. I contacted them with a last-minute, large format (6'x4'), mounting job. By last minute I mean less than 24 hours. I was stressing out to say the least but Robin and her team alleviated that stress by being informative, flexible and by doing a terrific job. I almost gave this review only 4 stars because there was an issue with the placing of the order, but this problem was handled in such a professional manner, that when I thought it through I realized that that is EXACTLY how we all wish such situations would be handled by every business we deal with. And we all know that that is hardly the case. It is because of this approach and the subsequent outcome that Robin and her team warrant the fifth star. The work = perfection. Professionalism = First Class Will I take my future projects to York? Yes, definitely. read more

I do watercolor painting as a hobby and York has framed my paintings for years. They do a great job framing my work. Recently I had a painting of a macaw parrot to frame. I usually have them frame the paintings, but this time did not want to spend the money and I was looking for a ready-made frame and matte. Robin confirmed that the choice I made for the matte color complemented the colors in the painting and helped me choose a wonderful frame. She also took the time to walk me through the process to put it together myself. I highly recommend this business! read more

I have been going here for some time now for all of my framing needs and would not go anywhere else! Robin and her staff are awesome and I throughly enjoy supporting this local business. They do a wonderful job! Thanks guys! Meg read more

Hey Guys, In the last year or so I have had several pieces framed here and I think they do a fabulous job. The staff, and new owner Robin Lerios are very attentive, patient, and sweet. I don't live in SC and I still make time to drive down to support this fabulous business. I wouldn't go to anywhere else! read more

Had another great experience with the extremely friendly and helpful folks at York Gallery. While I was there, two "regulars" came in and it was as if they were family. Robin and Sofia took a lot of time to help me with my items, determine the best way to mat, cut multiple windows, choose the right frame etc. I highly recommend them. read more

I came here with my 94 year old Grandmother to have her paintings reframed. Anthony helped us find more modern frames that still complimented her rustic style paintings. He was patient and had a great eye for the colors and lines in the painting. He was able to select just the right style frame for each painting to really make them pop. York's customer service is impeccable and illustrates why it's important to support local businesses who truly cater to their customers. My Grandma is so excited to see the new life York has brought to her paintings. read more

Very disappointed. I came here with two artworks - an oil painting that needed to be stretched and a gouache. The painting was stretched ok, just ok, nothing outstanding - with some minor waves, but it looks great compared to the other artwork. I wanted a particular color of matting, but they did not have it in the size that I needed. As a result the manager convinced me to go for a much darker tone than I initially planned. I decided to trust the specialist. After almost three months of waiting and almost 400 dollars spent on the framing I received the artwork that looks extremely dark, gloomy and doesn't not match the color of my kitchen (I showed the photos of the kitchen to the manager when we were choosing the matting). If it was not for the unusual size of the artwork, Ikea would be a 100 better and 20 times cheaper solution. I regret choosing this framing gallery. read more

I just wanted to post about the fabulous experience I had today at York. I brought in 10 pieces of work to be framed. I had very few ideas of how I wanted them framed. Robin took the wheel and had the vision to enhance the artwork beyond my expectations! I had made an appointment and I was there for 2 hours. Robin took her time with each piece to make sure she was bringing out the essence of each piece. Her energy and love for life was bubbling over. Great day... read more

The staff at York Gallery are helpful, gracious and courteous. Sophia was so incredibly knowledgeable on types of frames and mats that I may want based on my description. The finish product was better than I could've hoped, especially as it was a gift for a family member. The store pushed through the order in a shorter timespan so I could be assured of having the finished picture ready to attend the party with gift in hand. read more

York Framing Gallery is awesome. The staff is friendly, inviting and extremely knowledged in the craft of framing. I had them make a shadow box frame with some items from the night I got engaged. It is so beautiful that when I presented it as a surprise to my Fiance', she actually teared up a bit! I highly recommend York when it comes to framing. read more

We get all of our framing done at York. All of the staff are talented, creative, and professional. They do wonderful work here.

Nicole just helped me to pick out the frame, matting and glass for my new pictures. She was very patient and just so helpful!!!! I highly recommend this place..... they are so nice!! Can't wait to pick up my new art piece!! I actually went back there because they were so helpful last time I went in with just a few questions. read more

I am always so pleased when I go to pick up my project and I see how amazing it has turned out. read more

I'm embarrassed to say I was tentative when the person who offered to help me was a young person and I questioned her expertise. She proved me completely wrong and provided some of the most expert advice and professional service I've ever experienced in SC. They really get how personal it is to frame artwork, and they know their stuff! read more

Don't look any further for framing needs, this is a great local business, with excellent service and reasonable prices. Very personalized help to make your project or art look it's best. I will be back for sure! read more

I can't say enough great things about York Framing. Robin provided us with absolute A+ service from start to finish. We brought in our family portrait to be framed and while choosing the matting and frame I really didn't have to express what I was looking for; it was if she read my mind and matched everything exactly as I had envisioned. My hubby just picked up the portrait yesterday and it is AMAZING. It is hanging beautifully above our fireplace and definitely is the focal point of the room. Thanks so much Robin and York Framing! I definitely recommend them! read more

Can't wait to see what they do with my beautiful new painting of my favorite horse - high style. Love the new location!
