Charles’ Custom Picture Framing

Charles is excellent and his work is top notch. He has a great eye in his suggestions of mats and frames, and is resourceful in offering unique options. He has totally rejuvenated several large prints and paintings of ours that needed updating. It’s amazing how different your art can look with his fresh perspective in framing.
He is a good listener and is respectful of your aesthetic tastes. Whether you envision something subtle or you’re looking for the Wow-​factor — he totally gets it. His pricing is reasonable and fair. Charles and his colleague, Cesar, are true professionals.
I have an art background and continue to be impressed with their professional work.

I have been using Charles for almost 20 years now and never thought to write a review. I was looking up his address and thought that I should as he provides amazing customer service. He’s a good man and gives stellar prices. Please do not hesitate but go and use Charles. He often has ideas for mats and framing that I would never think of and he knows his stuff.

Heartened by the excellent reviews, I took over a picture to be framed. I have no complaints about the quality of the work, only disappointment that the frame I was shown as a sample was not what I received. And this was my mistake: I was not specific that I wanted matte wood like the sample (I got shiny), and I was not specific about the thickness of the frame, exactly like the sample (I got a thinner frame), I just assumed that the sample was what I would get. Nothing was written down except the dimensions of the entire picture so I had not a leg to stand on here. Do not do what I did. Make sure you specify everything you want and have him write it all down for you. You just might get a great deal. I did not and wouldn’t go back.

Charles Framing your one stop shop for all your framing needs!
Pros: Charles and his staff do it all. Their is not a person in la that has the experience that Charles does. He also has a good feel of what frame options go well with your custom items. He ultimately knows well what framing combinations would bring your piece to life.
His pricing is fair and he tries to accommodate when you are a routine customer and have bulk orders. He gives the order a personal overlook and you get what you paid for.
Cons: it is a small team that is busy around the clock so you need to clarify when you need the piece by and hopefully you can find scheduled time that works. Otherwise great!
Novelty: tenured owner — who knows is work well!

I can’t stop raving about Charles and Cesar! I’ve been a customer for almost ten years now and I’ve never left the shop, unsatisfied. Their attention to detail and all-​around superior workmanship never cease to amaze me. The shop may look a little cluttered, but trust me, these guys know what they are doing. You can’t go wrong here.

If you want a great frame at half the price of the competitors this is the place to go. Very friendly service too.

They have done amazing job after job on many things I’ve had framed. They are ready to made suggestions with your choice of frame and matting that totally made everything pop. I was very pleased that I’ve found a new framer! Fair and reasonably priced and Charles always offers a wide variety of choices. Street parking or parking in rear available.

I have been using Charles Picture Framing for over 20 years and have experienced only the finest service and quality of work possible. Charles and Cesar are true artisans. The work performed in the shop is done «OLD SCHOOL» no computers no machines, just professional high quality hand built frames of perfection. Also the personal attention to design and frame options are incredible. This is not walking into some fancy Beverly Hills type of operation run by the employees, this is an amazing place, with incredibly talented people who give you personal attention to every detail. They offer service for the smallest of picture framing needs, to the most high end incredibly valuable art, all done with the same degree of perfection.

I am a designer and have had many clients’ work framed here as well as my own. i think I know exactly what I want but then Charles makes a wee little suggestion and I realize that his taste is impeccable and he knows better than I often do what looks best. He has a vast assortment of frames and liners and matte boards. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

What a great place for framing! I have brought several pieces here and have been thrilled each time. And the price is so right! Don’t bother with the fast framing, these guys love their craft!

Highly recommend this business. Consistently superlative workmanship at reasonable prices, and a quick turnaround too (even during holiday times). I wouldn’t go anywhere else for custom framing.
