Delicate Touch

Delicate Touch is tucked away in a corner in Merced — pretty much at the furthest west end of 18^th Street — it would be no surprise if you hadn’t heard of it. I certainly had no idea it was there until a friend recommended their framing service. And I’m very happy I was able to get that recommendation! Framing professional and co-​owner Al was incredibly helpful, patient and, as the results show, skilled as a framer. He has a great appreciation for art and aesthetics, and is ready and willing to take the time to work with you until you’re happy. Many frame shops (both large and small) are on the clock and will limit the time they’ll spend with you — Al, on the other hand, creates a relaxed atmosphere and gives you all the time you need. He makes great suggestions, advises and teaches the finer points of framing, and the finished product speaks to his expertise and dedication. I would unreservedly recommend Delicate Touch!
