Pacific Coast Art & Frame

A little on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. My frame turned out awesome! They do excellent work here, and they are very friendly.

Hector has created several custom frames for me in the past 2 years. His work is to be admired. He is not the least expensive framer in town, but I know I will get a quality product. Supporting a local Orange business is also important to me.

I was recommended by my friend to come to this place and I am so happy I did! They did an amazing job on a jersey that I gave to my dad as a Christmas gift. The framing came out so professional, I couldn’t be happier. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone I know.

Called looking for picture anchors. He was very polite on the phone and offered to provide them to me free of charge after an intense debate I walked away with paying for them as I wanted to support his local business. The store is very cleanly and has some awesome local Southern California city prints for sale. I highly recommend going to him for any picture questions as I had regarding weight of pictures. I look forward to coming in and getting some custom shadow box work done for Christmas. Support your local business this place is awesome.

Very friendly and as we walked in other customers were saying we had come to the right place with smiles.

Thanks to Unilocal for turning me to another great local business. I came in here to get a poster framed for my son’s room. I really didn’t know what I wanted. Hector walked me through all my options and spent some time showing me how the print would look framed. My print came out better than I could of imagined. Thanks for taking great care of me and at a great price. CHEERS!!!

I’ve had three things framed by Hector (so far), and have been really impressed/​satisfied with each one… he’s really nice, and will work with you on price, is way better than any chain framer, generally cheaper, and an all around better way to go if you’re trying to get stuff framed.
A++, five stars, will come again! :)

I think I have had over five pieces of art framed by Hector in the past few months. Each time he is done a great job. There is nobody else I would trust with my business. I always enjoy keeping my money within the city of Orange and Hector makes that an easy choice. You will not be disappointed if you go to his shop. It will be an enjoyable experience, I can promise you that.

I went to Aaron Bros. framing about a block away and asked for my print to be matted and placed in a frame I had purchased already. They wanted to charge me close to two hundred dollars, and all just for glass and mattes. I asked if it could be done without to glass to save some money and they told me no. I took it to Hector and he offered to take care of it for eighty-​eight dollars. He told me that he Could do what I wanted without the glass and was great helping me to choose how to setup what I wanted. The best isn’t always the Big business, and that is certainly true here.

Hector did an amazing job re-​framing our wedding picture that was originally framed elsewhere. He has many frames to pick from. Prior to going through his frames, we asked him for a suggestion. After looking through his frames, his suggestion was the best option! We have been enjoying our picture and get many compliments in it’s new frame. Thank you…

DO NOT GO HERE!!!
The owner working here dishonest. I needed a few pictures custom framed so I decided to come to this place since the owner quoted me a cheaper price than other places.
I ordered the pictures with the acid free foam board, acid free matting, and UV glass. I had done some research on the UV glass online and through a few other framing shops prior to ordering it and learned that there are small visual difference between UV glass and regular glass (e.g. regular glass has a green cut edge and does not have the micro ripples that UV glass has). (side note: UV glass is the single most best way to protect you artwork from fading. It protects from any type of direct or indirect light).
When I received the completed project, the owner confirmed that he used the UV glass (this was my second time asking). I got home and did not see the small micro ripples (similar to an orange peel look) in the glass.
To make a long story short, I took the pictures to Aaron Brothers for a 2^nd opinion. They open the frames and took out green cornered glass (no UV protection what so ever). They also mentioned that the back foam board was not acid free (they could tell be the way it felt).
Im down for helping small businesses but there is no way of knowing if they are cutting corners to save money. Employees at the large chains don’t benefit from ripping off customers because they all get paid the same no matter what.
When you pay a lot of money for framing, it sucks to get ripped off.

Hector has done excellent work on several pictures I have needed to be framed. He has also given me additional time to pay for work that I have requested because of the excellent business relationship between us. He has hundreds of types of mattes and frames for all types of presentation.

I was referred to The Money Man Gallery from The Enlarger in Orange. Hector is the man. I must say, I was rather unfair with him in my deadline. I brought in two 24×36 prints that needed to be custom framed. I gave him 7 days to complete it and called him back the next day asking him to cut the lead time to 3 days. He didn’t promise anything, but he said he would try. Turns out, we was able to meet my new deadline and I’m grateful to him for doing that for me.
He has a very hefty selection of frames and they are all stacked on one wall. It’s quite impressive. The shop is clean and he’s a local small business. Sure, you can get a coupon for Michael’s, but why not support a local business for just a few dollars more?
