Ballard’s Artwork Framing

What a wonderful experience I had here. Everyone was so helpful and the cost was substantially less than another framer I checked with. I frame a lot and look forward to working wth them again!

Great service… helpful friendly staff… they did an excellent job on framing our print… and they were very accommodating when we asked to reframe the print due to some blemishes on the original frame they sold us. Highly recommended.

Best service, amazingly skilled and talented staff, and the friendliest people on the planet. They earn your business in an earnest way. I’ve had Aaron and his echo park team frame several pieces for me and they’ve not disappointed. They pay such attention to detail and will not stop until the customer loves what they’ve created. They want to hear the story behind the art and try to recreate the feeling in their presentation. I needed two very large expensive pieces of art framed for my partner’s birthday but the day we went over to their echo park location, it was closed. We noticed that their newly-​opened store in Pasadena was open and ran over there before they closed. I love the vibe of the echo park shop but the pasadena shop, with its high ceilings, natural light, and openness was awesome. It’s in the same little shopping area as the train stop and is as charming as it gets. You can park underground and when you take the elevator up to the street level, they’re off to the left. Christa was working that night and spent over an hour with us helping us pick out the perfect frames. She hit the nail on the head in a matter of seconds. We had a blast picking out the frames and she had the patience of a saint. She worked so hard to have them ready for me to pick up on my partner’s birthday as opposed to the standard pickup time. In fact, she came in on her day off to make sure they were finished in time for me to pick them up. When i saw them I nearly passed out bc they were more beautiful than i could have imagined. Christa texted me to let me know they were ready bc i was flying in from Denver. I got to see Aaron (the owner), whom I just love and he agreed with how amazing the pieces looked. Always a pleasure to see these guys. Their energy is just wonderful and their passion comes through in everything they do. I love to support small businesses that have really good and solid people behind them. Give them your business. You won’t be disappointed.

The best service and most artistic solution to my four oil paintings that needed to be framed. The price was also extremely reasonable. In fact, I think they should raise their prices for the level of craftsmanship. The only downside was their one location in Echo Park but now they’ve opened this second location in Pasadena!

Am so excited to have discovered this place. Eric, the owner, was terrific and very personable. I brought in a contemporary oil painting to have framed — he picked 4 – 5 options, and we agreed on one which I think will be a perfect complement. We had a lovely conversation, and I could immediately tell why Ballard’s needed to open a second location to match the one in Echo Park. With this kind of service, I can’t wait to get my framed artwork back. Promised in a few weeks if not sooner, and price was very, very reasonable. Will post again once I have the final product back. Welcome to the neighborhood, Ballards!
