I’ve trusted Frame Makers with two separate jobs to display limited edition and artist proof concert posters (Wu-Tang Clan & Metallica). Both times, they crushed it. We absolutely love the attention to detail and craftsmanship put into the preservation and displays. I’d give six stars if that was an option.

I’m so impressed with Stacia/Tacoma Frame Makers. … the needlepoint was more of a rhombus shape prior to framing, which happens in the stitching process, so finding a shop that could not just frame it but also block it (straighten it) was a priority for me, and Stacia nailed it. When you’ve spent countless hours on something you want to know it’s going to taken care and this exceeded my expectations. It just glows, I couldn’t be happier.

Stacia preformed a Christmas miracle. She took all the old Santa pictures of our kids and created a beautiful framed collection for each of our children. Her design and artistic ability are unsurpassed. She has also framed and placed all of our art. Her skills far surpass framing. She considers each piece and its context. She is a master at her craft.

Fantastic shop with a huge variety of framing options and very knowledgeable people running the show here. They helped my wife and I frame up some comic art and they turned out beautifully. They even helped me finish a framing project that was started by another framer. I will be back for more.

An incredible local shop - everyone here has a great eye for design. I’ve gotten 4 posters and 2 Etsy prints framed here and it’s completely changed my home. I appreciate how careful they are with handling the prints as well - some of my items are collectible and I appreciate the professionalism.

I took my three largest cross stitch pieces in to be framed and couldn't be happier with how they turned out! Stacia was incredibly helpful with the process of choosing mats and frames, and they took so much care to preserve and mount my stitch work. Absolutely worth the price for keepsake pieces.

Stacia ended up having a beautiful old frame that she was able to repurpose for me, cutting it and making the color match my room. The finished product is beautiful, and she even fixed some editing errors on my photo (and took the dog hair off my husband’s suit lol). Will come here again if I ever need something else framed :)

I had a pile of show posters that needed to be on my wall, but I wanted the frames to match what I already have. … they were able to match my frames -exactly-. The framing is of the highest quality, front and back. Note the radius cut out of the mat, their work was perfection. I could not ask for better communication, service, or quality.

The owner Stacia is very helpful and can create and design her way through any of your framing obstacles. TFM has always had everything I needed and if they didn't, they can order it. They even do custom installations. The quality of the work and framing is high and carefully crafted with love and intricacy.

I have had several pieces framed here. And every time it’s worth every penny. My most recent frame job was my son’s prom suit and prom photo. … Frame Makers took the project on with care and compassion. This project couldn’t have come out better.

First I had an updated ketubah placed atop my original one. They did a fantastic job preserving the integrity of the original work and even the sticker from the original frame shop which was all done by my aunt and uncle. They then framed a piece I bought made of dried flowers. They helped me choose a frame of just the right wood to enchanted the beauty of the piece without drawing attention away from the beauty of the flowers.

I came in with two posters, and I was treated as if both were gallery pieces. The owner was accommodating when I mentioned financial restrictions. I'm only vaguely acquainted with fine-art framing, but the owner patiently helped my intimidated self along the way. Her eye is keen and exceptional; that cannot be stressed enough.

We’re based in Western Australia, literally the other side of the world, and needed a custom frame for a special boomerang gift. Stacia went above and beyond to help us make it happen. Despite the distance and tight timeline, her communication and support was fantastic, she even collected the boomerang from our hotel and returned it that same day.

By accident I knocked it off the wall and cracked the glass and that became the impetus for us to take a look for a framer in our area to either replace the glass or fully replace the frame. I am so glad we came across Tacoma Frame Makers yesterday because it made our decision easier to go ahead and make the change to a new frame and matting after a non-rushed informative discussion about all the pros and cons including clear pricing options.

I brought a piece I had previously framed in another state with me and was hoping to get the two new pieces framed to look cohesive … Stacia contacted the business that framed the piece I was hoping to match and tracked down and ordered the exact frame they used and got the measurements for the three kind of mattings used and was able to replicate the exact framing I had done before.

An outstanding team that was capable of assisting in building a military box/frame plaque with minimal time. Friendly staff who take pride in their work.

I walked in unsure if I would be able to make the correct decisions and left completely confident that I’m getting something very special and well made. The owner was very knowledgeable and down to earth. I learned that the old backing my picture was in wasn’t acid free! Scary as it was inherited years ago and was just sitting in a drawer.

I have done 2 projects here so far and they have both turned out so much better than I would have ever hoped for! Each one was designed for the piece itself and suit it so well. The staff is great at recommendations and helping you even if you have no idea what you are looking for. Bring the piece in and they will help you find what you need(colors, design, layout).

They did a fantastic job mounting a family heirloom for an anniversary gift. It was clear that they were very knowledgable on how to properly preserve pieces. The finished product far surpassed my expectations. They had piles of options and were helpful in generating advice to get what I was looking for. Worth every penny spent.

Stacia and her staff are a joy to work with. Not only do they do high quality work with a ton of options in finishes and style, they bring an artful touch to making sure your piece is exactly what you want. … I wouldn't trust anyone else with artwork I plan to keep for a long time. Long live Tacoma Frame Makers!

Had a wonderful experience at Tacoma Frame Makers. Stacia is great at what she does and had very helpful suggestions. I had a jersey framed for my boyfriend and it turned out amazing-- he loves it!

I had a bunch of diplomas and certificates that I had been waiting to get put in a frame and I gave Tacoma Frame Makers a try. The owners were incredibly helpful and took me through the whole process and helped me pick out frames and borders. The finished product looks SPECTACULAR! I couldn't be happier with the customer service and the work they did.

Stacia was very friendly and professional. She went out of her way to get my cross-stitch piece finished and back to me before Christmas. The framing was fantastic. I will definitely be going back.

I had a very nice 200 year old painting they found a beautiful frame style to match. I couldn’t be happier. It is a gorgeous centerpiece now. Thank you.

I've been searching for years for a local shop that specializes in art and working with artists. They have 30 years experience, and offer every service in house for what I need for my fine art business. They are expert in knowledge, intuitive in choices, and very kind to work with. I'm very grateful to have finally found them!
