Photo, art & frame restoration
We love a good challenge. If you have damaged artwork, photos or frames that you'd like to give a second life, we'd love to help. We strive to bring old pieces back to their original glory.
Before & after
Two family photographs from our restoration work. Slide each handle, or use the arrow keys, to compare the original with the restored copy.
What we restore
Our professional staff has a combined 100+ years of industry experience, and we treat every damaged piece with the care it deserves.
How it works
Every restoration starts with a conversation about the piece and what matters most to you.
Visit the shop Tuesday to Saturday, 11am–6pm, or send a request below to schedule a consultation.
We look at the piece with you and talk through what can be brought back.
Our team works to return the piece to its original glory.
Choose a new frame in the shop so the restored piece is protected and ready to hang.
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.
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 :)
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.
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 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 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.
